What was your reaction to seeing your baby for the first time?

I was honestly surprised she was born with a full head of wavy blond hair she and I was equally surprised she was only 8 lbs. 3 oz!

Ds1 I was totally overwhelmed & kinda in shock...just kept saying he was so precious.
Ds2 I was teary eyed and just dying to hold him...he was much bigger than I expected!

We waited to find out the gender, so I was totally shocked, we had a boy. I just cried instantly with insane joy. He was 2 pounds heavier then what the doctor guessed he would be, and had the biggest cone head (I was in labor 32 hours and pushed for nearly 2, he was in there for a while, haha). But I still thought he was the most beautiful thing in the world!

With my first, i had a rough delivery, it was such a struggle trying to get her out, so by the time she came out, i was in such relief and closed my eyes for a bit. She was immediately looked at by the nurses, so she wasn't brought to me until after 10 minutes or so. I smiled at her, and told her hi. I could not believe that she had come out of my body :-]

With my second, i laughed & cried at the same time, and kept saying "Oh My God!" as soon as he came out. As he was put on my chest, i couldn't believe i had just given birth to a boy! Lol. I was so happy, both times.

I was like OH MY GOD!!! I was in shock just staring at him, i said i love him hes gorgeous

shock

Honestly? Confusion. I was on blood pressure medication for days that make you loopy and I was put under during my c-section. So when I woke up I had no idea he had been born. 

Over joyed :)

Tears with each one and overwhelming love

first one was purple and literally folded in half so i was very scarred. She was fine i have a bicornate uterus and she ran out of room. Second one i cried tears of joy and relief that she was healthy, i had so much trouble with my pregnancy i was afraid to hope. Words can not express how i felt when she came out screaming and perfect in every way!!
