It seemed scary to be taking out our little baby only 2 days old, but we had to go for our visit to the pediatrician for her to check his weight and make sure he was looking healthy, which of course he was. Nolan doesn’t look too happy about his time in the car seat- sorry baby boy but we gotta keep you safe!

You can just take a look at Ben’s face and see that both him and I have been through the wringer with this birth- while I won’t state for the record that I labored for a total of 106 hours….I labored for 106 hours– in my mind this is true because from the start to finish of this period I was experiencing contractions, escalating pain, hardly slept, hardly ate, hardly drank, and finally, finallllly gave birth to our beee-ute-iful baby boy, Nolan, the traditional way, except for a little help from an epidural and pitocin.

These few precious days where Ben has not had to be at work are truly a treasure- he has been able to be so involved with his new son and they’ve been taking a number of naps together.
