February

Be prepared for a lot of pictures to update you on what we've been up to.

In February we became a family of 4!  Elizabeth was born February 22nd.


Getting ready to go to the hospital. Wow, I look huge!



Waiting for the pit to get things going.  We were at the hospital for a couple of hours when I needed to go to the bathroom.  While Sam was helping me with the cords he noticed a puddle on the floor.  The pitocin hadn't been hooked up to my IV!  Finally, after it was connected things got going, in the meantime we were grateful the hospital had satellite.


She's here!  Born around 7:40 pm, Elizabeth weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and was 19 inches long with lots of dark hair.


A very proud Daddy!


A very proud, but tired Mommy.  If you look closely you can see red sploches all over my face, a bunch of the blood vessels in my face broke from pushing so hard.  It looked like I had red freckles for several days.


My mom stayed with Ethan and spoiled him while I was in the hospital.  It was hard to be away from him but I was glad he was with someone I trusted.  Ethan wasn't quite sure how he felt about Elizabeth at first until Sam got him to help check her for toe-jam.
