8 days overdue, still pretty comfortable, but tired of waiting for this little girl to make her appearance.
Induction process began at 7 pm, then we went home to wait for labor to kick in. Decided to head back in to the maternity ward at 4:30 am, and it took 20 minutes to wake Ben up. We get there a bit after 5 am. Only 2 cm with a lot of contractions, so I order drugs to help me sleep. Epidural at 9:30, break the water at 10 am, and Evelyn arrives at 2:33 after 30 minutes of pushing.
7 lbs, 9 oz., 20" long. She was the baby who cried and fussed in a lot of her first pictures, but she also scored highest on the Apgar scale.
Not enjoying bath time.
Happier when it was all over and she was wrapped up.
The Lanengas came to visit.
So did the Gurneys.
Dad looking at his baby and her giant binky. When we arrived home from the hospital, it was 85 degrees in our apartment, and hotter outside. It prompted a trip to Lowe's where we bought our first A/C unit.
Grandpa and Grandma Gibbons came to visit for a few days.
Evelyn at about one week.

First real bath in the kitchen sink, Evelyn was much happier this time around.
Evelyn at two weeks, sleeping in with Mom. Until at least 10 am most mornings.
