Pictures from the hospital

Here are some more pictures from the hospital.

This is when we arrived. I was tired (it was 5:30 in the morning) and having contractions...which should explain my efforts at smiling.

This is when we finally were admitted. I was SO relieved to be staying and excited that it was finally happening.

Here is Shawn right after birth. He was so alert, the nurses were just amazed.

Here we are in the recovery room. I was so numb from the pain medication, they wouldn't let me hold the baby unless I was supervised! :) Bryan was so overwhelmed with emotions. He is such a great Dad already!
Here are some of our great nurses. This was taken in my room after I was allowed to be moved. My family thinks this picture is hilarious because I am so drugged I looked like I am high! :)

Here I am admiring my new little one when I was finally able to look him over. WOW, he is amazing. God is awesome!!

Visit from Nanna and Papa, and Aunt Cherie

We were so blessed to get a visit from Bryan's parents and sister the night Shawn was born (good planning Nanna!!). We had such a great time with them and were very blessed by all of their help. Kathy and Cherie cooked and cleaned, and even bought Shawn some clothes that fit him!! Thanks for everything! :)

Bryan had a great time taking Gordon and Cherie (and my Dad) into the Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park. Bryan was so excited to show them the beauty of Colorado.

We were all so sad to see them leave. But we eagerly await their next trip to Colorado. Here we all are at the airport.

My first bath at home

Here is my Mom getting me ready for my first bath at home. I was not quite sure about getting rubbed down. But I was very brave and did not even cry.
