During my week of labor we stayed at my dad's
since he's close to the hospital.
This is during my 20hrs of labor in the hospital...
when the epidural was working. I have chosen
not to show the pictures of when it wasn't.
Just imagine the exact opposite of that face!
Big Daddy cutting the cord. He thought he wouldn't be up to doing that... but when they asked... he jumped right up and went over! He got to see her first, with all the complications of my labor, the NICU peeps were there and took her right after they pulled her out, they did a quick evaluation of her, and gave her a 8 or 9 apgar and left. Then Mike went over to do his duty. Along with taking all the pictures while we were in the hospital. Can you imagine? Just having your first child, moments before, and keeping it together enough to take unbelievable pictures! This was one of Daddy's MANY big moments!
There's My little Aowyn Rose!! ALLLLLLLL 9lbs of her!
Here is my Dad and Jane holding Aowyn at 1 day old...
notice the family hair color? hmmmm.
What a proud pappa!
My mom and Ben spending time with Aowyn - 1 day old Mom and Ben stayed in the hospital for over 16 hrs while I labored. They attempted to sleep on the mini couches in the common area of GBMC Maternity building ( AMAZING!)
They would come in occasionally and see me.. and feed me ice chips, and cheer me on. Dad and Jane came to the hospital too while I was laboring, and waited and waited. It was so special to have all 4 of them there to come and greet me afterwards.
Mike's Dad came to visit while we were in the hospital for 5 days
On our last day in the hospital my Brother Sean and my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Chuck came to meet the new Baby!that was such a treat, cuz they came all the way from Delaware to see us while in the hospital. Very special memories.
