So I headed to the hospital at about 7:20 last night. I got there about 7:40 and chilled out in the room and helped get ice chips (along with everyone else hehe) and just hung out with Cassie and her family until it was time to start pushing.
Then I was in charge of taking the video (during labor you can only get the sound, not allowed to take actual video). So I just video taped the curtains and floor until the baby came out. Cassie did SO good. She pushed great, she was really strong!! I am SO proud of her! She pushed for just under 45 min or so.
Iain Christopher was born…

Right in front of me and it was beautiful. This is the second time I have been able to be with a friend during labor and birth and it was so neat to share that experience. Their little baby is SO perfect. Even Cassie said, “He’s not ugly and wrinkly, his skin is so perfect and cute” … and she’s right. I don’t think I have ever seen a baby with such pretty skin and not be all shriveled. He’ll be a lady killer one day I am sure – I think it’s in his blood (haha to the daddy).
Here are 2 pics – one of Chris, Cassie, and the baby, and one of me and Cassie when I got to the hospital. This baby will have no lack of photos having two pro photogs as parents!!!
