So, Mary came up with the idea that on this kid, we wouldn't find out the gender until it was born...at first, I was against it because I wanted to plan things out and be prepared...but we agreed on it. And I have to say, it was such a neat experience. I mean, it would be exciting if we already knew (like we did w/Korbin), but it just added a little excitement to the whole thing.
We got to the room and they did all of the prep stuff and then whisked Mary off into the O.R. I got to dress up in a fancy shmancy outfit with booties and a cap again! I had to wait several minutes to meet them in the O.R. because it turns out they couldn't find the doctors! lol, it was kinda funny..
Anyway, the doctor's were operating for a few minutes and then said "does dad want to say if it's a boy or a girl?" So naturally, I stood up and I see my child face down with the doctor's hand covering its little bottom haha! He said "here you go!" and uncovered it and, welp, it's a boy! My first image of my son was him mooning me! lol....Haha, anyway, the doctors were great and had fun with it. Oh and another cool thing is that they had music playing in the room while they were operating....not DMX-style gangsta music, but nice, light, relaxing music. He was born when Train - Soul Sister was playing....you should youtube the song if you've never heard it before....anyway....here are a few pics from when he was about 30 seconds old!
Awww....our first family pic together......wish Korbin coulda been there too :( :( The hospital implemented some strict visiting rules though, so no visitors under 14 allowed...guess our little boys will have to wait a couple days to meet each other!
We love our new little addition to the family!
oh, and P.S. the little guy's name is Quinn Daniel Nelson
