First Minute
This is a picture I took of my first grandson within one minute of his birth since his mom, my oldest son's wife--my sweet daughter-in-law, asked me (along with her husband and my other daughter-in-law) to stay in the room with her while she delivered. Her mom couldn't be there because she went into labor before her mom's flight arrived. Meanwhile, my husband was rushing to the airport two hours away to pick her up and bring her to the hospital. They both arrived, if I remember right, within a minute of his being born. When they came in, he was just being put under this golden heating lamp.
The lighting in the photo was all the original lighting. I did, however, crop it a bit and clone out a couple of items that were problematic. Those are his actual footprints, resized of course. I just had to include them because they were so cute. Normally it's a difficult thing to take a picture of a newborn, let alone a naturally born baby, and have it turn out making him look great. But he was easy. It was actually hard to take a bad picture of him right after he was born. He was absolutely adorable. It makes me wonder if this is what it means in the Bible when it talks about Moses having unusual beauty as a baby.
You can see that he was very aware. What you can't see is that he was looking directly into the eyes of all of us when we held him and spoke to him. Like his dad, he was able to hold his head up (freakishly, lol) at birth and ever after that. It was all completely mind-blowing. At this point, he was looking over toward his mom with wonder in that very precious infant way.
I have to say that there's nothing like watching one's own grand baby be born or at least getting to see him/her within a couple of moments after his/her birth. This was one of those spectacular moments the Lord shares with us that was allowed to be caught on camera. Hope you enjoy it. *Smile*
The passage displayed in the above picture is Luke 18:16-17: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (1984 NIV).
