Precious moments with your child

The best moment was on the day I gave birth to my son - [name_u]Robin[/name_u] ended up arriving by emergency c-section, and I lost quite a lot of blood. I saw a couple of glimpses of him before he was whisked away to be checked, and then we were rolled over to the recovery room. That part is all a bit of a blur to me - he was fine but I was really nauseous and shaking uncontrollably. Because I was in such a bad way, I wasn’t able to do skin to skin with him or hold him, so he was in my wife’s arms next to my bed. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though I was quite out of it, I realised he was crying and I turned around towards him and started chatting to him. And the second he heard my voice, he stopped crying. :sob: :heart: That was the moment that it sunk in that the baby over there was my son, and the power I had to sooth him just with my voice struck me as really overwhelming and awe inspiring.

[name_u]Day[/name_u] to day, my favourite moments are when all three of us are just hanging out. [name_u]Robin[/name_u] on the floor examining his hands or chewing on a toy while me and my wife are sitting nearby chatting and joking around, and occasionally [name_u]Robin[/name_u] will chime in with some babbles or laugh at us. We’re just all together in the living room spending some time together because we’re a family. :heart:
