The Birth Day of Liam, Mac & Sully | Knoxville Birth Photographer

Where to begin, where to begin… WHAT A DAY, yesterday!! First off, let me say that we all thought we had a week or so before these boys would enter the world. It’s amazing how quickly events change though. Mumma began to have liver problems, along with her preeclampsia and the doctors decided it was time. Within just a couple of hours Liam, Sully & Mac were here. We were in such a tiz yesterday scrambling to make everything happen (along with finishing client orders for our last pickup day before Christmas today!). Thankfully, Heather prepared the memory cards for the camera just the day before… just in case, because when we got the call, she practically threw them at me as I was running (literally!) out the door. The nurses and doctors at Fort Sanders Regional could not have been more gracious and kind. Not only did they allow Dad and myself in the operating room, they also allowed me to take my camera… something we thought would not happen! While I wasn’t allowed to take pictures, I set it up and one of the awesome nurses shot away for us. What an amazing moment to be in the room, when my three little brothers were born! They were only 33 weeks along, and we were all nervous about their health… but they are all doing so well! Dad and I went to the NICU last night to see them, and we got to hold little Liam. The c-section was a little rough on Mumma, but she’s getting through it and will hopefully be better with each day. Thank you, thank you to everyone who followed along with us yesterday on facebook, and for everyone who was praying for my family… our lives will never be the same. And, I guess with this, we are closing out 2010 and are so happy to welcome the Belden Boys to our lives. We’ll be posting more as we can.

Oh, and to answer the question that everyone seems to be asking — Memories Portraits is NOT closing, Heather and myself are taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays, and will be back to work on January 4th.  And Nancy will start back working Saturdays in about three weeks or so, we’ll have more answers on that in a bit.  Right now, we’re all trying to rest, recoup, and get a grip on our changing lives.  We’ve got big plans for the studio this upcoming year, and just couldn’t be any happier at the moment!!  In the meantime, if you really need something, find Heather Jones Moore on facebook and send her a message… do not send emails to the Memories website, they will not be checked until Jan 4th.

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Happy New Year!!!  See you in 2011!!
