Bosma Family: August 2011

He was only 5 days late but this little guy was breach. They had to go in a get him, by c-section, and grab him by his ankles and pull him out, no joke. It wasn't my first choice but as Tom and I kept reciting to ourselves "all we want is a healthy mom and healthy baby".

Tom knew that I really wanted to have some "skin to skin" time and even though its almost unheard of with a c-section he did an amazing job of making that happen. At the time, I was feeling a little claustrophobic from the anesthesia, so it only lasted for a second, but looking back at this picture makes me so happy. Looking at my little boy, telling him "hello" for the first time and explaining to him that I'm his mama and that I'm going to take such good care of him. Its a moment I'll never forget and one that I am so happy for making it happen.

The players... Tom, Carter, me and yes that's my mom.

My OB doctor is a good friend of Tom and mine and so one could say we got the royal treatment, step one, allowing more than just Tom in on the action. Being my mom, Nona was the obvious choice. I'm telling you as far a c-sections go this was a special one.
