It is 948pm on a Thursday. We are sitting in the mother/baby room experiencing our new addition to the farm. It was an amazing day(s). I will give the cliff note version of the past 26 Hrs. Everything started last night at 7pm. We went into Sparrow to see if an inducement would get things going. And boy did they! The short of it was at 800pm we were at a 1. After some treatment and time (like 4am) we were at a 4 and things were booming. Booming to the point that and hour and a half later we were at a 6! I cannot say how much pain there exactly was, but I could tell that Stacy was not digging this whole thing. We finally got into the labor room and things were still going. Stacy received more treatment and the waiting game was on.
I will let Stacy take it from there (when she gets back to feeling normal). But, at 125pm on Thursday the 3rd of July we introduced Elliot Jo Lynn Byers to the world. Let me say a pretty intense day! Whipped everyone's ass. She came in at 7.1 ounces and 21 and a half inches (with a pretty crooked head).
The main purpose of this post is that I wanted to get some of the pictures posted.
Right after she was born.
Some eye drops...
And the crooked head....

She is absolutely precious - and I will boast that she is beautiful and looks like her daddy did when he was born. (except for her beautiful red hair)
