More Pictures.

I wanted to get some more pictures out. We have been very busy with the "adjustment" of our schedules. I have been able to get some pictures in here and there. Stacy is still recovering from the past couple of days. She is coming around though. Soon she will be sipping back Cosmos and feeling normal again. Here are some pictures of the past couple of days (sort of backwards, still getting used to this blog site).


Finally Leaving

At peace, peace that is few and far between....

Stacy, Elliott and my grandmother (now a great-grandmother)


An hour or so after surgery.



I wanted to get some more pictures up. I have had a little free time here and there to take pictures of the little one. Stacy is still recovering from the past couple of days. She is coming around. Soon she will be herself again. She is looking forward to a cosmo. Well here are some more pictures of the past couple of days.

Clarification...

I was wrong. After talking with Stacy, I realized that I spelled Elliott's name wrong. Two 'T's instead of one.

What a Day!



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....
