Bean Burrito….

This time yesterday….seems like light years ago.  I was tromping around Myrtle Beach….free of laundry, carpool and schedules….only to (happily) be on a roller coaster of a schedule…dictated by a 7 pound 6.5 ounce bean.  Friends had given this sweet couple a gift of me shooting the delivery of their first baby….and let me just say – that is a gift to ME!  It never gets old and the magic never dies.  No matter how many hours of anticipation are spent sitting on ready…waiting on go – it is ALWAYS worth it.

Mama worked so hard….and ended up being the main guest of the ballroom with blue drapes – surgical drapes.  Daddy stayed proud, positive and excited through the wait…and, after the delivery, I heard THREE different nurses/doctors say, “I haven’t seen a Daddy this proud in a long time!”  I agree.  It was really special to experience….and even more so when the new, little family reunited after Mama recovered for a bit.

Please note Daddy’s eyes of fear in one of the pictures….but that disappeared with the exhaustion as nature took over.  Nice job wrapping up your first BEAN burrito, Daddy!  They didn’t know what they were having….LOVE IT….it’s a sweet, feminine, little girl.

….and this is what it looked like outside on the morning you were born.
