This is an old post from another blog I wrote right after he as born.
It's 1am and in a few hours from now we'll be leaving Medical City with our newborn son - Jacob. I'm still trying to train myself to say it..."our son Jacob". It sounds so good saying it.
I can't describe the feeling when I first saw him, I felt like crying but instead held back. I froze and took a step back as he was being wheeled in the lamaze room, I heard him cry from a distance and before I knew it he was there --- looking into my eyes as if saying "where the hell am I and who the hell are you" he he. I could tell he knew who I was.
I barely slept for the past few days since he was born, I've been looking at his picture and videos over and over again. I can't believe it, he's finally here. As I look at him I wonder what his thoughts are. I wonder how he'll be in the coming months, I can't wait to see his face when he sees his first cat, hears the rain for the first time or even the first time he feels the warmth of the sun hit his face -- everything is new to him.
As for me, I know that everything will change because I will see the world through his eyes. Welcome to the world my son, I love you.
