Beau's First Week

Baby Abrams is finally here! Noah and I are so excited to welcome Holmes Beaufort Abrams into our family. My water broke on Saturday around 2pm and we went straight to the hospital. After working toward a vaginal delivery for 27 hours, the doctor decided it was time for a c-section. Of course, I found this frustrating and terrifying, but when he was delivered safely at 5:52pm on July 19, weighing 7lbs, 15oz. and measuring 20 and a half inches, all my fears and anxieties disappeared. We stayed in the hospital recuperating until Thursday, and since then we have been home adjusting to our new life with baby. We've had some long nights, but it all so worth it!

Here are some pictures from Beau's first week.









First time I held our little boy after Noah brought him to me in recovery. I was a little dazed from the surgery, but I think I saw Noah strut as he walked his son from the nursery to me in recovery.
