Dominic Willoughby

Sarah and I had our first child on Monday night (Aug 10th)! Sarah is incredible. She wanted to have the birth naturally so she didn’t get an epidural. She started having intense contractions around 8:30 am and labored 14 hours using the Bradley method of relaxation . At 10:30pm the obgyn insisted that the labor wasn’t progressing at all and that a c-section would be necessary. Apparently Sarah has what the doctor called “little boy hips”. It gets kind of technical…
Obviously a c-section is not what Sarah wanted but it worked out for the best. The delivery at that point was quick and everything went very smoothly. At 11:27 pm a beautiful, healthy boy was born! His name is Dominic and he’s 7 lbs 11 oz and 22.5 inches long. Some how I was able to snap a couple pics of everything that happened and I put it into a little slideshow. Don’t worry, there isn’t anything too graphic. It’s just a little 5 minute video so hopefully it’s done loading by now. If it isn’t FULLY loaded, just keep waiting. It’s kind of annoying if it starts and then stops 20 times.
Thanks for checking in, everyone, and for keeping us in your thoughts.

That made me tear up a bit. Very awesome brother. So happy for you!
Thank you for sharing that. It was so beautiful!
Wow! He is just beautiful. Sarah, you look absolutely amazing after all of that. You don’t look like you skipped a beat. Dominic looks so alert and he loves that thumb. So sweet. I’m so happy for you. Tim, I can’t believe you just put this together. Amazing job. Our little boy isn’t due for 2 more months but after seeing this I want him here NOW! Many blessings to you both!!
That was amazing. What a beautiful family! God’s blessings on you.

SOO precious! He is absolutely beautiful.
What an incredible gift God has just bestowed on your family.
Our first grand-godchild–can’t wait to see him in person!
Congrats Sarah and Tim! Thanks so much for the lovely record of Dominic’s birth. You will treasure it forever.Sarah looks great and deserves credit for trying to go natural. I know what that is like! He looks so much like a combination of the two of you right now but that changes a little as time goes by. I wish we lived closer so we could see you all more often.We love and miss you all and Tim your work is amazing. Tell Sarah to keep her chin up as recovery from a c-section can take a little more time and patience but Dominic is worth it all.
amazing, just absolutely amazing. you have a beautiful family.
Solid video! I’m fired up for yous guys. I hope you took that sweater off when you left the hospital haha.
Tim, Congratulations to you and Sarah!! What an incredible slideshow!! I’m close to tears, it just doesn’t seem possible for these gym kids to be having their own kids!!

How WONDERFUL and touching and incredible this little production was - in every sense of the word! I look forward to more updates, they are stunningly beautiful…the compositions, the music, the mood…Tim you are surely gifted in your craft…may God prosper your future business efforts.
And Sarah…sweet Sarah…how altogether lovely you are my dear! We were just watching some old ICA videos and to think you are now so grown and entering parenthood just overwhelms me! Your little Dominic will bring you great pleasure…what a treasure!!!
WOW! Stop crying, Gina! That was AMAZING! Sarah and Tim, I can’t remember two more beautiful, composed-looking, first-time parents in all my days! Dominic is beyond precious, and a kindred spirit; I’m a diehard thumbsucker, and there’s no confusing him for anything BUT one! Greg is going to be ecstatic at the choice of Dominic’s name! Congratulations and prayers for all 3 of you from the whole Pine Family! Thanks be to God! P.S.: Don’t listen to ANY dumb advice! Every day and every stage is as beautiful as this one, and it just keeps getting BETTER! Always keep God in the middle of the family, at the heart of every decision, and it’ll be AMAZING at every point! Love and prayers!
