Here is me in our labor and delivery room after I got an epidural (notice I am smiling, I wasn't smiling before I got an epidural)
She finally arrived! After 17 hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing (which seemed like 15 mins) our sweet Esther was born. She weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Today (2 and a half weeks later) she weighs 7 lbs. 7 oz and is 21 inches long.
Me and little Esther enjoying our first moments together. :)
Well as most of you know Esther had jaundice pretty bad and we had to stay in the hospital an extra day so she could be put under the bili lamp which helps babies to get rid of their jaundice. This is her under the bili lamp getting her first sun tan. :) They attached little pieces of velcro in the shape of hearts to the sides of her head and then from that they put a soft covering over her eyes to protect them from the UV lights. The covering over her eyes made her have kind of a yellow racoon look to her face around her eyes after she was done being under the bili lamp. :)
Sweet little Esther taking a nap.
Here Esther is getting a mid morning snack, yummy colostrum! Isn't she so cute! Of course we think so. :)
