Happy Father’s Day to my husband! This is a collection of videos my mom recorded on her little camera. I was still in surgery during this… and, I’ve avoided watching these videos because of the feelings it brings up. But, I’m happy I put this clip together. By the way: I totally balled when I watched the final version. I’m happy to have it and share it.
Happy Father’s Day to all you good dad’s out there too!
P.S. I put this together on Animoto.

She's beautiful! Love this. What a sweet way to celebrate 😀
this is so beautiful!
This is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing the sweetness and many blessings on your family!
Total tears. What a sweet girl she has become.
I know.
Oh the sweetness!! You are so lucky to have these videos! Thanks for sharing this!
i loved this so much. x
Oh my, so sweet. This made me tear up as well!
I was put under for my c section, too. I didn't get to hold Ruby until I woke up from surgery. I still haven't written about it, but this video really hits close to home for me.
It's so beautiful, i'm teary! 🙂
It's so great that your mom took those videos! It made me tear up and I don't even know her 🙂 Poor babies! Becoming a person is tricky business. Thanks for sharing <3
I'm happy she did.
Thinking of your story, I totally bawled too. (it could be the pregnancy hormones also.) What a precious gift for your hubby.

Oh, those hormones!
I'm totally bawling too! Isn't amazing that brand new baby R still has some of the same features today? That was simply the sweetest thing!
I know! So many similarities.
That was so sweet. Oh my goodness what a beautiful newborn she was!!!
She really was.
Thank you for sharing this! I had a long surgery and recovery after my baby was born so I missed everything.
I ask my husband all the time what they were doing with the baby while I was in surgery. He just gives me vague details.
This video was actually really helpful for me to understand what was going on during that time! I worry that I missed
so much and was so sad I wasn't there to comfort my little guy.
I was so sad when I first saw these videos 2 years ago, but I'm glad my mom recorded them.
same for me! It allowed me to see what was going on while I was still in surgery too. Its nice to see what happens..
Oh my. So sweet. I cried too.
<3
Well dang, you made me cry my eyes out too! So incredibly sweet. And baby ruari looks just like big girl ruari 🙂
I know. The cry is so similar too.
Oh this is so so cute. What a special tribute. Happy father's day! 🙂
Thank you.
I cried with you 🙂 Awesome gift!
Thank you sweet mama!
