Day 1

This is you on the day you were born, January 15, 2014.  I think your dad may have taken a couple other photos before this one of you snuggled against my chest during surgery (I'll have to find them), but this is the one that I've kept as my first record of you.

This is the first photo I took of you.  You were only hours old.  We had known each other for nine months, but holding you for the first time was a new feeling altogether.
Little bug, this was the best day of my life.  Seeing you for the first time broke my heart, and I haven't been able to put back the pieces since then.
