New baby pics
First the mother shortly before the birth
My sister is the first to hold this one as well. She was also the first to hold my first child, this is my second. She was a great help through labour.
The little guys breathing was a little rough so they gave him some oxygen.
The oxygen was not quite enough so they put a CPAP on him. Note the two little scratches on his cheek. C-sections are NOT gentle operations and this one had to come out with forceps, whence the two little scars, yes they are scars now.
The little guy would not cooperate with the CPAP. So the nurses had to go to some extreme looking measures to keep his mouth closed for the CPAP to work properly.
The baby is fine. All in all the birthing was as expected. My wife is a diabetic and we expected some issues with the birth and knew he was headed straight to intensive care from the birthing room.
After X-rays and observation the pediatrician said he likely breathed in a bit of the amniotic fluid and that was all that was bothering him.
He recently had his first ear birthday and is learning to walk. Healthy and fun
Also all these photos were done with a Rebel XT and 50mm f/1.4 lens. No flashes and a couple weeks after getting the camera...

it was pretty nervewracking the first time through, even without the headgear. Second time through I was better prepared. Emotionally and photographically
Nurses in the NICU starting identifying me by the camera
Besides f/8, likely would have been too too slow. That was already ISO400, 1/125 and f/1.4. Remember I was working with a somewhat self imposed no flash rules.
Really should have bumped up the aperture and reduced ISO speeds for in the operating room though. But I did have other things on my mind
In that last picture most of that stuff on his head is to gently keep his mouth closed. The towel and tensor style bandage around his head are for keeping his mouth closed to the air could be blown into his lungs, not just out of his mouth. So looks worse that it was.
Also on a plus it was all precautionary.
This little guy as actually released before mommy.
