Joel's Arrival!


There are too many pictures to put here, so I've posted them in picasa. Click here!
I was scheduled to be induced at 7am Tuesday morning. It was a busy day at the hospital as we walked in with a crowd of about 7 other couples doing the same thing. The whole day went wonderfully!
Our sweet nurse, Jennifer, was a caring veteran of the sport--- having helped families in the delivery room for 32 years! We got to talk about her work and how her desire is to help women who have miscarriages and still births. I am sure she will be a huge blessing to many as the Lord uses her in that area.
At noon the anesthesiologist administered the epidural and Scott almost passed out and I almost threw up : ) He was helping me breathe a little too much!
I took a little nap, our doctor comes back, VIOLA! Prayers are answered and Joel is born healthy and we are so happy. The nurses all said "He is so cute! Look at those lashes!"
