Teddy's birth story of photos (part two)



We arrived to the hospital at 2:00 AM after having contractions get to every 3:30 minutes
I was dilated to 4 cm - wahoo!








My cute duck thermometer

Love this photo
Jonno helped me through my contractions
-Out for a walk in the hallway trying to get this baby moving!
Walked to visit my in laws Bob and Susie who were in the waiting area
Eventually I dilated up to 7 cm and Betsy, my midwife, said we'd better in the tub to prepare for the baby to come!
Jonno joined me for our swimming party




After about 15 hours of labor, I made it to the final stretch and our little Teddy finally arrived:

First Family Photo

Teddy's feet were at least a big toe longer than all the other new babies on the floor
(They put these little papers outside your door after your baby was born and played a harp song)

Grandma Lisa and Teddy

This blue blanket was made by hand by my co-worker Irma.
It is so soft and beautiful!



Haha
So grumpy!

So excited to finally get to eat!!!!

I love seeing them together!

Taking a nap - we were so exhausted!

Nap, feed Teddy, pee, repeat.











First time changing his diaper
Oh.. My.. WOW.  I've never seen so much!

Wrinkly back of his head

Big yawn!!
