Here we all are the night before the delivery.
|
They admitted Teri for high bloodpressure the night before.
|
Jim and Sara came by and visited for quite a while.
|
Teri did her makeup after we got news that they were going to go ahead with the birth...
|
"There you are Teri!"
|
"Here's Daniel!"
|
This is the "before" shot. :)
|
Sara worries over her little girl...
|
Kayla wants her moment in the lime light.. :)
|
Hey Velma...
|
Jim: "What am I supposed to do with this?"
Joe: "Tell him to give me my bottle!" |
I'm a bit nervous about the "C-section"...
|
Teri's all drugged up and as cool as a cucumber.
|
"Smile!"
|
Oh my.. I'm going to sit back down on the safe side of the blue wall now..
|
Wow... They're pulling him right out of her belly!
|
It's definitely a boy!
|
Cleaning him up...
|
Wow.. all wet, icky and purplish-gray...
|
They let me watch them clean him up...
|
We had to jostle him a bit to get him breathing and to turn from purple to pink...
|
There's his color...
|
Daniel's still a bit unhappy with the whole ordeal...
|
Starting to calm down a bit now...
|
Teri says that Daniel has my furrowed brow.
|
Time for the prints..
|
|
There we go!
|
Hi mommy!
|
A very special moment...
|
"Puuuuttt meeeee baaaaackkk!" :)
|
-smooch-
|
|
The eyes truly are the windows to the soul.
|
Post-op... and time for the introductions...
|
|
Proud daddy...
|
Thanks Dr. Lovell! (our fertility Dr for the previous 5 years)
|
Although in the end.. God was the Dr. in charge.. :)
|
Reporting Nurse documenting Daniel's stats.
|
"Who are you?"
|
|
Daniel and mommy, together at last...
|
The antibiotic jelly is still in his eyes.
|
|
Together at last...
|
Hey Grandma...
|
His blood sugar was a little low and Teri's milk had not come in yet...
|
All charted up and ready for the nursery so mommy can rest.
|
7 pounds 12 ounces
|
20 & 1/4 inches... perfect.. :)
|
Kayla really really wanted to hold Daniel... But Ms. Melissa said "later honey".
|
Hey Daniel!
|
One more hold...
|
Next day.. and mommy's up and about...
|
and they're taking some new-baby pictures...
|
There he is...
|
Wow.. he's still really be hungry!
