Aunt and Uncles and friends

It was so wonderful to have all of our family here for the birth. Even though we were in the hospital for three days and would have preferred to be home sooner, it was great to have your support and I looked forward to your frequent visits. It was a great welcome for Davis to how we do things in this family- Big and Loud!

And thanks to all the great friends who came to visit- Tim's GCRC and Lab folks, friends from church (including a special prayer time with Pastor Dan), Jay and Audrey, John and Jill, Cindy, my baby recovery coach Nick (running bud), and my new mommy friends, Elaine (who had her baby last week), Amanda (who had her baby in December) and Prov (who will have her baby in July), Rose (Rob's girlfriend who we love), Amir (our Pediatrician research friend ) and other friends. I was nervous about staying in the hospital, but with everyone coming by, it made it feel less like a hospital and more like an extended party. I know that some people want some rest after having a baby, but everyone who knows me knows that I'd rather party! Since we got home, mom has made sure that Tim and I both have gotten some rest so we will be refreshed for more visitors and more exciting firsts with Davis.

More photos......

Uncle Chase- On a crude note, Davis had his first big explosion while Chase was holding him. Chase was so proud.

Aunt Kathy- check out the super cute polka dot swaddling blanket from Emily- thanks! A close-up photo of Aunt Kathy was in the previous posting.

Audrey and Jay- and a note on photo taking from me. People on pain meds SHOULD NOT be taking the pictures. I didn't even get Davis's face in this one, and you can totally tell that I'm taking the photo from the hospital bed. Which reminds me, people who are coming off of anesthesia SHOULD NOT be emailing. Its kind if like drunk dialing- always a bad idea. I was on that laptop just hours after the birth trying to get the email anouncement out. I just wan't convinced that anyone else could get it done. Obviously, since almost no one got the anouncement, I couldn't get it done either. Oh well, I think I finally go the news out to everyone. Sorry for the wait.
