Contractions started on Thursday evening and we went into the hospital around 11:00 pm. It was a long night but all worth it when I was able to hold my little son. It was such an amazing moment when they handed little William to me for the first time. The look on Ricky's face when we saw that it was a boy was priceless. He was so very excited. It was a wonderful moment for both of us.
We had a wonderful experience at St. Josephs Hospital. One of my concerns was that my doctor would not be the one to deliver me but it worked out that he was on call that day. I am in love with my OB, Dr. Linzey and so is Ricky. We felt like we were in such good hands between him and the nurses. Dr. Linzey prayed with me for the baby before the delivery which is one of the many reasons I appreciate him so much. I am actually sad that I will not be seeing him every month anymore. :)
This first week with William has been totally surreal. It is still crazy to think that he is actually MY baby and I get to keep him. He is such a little love and a sweet boy. Ricky and I are pretty tired, but are enjoying being parents. Here are some pics of our first week together.
Proud Grandparents!

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the post and the pictures! We can't wait to meet little William. You look great, Sarah, and Ricky seems to be wearing fatherhood well. Ricky, happy first Father's day tomorrow! Please plan a trip to Reedley soon so we can take pictures of the new little guy before he changes too much!
