as you may already know, we have a new addition to our family. his name is emerson caldwell stepp, and he was born at 12:10 AM on january 30, 2010. he weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces and was 20 inches long.
naturally, i made a video documenting his birth. just so you know, driving long distances in heavy snowstorms with the vehicle in four-wheel-drive while holding a camera is totally safe. just make sure you have your hazard lights flashing. we did. and the result is this video highlighting the whole amazing experience.
and of course, i jumped at the opportunity to use switchfoot in the soundtrack. it is a song entitled “always”, which is from their new album, hello hurricane. as you can see, we decided to aptly title the video “always” as well. you can check it out below. enjoy.
Of course I’m crying after watching this, as I’m only two days away from meeting our baby girl … but let’s be honest … even if I wasn’t pregnant I’d still be crying. This video is precious!!!!!!!!!! but most precious is the miracle on the birth of a child, the love of his parents as they make this “babymentary” for him and the patience of my friend Kelly to have a camera on her face as she is going through contractions and all the rest. he he he.
Love you guys!!
Emerson is PERFECT!! (can’t wait for Emilia to meet him)
PS: Linda watched this with me as well and she LOVED it too <3
beautiful video. beautiful mama and baby. I prayed for you, so glad that him and mommy were healthy! Congrats!
Wow dude this was AMAZING. You are the man
