Stubborn Smiles

Michelle sent him the cute brown outfit in the picture above...I think Collin like the outfit!

Looking at Daddy and thinking about a smile...

And here he is with a smile!

Collin had his first photo shoot right before his 3 week birthday by October Sky Photography. October was great and took lots of cute pictures of Collin.

Collin has been here for 6 weeks now, but I've been very behind on the blogging! I guess you could say I have plenty going on these days, but loving every minute!

On Tuesday, October 26th, I began the day going to the hospital super early and beginning my scheduled induction. Everything went fine during the day, but after I dilated fully and pushed for several hours, my doctor advised me that I would need to have a c-section since he wasn't dropping. So, off we went to the operating room for a c-section and the next thing I knew Collin was close to making his arrival. The procedure was a bit fuzzy for me, but I can tell you that Tim did an excellent job keeping me calm and happy and before we knew it the doctors we all remarking on how large our baby boy was. Looking back, it was kinda funny because all they kept saying was, "oh my goodness, look at the size of this kid" and "get that child on the scale!" Honestly, I just wanted to hear my baby cry and know he was healthy. Luckily, Tim was there to calm me down and confirm that he was healthy and had all his fingers and toes! I got to hold Collin while they were finishing up my surgery and just as everyone had promised me during my pregnancy, it was a moment I will never forget!
