Our first family photo! (August 4, 2008)Hamilton Franklin Gates
Born August 4, 2008 at 10:02 am
Weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz!
This was Monday morning right before we left to go to the hospital.
Juston and I waiting to be taken back to the OR. He kept me entertained to help the time pass quickly!
Might be too graphic for some, but thought this was so cool that I could see Hamilton being worked on while I was being sewed up! I got to watch them clean Hamilton off, do his footprints, get his vaccination, Juston cut the cord- all of that was so cool to see and once again I was occupied to help pass the time while they were working on me! Oh and how cool is this- we got to video the whole birth! I didn't think they let people do that anymore, but here in Michigan they do, so we have it all on tape!
Juston and Hamilton- we are in recovery at this point.
The is the first time Hudson held Hamilton. It might have been the sweetest thing ever. His first words to Hamilton were: " hey hamilton! want to go to the drum store?"

Hudson thought this was a microphone, so needless to say we had some entertainment when he would come to my room!

Okay, are you SURE that you haven't stolen DNA from Aaron and me because he looks so much like Jack--just like Hudson did!! What a sweetie!! I am mailing you a little gift this week. I love you and miss you!!
Rebekah, I am so thankful that everything went so wonderfully! The pictures of Hudson and Hamilton melted my heart! Do they look alike to you?! what adorable boys you have :0) Good luck with those first few weeks and God Bless! Lindy Carr
He is beautiful! Seeing pictures of your new baby just reminds me of how fast time goes by, especially the second time around. (Bennett was six months old yesterday!) I hope your transition home goes very smoothly. I hope we get to see y'all some time soon. Hudson looks like he is going to be a great big brother!
How Precious! I'm impressed with such a speedy blog update. I guess you know how many people are anxious to see and hear all about Hamilton. Congratulations to you all. Can't wait to see him im person on of these days.
He is so precious!! What a pretty baby! The pics of Hudson and Hamilton are so cute! I'll have to show them to Avery when she wakes up. I can't wait to meet him! You look great by the way!
I absolutely love the pictures of your sweet new arrival! It reminds me so much of when Clara Kate was born in December and how Emmersen bonded so much with her sister from the start. Take a deep breath the next couple of weeks! It does get easier, I promise! :) You have a wonderful family and I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations Bekah & Juston! He is beautiful! We sure do miss you guys!
