After Birth Photos

Since Julius was born in the same exact room as our Leo, we had the opportunity to place Julius' footprints directly above his big brother's. Below is a video of Adrian, our midwife, helping Ben stamp Julius' feet onto the wall...



Julius was born in the water. Here is a picture of him taken  only seconds after birth...




Adrian, our midwife who has now caught both of our children, holds Julius and tells me "this one looks like you, Rebecca!"


One proud Papa...



Julius on my belly after nursing for the first time, approximately 30 minutes after his birth.

After the birth, we ordered take-out food with the midwives and just relaxed. Three hours after Julius was born, we came home. He slept the entire car ride home...


Grandma Jeannie was his first visitor since she was already at home watching Leo...


Since we didn't arrive home until around 9:00 p.m., Leo was already asleep so we didn't get any shots of the two boys together! We will try to take some this afternoon and post them on the blog.

I love the foot prints on the wall. I was thinking about how inspiring that would be to me as a laboring mother in the midst of my labor, being surrounded by the visual pitter patter of little feet.
