Before the excitement began. I see that my epidural was in at that point (the little blue box to my right) so I was feeling no pain.
Our little monkey girl, all sticky and grubby.
When they first handed her to me, I remember how warm and sticky she felt. It was an odd moment, but beautiful none the less.
I wasn't feeling so hot at this point. I lost a lot of blood during delivery--you can probably tell how pasty white my face looks. Shortly after, I handed the baby off and asked for juice!
This was early the next morning, when we finally got into our hospital room and they brought the baby in, after she'd spent the night in the nursery.
