emerson’s big day

This morning I’m feeling a bit more like myself and so glad to be up and about, out of the hospital gown and disconnnected from tubes and things. Yesterday was such a special day and the most relaxed and easiest of my births. I’m going to write about it when I’ve had a bit more sleep and my brain is working. Until then I think these pictures tell the story…….

happy mummy

and here is my gorgeous Emerson today…… I just stare at him all day in amazement that he is ours and my 5th precious baby and also thinking that I’d do it all over again.

He is just perfect!

  2. He is gorgeous and you look great pre and post surgery!! Enjoy…

  3. He is beautiful Corrie. I had a great caesar with my son and I would do it all over again.

  4. Mesmerizing. May congratulations

  5. Corrie he’s adorable – even the little frown! LOL that you would think straight away of doing it all again…maybe I would have too if not for the excruciating labours! And I even had epidurals for both mine!! Enjoy these early days of getting to know your beautiful, adorable little fella. I bet the girls will be beside themselves :)

  6. Looking at these takes me back… I can understand why you would do it all over again Corrie. Beautiful photos. You look so relaxed and gorgeous. Well done, Emerson is perfect. Amazing times xoxo

  8. The magic of new babies is something that nothing else in the world can beat!

  9. Congratulations Corrie and family – you are right, he is just perfect! An adorable little boy! I am due to have my second c-section (third baby) in November. Not feeling as nervous as I was for the first c-section. Your comment about it being the most relaxed of all your births makes it sound as though c-sections get easier… (that’s what I’m hoping!)
    Enjoy your stay in hospital and this very precious time with your new little boy. I love his name too.
