Pictures from Eli's Birthday

 Alright, here's pictures from our first day in the hospital, Eli's Birthday.

Here I am after getting admitted and getting my IV and epidural.

I was brave and so glad to have that over with!

 And here's Sean just waiting. 

He's used to that by now after the two marathon labors we had with the girls.

This pictures is from kind of a wierd angle but here I am holding Eli for the first time.

This gives you a good sense of what babies' coloring is like when they're born.

And here's me with Eli after he was all check out and cleaned up.

 

Proud parents.

Here's me with Teresa my AMAZING midwife.

I want her to delivery my next baby.

And with me in this next picture is Tammy on the left, she's a student nurse and 

then Claudia on the right, my fantastic nurse.

I was glad to have them both there.

And here's Sean, happy as can be with his new son.

And here I am with Eli up in our room.

All I wanted to do was hold him and kiss him and just look at him.

And, of course, I wanted to take some pictures of him on his birthday...

 

And here's his wrinkly old man foot.

Reminds me of Avery's dry little feet when she was born.
