Taylor and I are so happy that Imogen was born, safe and sound, on Monday, Oct. 25, 2010 -- 6:28am. Her labor and birth were quick (9 1/2 hours... which was so doable) and beautiful. Taylor was amazing and such a strength for me. We labored at home for several hours. Our doula and her apprentice came over around 2am. We arrived at the hospital at 5am... and Immy was here 1 1/2 hours later!
She was 8 pounds (as you can see from the photo above) and 20"...and amazingly beautiful.
Imogen's Daddy is smitten with his girl... and watching those two together is one of the happiest things I've ever done.
We stayed at the hospital until Wednesday mid-morning. We had a good hospital stay... but we were ready to take our little family home.

We've been having so much fun being home and comfy. I'll try to keep this blog updated so I'll write more later. I have a sleeping baby taking up most of my lap... and the laptop is kind of hanging off the couch. :-) It's nearly 8pm...and T's taking a nap (I had a 2 hr. one a bit ago) preparing for nighttime. :-) Taylor has been the most incredible guy ever... there's no way I could have done any of this without him!
Praising God for my blessings! Love to you all.
Thanks for posting. I love seeing all the pictures. I'm so glad you had a short labor!
ReplyDeleteKelly and I just looked at the pictures. She said, "That kid has a lot of relatives...nonny and boppy, and poppy..." She was guessing at the names. :) She also liked Immy's room.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
You two seem like relaxed parents with your first baby. Some new parents would never let everyone hold the baby and "breathe" on the baby. LOL My husband was a little too cautious, but I calmed him down. :)
