Boy oh Boy oh Boy!

This post will be dedicated to pictures at birth and within the first hour of his life.

I am just now getting to the images from my real camera. (these are raw, unedited; but how can you enhance the perfection of such beauty in my son.)

I introduce to you:

Chandler Monroe

Chandler came in to the world with so much beauty and wonder.
It was supernatural.

The delivery process was so easy for momma and baby.Even still Bethany keeps saying "I didn't feel a thing" and has been rejoicing at how pain free the delivery was and recovery process has been thus far. We are thankful.

More posts to come soon on the details of Chandler's first day of life, and the move to the NICU.
