Flashback: Weston's First Moments

So, we're doing well! After two long, frustrating, sleepless nights on the first two nights, we actually had a decent night last night, thanks to "Happiest Baby on the Block" (thank you Laura!!). Weston managed a three-hour block of sleep at one point! So, I'm feeling a little more refreshed today, and I decided to update our blog with photos from the past several days.

This was the "leaving for the hospital" picture. I have NO idea how I managed a smile and thumbs-up, because I was in the midst of some pretty severe contractions (about two minutes apart, and about 60-90 seconds long). After this photo, as Tim and I were leaving the house, we had to stop along the walkway to the car for another big contraction, and I held onto him and tried to sway and endure. The contractions continued on the way to the hospital, and I felt EVERY SINGLE TINY BUMP on the road. :-)
YAY EPIDURAL!! This is a much happier picture, because I'd just gotten my epidural. Wow - I became a different person.
Tim kickin' it in the Dad Chair.
Playing Nintendo DS to pass the time.
Newborn Weston!!!
Our second meeting (after he was placed on my chest initially).

Me and baby and the doc. (Not my regular doctor, incidentally, but I loved him.)
Hooray! We're a family!
