For the last ten months, I have made sure to treat myself to a daily dose of happiness. No, I am not talking about drugs or alcohol. I am referring to Kat's first video - the footage that Mike shot shortly after she was born, when our doctor was checking her over. I don't know what it is about the video that makes me so happy. Perhaps because it was the best day of my life? Or because I can't believe she was once that small? Or maybe it's because I can see her personality, even though she was only minutes old (at the end of the video (not shown in this one), she rips her air tube out similar to how she currently pulls off her own clothes).
This video is a mash-up of the first two videos Mike took that evening - Kat being checked over and (an hour later) me getting to meet Kat (I figure rather than watching ten minutes of video everyday, why not cut it down to just the highlights?). Even though I only got to hold her for fifteen minutes, I remember just drinking everything in - her perfect nose, her furrowed forehead and her tiny, kissable lips...best moment of my life to date.

Had a couple of Awwww moments when you turn and smile at the camera while you're holding Katelyn and at the end where Mike is rubbing her arm and cheek. Made me smile, so precious.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile too. Makes me want another one in the worst way, but I can't imagine loving another baby as much as I love Katelyn!
