Worth the Wait

After 39 weeks and 4 days (the longest we've waited for any of our kids to arrive), I endured 17 hours like this

 

and this


and was rewarded with this,
 

our second little boy.


He cried a lot his first hours.
 

I don't think he liked the bright lights,


 all the poking and prodding,
 

and temperature taking and other cold instruments.
 

 But he did like to snuggle and listen to a familiar heartbeat.


And after all that waiting
 

we were glad to snuggle with him, too.
