Thursday night around 10:30 PM, my girlfriend's water broke. The contractions got intense around 5:45 AM, Friday (the 13th) morning. By 8:06 AM, Liam was born at home, in the bathtub. We had 2 midwifes show up to help with the delivery and everything went as smooth as we could have hoped for.

Here's an image of Daddy (me) about 30 minutes after he was born. Still in total shock, so happy I was crying on and off, uncontrollably. Forgive the iphone snap-shot. It's all I had at the time.

...minutes later, with Momma....

The next day. Only 1 day old. :) We hadn't clipped/filed his nails yet, hence the little scratches on his precious face.

One of Momma holding him on Saturday, still only a day old.

3 Days old. Morning snuggles. this one was shot this morning with my 7D and Sigma 35mm f/1.4.

Needless to say, I am still overwhelmed with joy. I have several friends and co-workers that had tried explaining what it would be like and I must say... It's simply un-explainable. I was as mentally prepared as possible, but nothing could prepare me, emotionally for what I have just experienced. Life changer for sure. I am such a happy father.

More photos to come as Liam grows. <3
