Welcome to the world, Maddox!

On Wednesday, August 6, 2008, Maddox entered the world!  I went into labor in the middle of the night, but could never have made it through the entire labor without the help of an epidural, and the incredible support of my husband, Travis.  The experience made me fall in love with him all over again, and every day when I see him interacting and caring for our little boy, I am amazed at how lucky I am to have them both.

 Meet Maddox.  Born at 1:14pm, he weighed 8#1oz and was 20″ long.  He is in perfect health, but is so small that he doesn’t even fit into his newborn outfits!  He is absolutely amazing, beautiful, handsome, and quite simply, perfect.  We took these in the hospital when he was two days old, using natural light from the windows, just before we got him dressed to go home.  Ignore the little pressure lines on his arms, he had been sleeping and was all dented up from the blanket and his little shirt.  🙂

I love how the depth of field is so shallow on this, and the focus point lands on the eye hidden under his hand.

For someone so tiny, he has huge feet!

He was not happy about being undressed! 

He did calm down after a bit, though!

He is truly incredible.  Thank you again to everyone for your support and love over these last few months!  I am sure this won’t be the last you see of him on here! 🙂.
