Last belly shot before Ked was born. Not sure exactly what we were doing here, but this was Sunday evening (birth was early Tues. morning), when I'd been having painful contractions all day and Sam had been applying "counter pressure" (pushing on my lower back) to ease some of the pain. It really helped, except that by Monday in the hospital, my back surface was too tender to take it anymore.
The conehead.
Leaving the hospital. So tiny in his carseat! It took Mom and I awhile to figure out how to adjust it small enough.
Great doctors and nurses (and food), but I was sure glad to get us home!
I remember telling Monica (my sister-in-law) several years ago that after having so many nieces and nephews, I was afraid the novelty of newborns had worn off. I preferred the ones a little older and didn't really care to hold newborns. She told me it would be different with my own. She was right. I can hold and stare at this kid for hours, thoroughly enjoying every moment. Especially when he's this peaceful. . .
I'd been feeding Ked under a sheet. It wasn't until after I burped him and removed the sheet that I saw what position he fell asleep in. Poor kid.

THe novelty of newborn nephews hasn't worn off for me! I wish I was there to hold him? Hmmmm... maybe grad school in Virginia? lol
You look unrealistically amazing with your "last belly shot." I'd be lucky to look that good a couple months away from the end. Oh well, I'll stick with blessed for just the chance to have another.
After looking at that picture of you carrying Ked in the carseat, I've figured it out... you really just had a basketball in there the whole time and that is why you look like a toothpick, right?
