Photojournal: Week 3

Well, the big event for me this weekend was the birth of my son Atticus Tate Rhodes. He is my second child, and my wife and I couldn't be happier right now (although we definately could have more sleep). This week will be photos of him since I spent most of my time in the hospital with my family. Here are the pictures of him, they begin with a couple from right after he was delivered.










This next photo is of my wife Maria later that night. She had delivered him via Cesarean after many hours of waiting for nature to take it's course for a natural birth and was very sore and groggy from the drugs. Normaly I wouldn't have taken a photo under those circumstances, but as I look at the photo I remember how worried I was about her and how hard the day had been on her.



The next two photos are one of Maria with Atticus and a shot of me with him.

Congratulations! He's beautiful. Thanks for sharing those first moments of Atticus' life with us. I love the one of his hand and especially the one with your wife.
We've missed you in class.

Congratulations! I love the picture of his little hand--the detail is wonderful. Also, I really like the picture of you and Atticus--I like how the mirror circles the two of you and also that the camera is in the picture with you--it says a lot about you, kind of like an environmental photo. Congratulations again.
