9:23 a.m.
5 lbs. 10 oz.
Kaiser Hospital (San Diego)
On Friday evening, my sister calls to let me know that she's going into labor. I immediately feel a huge rush of excitement! So, I pack some entertainment for Sophia + I'm on my way (90 mph) to the hospital :)
By the time I arrive around 7:30 p.m., she's only 1 cm dilated + you need 10 cm to give birth. So I sat back in the rocking chair, pop in Jason + Christy's favorite movie, "Knocked Up," which also happens to be the first movie they watched on their first date...LOL!
Sophia manages to keep herself busy. Don't be mistaken, she actually likes to read.
Throughout the night, Jason continues to give her so much support + lovin'
Before we arrived, they had a real scare. The baby's heart rate was going down + they were going to have a c-section but Christian fought hard to come out v-style. Here's an image of Jason in his scrubs, which the fathers/partners wear during the c-section. Jason liked playing doctor :)
Christy had an oxygen mask, which gave Christian more oxygen, thus keeping up his heart rate so it wouldn't drop again.
Jason's dad + mom stopped by for some family support.
...and then there's me.
I leave at 12:30 a.m. I get a call around 7 a.m. from Jason saying "Hey Daisy! Christian's coming in about an hour. We want you to photograph. Hurry up!"
90 mph, here I come!
My sister's only request was to stand behind her + DO NOT get any shots from below.
Contractions come + push! 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10
"PUSH!"
Welcome Christian...
Not only is Christy + Jason crying, but I'm sobbing behind my camera, barely able to see through the viewfinder. It was very emotional watching this life being born.
Awww...my sister has wanted to be a mother for soooo long.
Congratulations Christy + Jason! Christian is so beautiful + so lucky to have parents who will love + truly cherish him.
And thanks guys for letting me document this special moment for you!
