Kai's Birth Story | Utah Birth Photography

Kai's birth story, was a little less hospital traditional than most. This little buddy was a week over due, so mama was admitted to the hospital with hopes of a good old fashion birth, (minus the induction). After a few hours of occasional heart beat drops, the big men on campus decided that Mister Kai would need a more direct approach... my first documented emergency cesarean. It was a bit nerve racking for all, but only for a moment... the staff at the University of Utah hospital handled it effortlessly. Fine work ladies and gentlemen, he's a keeper.

My favorite things about this particular birth story, U of U Hospital is a obviously a teaching venue, so I had small lapses from reality straight into a Grey's Anatomy episode (true story)... and because of this, their were minimal second glances or confused looks by my presence (always good for the self-esteem), Charlie Sheen's cameo and lastly... Kai's face in the final frame, classic.
Also must give thanks to Melanie, one of the attending nurses who took my camera into the surgical room and caught a couple great frames... the story would not be complete with out them. Welcome to the world Kai guy.

So, you're saying that the nurses took those shots during the c-section? That is pretty darn amazing. I love this whole post... especially the last two. How cute are those?
