One
of my last pregnant tummy pictures. =\ |
 |
Another
tummy picture. |
 |
Trying
to find the pants that I wanted to wear to the
hospital. |
 |
I
didn't realize how big I'd gotten until I looked
back at these pictures. |
 |
The
calendar on our door. We'd been keeping a
countdown of days, starting about 2 weeks before
she got here, and ended up going into negative
days, since she was late. The extra comments were
sritten after we knew I was being induced. |
 |
Changing
into the oh-so-flattering hospital gown. |
 |
Getting
comfy. |
 |
Hooked
up to the fetal monitor. |
 |
Printout
of her heartbeat (left)and contractions (right). |
 |
Her
heartbeat, 146, and the strength of the
contractions, 26. |
 |
Me,
on the phone with my mom. |
 |
Me,
at about 6 am, attempting to make a funny face.
I'm holding a lemon ice pop, which was the best
thing I got to eat during labor. |
 |
Oooh.
Contractions are getting stronger. This was at
about 6 am. |
 |
The
bed John got to sleep on. |
 |
Me
in the shower at about 9 am. |
 |
Emma's
little bed in the hall outside of our room. |
 |
Me,
post epidural, in the middle of pushing. This was
about 3:30. |
 |
John
cutting the cord, at about 5, right after she was
born. |
 |
Aww.
Clean baby on the baby scale. 8 lbs, 5 1/4 oz. |
 |
Emma
and I, the first time I really got to hold her. |
 |
The
placenta table! Yum! |
 |
John
and Emma. |
 |
First
meal! |
 |
Me,
on the phone with either my mom or my dad. I was
very tired. |
 |
Emma,
once they brought her to our room from the
nursery. She's bathed and bundled up. |
 |
Me,
in the recovery room, after a shower and a nap. |
 |
John,
being silly. =) |
 |
So
much hair! |
 |
Sleepy
baby. |
 |
Punk
rock mohawk baby! |
 |
Mom
and dad's first diaper change efforts. Luckily,
we have gotten better. |
 |
John
and Emma, on the bed that he slept on in this
room. |
 |
Big
baby yawn! |
 |
Happy
mom. |
 |
Sleepy
baby... |
 |
...and
more sleepy baby. |
 |
A
really good picture of John and Emma. |
 |
Sleepy
mom and baby. |
 |
She
does a lot of sleeping. |
 |
Zzzzzzzzz.... |
 |
Little
baby hand. |
 |
Little
baby hand holding dad's finger. |
 |
Ooh.
"I'm waking up, and I'm angry about that!" |
 |
Cutest.
Baby. Ever. |
 |
Oh
no, more angry baby! |
 |
The
amazing blanket eating baby! |
 |
Getting
dressed to go home from the hospital. |
 |
Mom
buttoning up the outfit for the second time. I
did it wrong the first time. |
 |
Trying
to put on the socks that were way too big for her
feet anyhow. |
 |
And,
we gave up on the socks. |
 |
She
swam in this outfit. |
 |
And
still more sleepy baby... |
 |
All
dressed! |
 |
Super
cute! |
 |
Raaaar!
I don't know what made her mad here, but she was
very angry. |
 |
And,
ready to go! We put the socks back on eventually
anyhow. |
