Inside shot of the maternity wing of the hospital.
I'm happy and brave!
I'm a liar. And check out my cankles!
Wondering what the flip they're going to do to me.
Posting to the blog.

Stephen & Bob
Mom makes everything better.
Epidurals are wonderful - I spent a large chunk of the time napping.
Excited!
Stephen blogging.
Napping again, with my beloved vomit basin.
Bob's excitement tuckered him out.

Oh yeah, this'll be a CINCH!
Stephen consoling me...
Angie consoling me...
Ella consoling me...I'm such a BABY!
Marmie feels Baby Neener planning his escape.
Who knew labor - even with an epidural - would be so exhausting!
Baby Neener! Finally!
So darn sweet!
Ah, we meet at last...
Poor Stephen was THIS CLOSE to passing out after the birth.

PaPa bonding time.
Daddy's finally up off the bathroom floor.
Waiting for my double cheeseburger from Wendy's. I hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours.
Steve's not proud. Not one bit!

Time to go home!
We stayed at the hospital as late as we could...a little scared to go home and fully take on parenting, perhaps?!
