Iowa family comes for a visit

Mommy's little snuggle-butt

This is one of his favorite ways to be held so far, and it's one that I definitely enjoy as well!

Pictures in the hospital

Thanks so much to Chris and my mom for all of their help with my labor and delivery. They did such a great job of helping me keep focused on the task at hand which gave me the birth experience I hoped for.

Minutes old!

Here is mom with baby shortly after his birth. We are definitely checking each other out!

What an amazing experience. While it was considered a "long labor" (12 hours) and he was born very big (9lbs 12oz), time passed quickly and labor was completely uneventful in the best possible way. I accredit our HypnoBirthing experience to the ease of his delivery and the reason we were able to go home only 24 hours after his delivery.

Here is Michael at home for the first time with his grandparents. He's sporting his little James Bond outfit - a tuxedo onesie! Doesn't he look great in black?!?
