Well, that labor was MUCH different from Amelia's. As a matter of fact, so was my pregnancy and after labor.
More details on the labor later but for now...some PICTURES!!
Right after Max joined us at 721pm last night. Showin off his muscles!
Papa Jim and Cookie were in the waiting room while Max arrived. You and Kiki headed over around 730pm. As you were coming down the hall, I could hear you saying "I gotta find my Mommy and Daddy" just hearing your voice brought me to tears.
Cookie has much better pictures but here is my favorite so far.
You weren't sure what to think at first but warmed up after a few minutes.
Glamma, Cookie, Yaya, Kiki and Papa Jim left at about 845pm. Max received his first bath, so did I. We switched rooms and we were on our own!
Max was a good sleeper - he ate at about midnight, 245a and then waited until 615a. His temperature has been a tiny low so he is currently down in the nursery being warmed under the light. He has also been spitting up a little amniotic fluid. The nurse said this is because of his fast delivery (GO ME! 21 minutes to be exact,) he didn't have a chance for the amniotic fluid to be squeezed out of him so he still has some in his lungs. Nothing to be concerned about.
We are thinkin' the little man will have some visitors today - we are looking forward for Max to meet the people who are special to us!! Show him off of bit.
Love,
Mom
Thanks so much for the pictures! I woke up just hoping to find some on here. How adorable is he and how in LOVE are you all?!? And he and Amelia are fast friends? Can't wait to hear more about that. Way to go Courtney, what a delivery! If I can get over there today I will, otherwise tomorrow am, before you go home. So excited for all the Dirks/Stevens/Grade/Colehours! What an adorable family of FOUR! ~Katie Elden
