Jack's big arrival!!

11-10-10--Jack's birthday. :)  So the day wasn't very dramatic...my water didn't break and I wasn't rushed to the hospital. Big deal. It was almost better (for Gabe and I) that I had a scheduled c section. We showed up to the hospital at 1:30 for check in, sat in the room until about 4, and then I was wheeled off to surgery. Jack was born at 4:34 pm. Easy as that! The c section was a really crazy experience. Of course I couldn't feel anything but Gabe was watching the mirror and giving me play by play. The recovery wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I am still pretty sore now, but I am getting better each day. Now that we are home it is hard to sit around and not do anything. I need to remember to take it easy so I don't delay my recovery.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to the hospital either on the day Jack was born or on one of the days that followed. It was great to come out of the recovery room and see a hallway full of people. Even the people who had to leave early I saw during my Face Time conversation with Kelsey (thank you Iphone.) :)
Here are some pictures from our stay at the hospital. Most of these pictures are courtesy of Cari Bauer (my official photographer) and from my camera. If you have any good pictures please pass them along to me!










Home sweet home!
