My first memory I am posting I figure is extremely appropriate since it happened right at a year ago. This memory is of the first time I saw my son. I was drugged, and out of it, since it was a c-section delivery. I remember knowing he was born, before I heard him cry even. I felt a change in pressure, and knew he was here before I heard the doctor say the time : 8:03am. Then I heard him cry. It seemed like seconds before I saw him for the first time. His eyes were closed, and I told him to open his eyes, since Mommy wanted to see his eyes. He did! The first thing I told him to do, at minutes old, and he listened. It was very brief, but enough that I got to see his eyes before they took him away. I wanted to hold him so badly, I was sad when they took him. I didn't get to see him again or hold him until 11:30 am.
The first time I got to hold him, he started crying. I said "shh, Mama's got you" and he quieted down. We got some first pictures, including of Mommy's first kiss. I had asked beforehand, that no one else hold him before me, besides Daddy, so everyone got to see him, but they all left the room for the 30 minutes I had him in there. He had to go back to the nursery since he was having blood sugar issues. I got some rest, as little as I could, until he came back to the room around 2:30pm. That is when everyone else finally got to hold him, and I breastfed him for the first time. That is another memory in and of itself, so I will post that at a later day.
