I have the most ridiculous question

in June 2013 Moms

If this is my biggest issue...lol  DH and I agreed that we'd like Aiden to meet his new little brother with just the two of us there because it's a special moment for us as a new family of four.  But if I'm holding Quinn and DH has to bring Aiden in to the room and lift him to see the baby, we're going to miss getting the very first reaction on camera/video.

So, my ridiculous question is what would you do?  Have a (I'm sure very willing) grandparent be there to either walk Aiden in and do the introduction/take pictures or not worry about getting the literal first moment they meet on camera so that we have our "new family" moment alone?

    When DD was born, my hubs brought DS into the hospital, he was 15 months at the time, and my husband just took the pics and video of me holding DD and DS seeing her and touching her for the first time. They are the best pics ever, and I've never thought twice that DH wasn't in them. But PP had a god suggestion for a nurse to take them!

    ETA I just noticed what ur saying about him lifting him...I sat on the couch for those pics so DS could reach and then he climbed up himself.

    If you want it to be just the four of you,maybe your H could walk him in and sit him beside you while his eyes are closed for a big surprise. He can grab the camera real quick and snap/record away when Aiden is allowed to open his eyes.

    Wait, how old is Aiden? Will he keep his eyes closed? I suppose if the camera is set up and ready it'd only be a few seconds.

    He just turned three so I'm not sure lol  But you saying "set up" reminded me that we have a tripod for our video camera!  I think we'll do that and have it rolling for the first few minutes and then let DH snap some pictures.  Unfortunately, me being out of bed isn't going to happen because I'm a RCS so I'll definitely be bed bound that first day.

    I've thought about this too!  DD1 will be the first to meet DD2 and I want DH to be the one to bring her to the hospital.  I don't want anyone else there, not even grandparents, until we've had time to bond as a new family of 4.

     I've decided that I just want to enjoy those first moments and not worry about getting them on camera.  I will have DH take a few pictures and I'm sure there will be a nurse that can take our picture as a family.

    Ask a nurse.

    set up the video camera on a tripod

    or ask a relative.
