ASHER MAX





Well, somebody got me hooked on facebook so I have been ignoring my blog a little. SORRY! Here are some pictures from Asher's latest photo shoot. I don't take the best pictures but I'd like to someday but he's a cutie pie either way. Asher was born Monday, January 26th by emergency c-section. His heart rate kept dropping during contractions and at one point it didn't go back up as quickly as they were hoping. The doctor came in and said it's possible that they might have to do a c-section. 5 min later he came back in with an entire team of worker bees who made me drink some terrible tasting thing, put on a silly blue hat, and say bye to my husband. It was as bad as you are imagining. Just minutes later we had a baby. His cord was around his neck so this saved the kids life. Talk about pain... My epidural wasn't working on the right side so they had to put me under. when i woke I was in terrible pain and the nurse had the nerve to press on my stomach. OUCH!!! Asher was 7 lbs 7 ounces, 21 1/2 inches and as cute as a button. He was jaundice so we were sent home with some lights to string around his abdomen.Now we are at home resting comfortably.

Your story is horrific, scares me to no end! So what;s the verdict, who does he look like?

Erin said...

Noah is doing so good with Asher. When he actually gives him attention his says Ahhhh and kisses the top of his head. Sometimes when I pick Asher up he'll say "no, no" and point to the baby then point to where ever i picked him up from. Mostly he's good

He already looks like he's changed so much! Still precious though, of course! And from the looks of those pictures you better give up that vinyl lettering stuff and become a photographer! Beautiful!
