And three days old. In the car and ready to go to the pediatrician for the first time. Because he had jaundice and was under the lights in the hospital the wanted us to go in and get tested to make sure he was getting better.
He doesn't seem to love the car, but he also doesn't hate it.
At the doctor.
And finally at home again.
Six days old.
About 7 hours after checking in we had our baby. And it's a BOY!
He came into this world screaming at 11:36 pm, on Sunday, January 3, 2010. 7 lbs 1 1/2 oz, 20.1 inches long.
Here I am exhausted after 19 hours of labor with Gage Moses. And our doctor in the background.
He's already doing the one eye open thingy.
And our first official family of three picture. It's a great one.
Jeff did really well the whole time. He even watched it all, which was more than I wanted to see.
After getting cleaned up. He
He's got a lot of hair, which is what everyone comments on when they see him for the first time.
After exactly 2 days in the hospital and some time spent under bilirubin lights we were finally allowed to go home. Here's Gage all dressed and ready to go.
We were all exhausted and ready to go. I think I had about 5 hours of sleep total in the two days (and nights) that we were there. Jeff got a little more but only because he could sleep in through the nurses coming in to check on me and the baby.
Finally home and comfy with our own blankets.
It is soo nice being home. We still get no sleep and for someone who needs a lot of sleep I am doing pretty good. It was fun not knowing the gender until he came out, but it was hard to start referring to Gage as a him. We still referred to him as it or 'the baby' for quite awhile.
It ended up being the last pictures I took while pregnant. This was Friday, gave birth on Sunday.
We decided to spend Christmas here in Mesa, and this was about the extent of our decorations. I wanted the rest of them, but we have no where to store anything. It is a good thing the top of the tree is cut off because we left the star in Utah. So nothing to put on the top. We made due with a snowflake ornament!
Christmas eve...38 Weeks pregnant. Hard to believe this picture is taken the same night as the next.
Don't really know why I am putting this one on here, but I look HUGE. We had Christmas Eve dinner with the missionaries and some friends. It was a great meal.
Our Christmas stockings. Santa actually showed up before we went to bed. Thanks to Mindy, who reminded us that Santa now our responsibility. Otherwise Santa would not have come at all.
It was FREEZING! With winds of up to 55 mph right into our faces. Add in a little sand and trash to that wind and it was kind of miserable.
Most of the game was played on our side of the stadium because of the wind blowing the ball that direction every play. Oregon St. had two six yard punts which was great so that everyone could tell it was as windy as it was.
After BYU won 44-20, we rushed the field. And here is the picture to prove it to everyone who didn't believe us. Although if there hadn't been stairs down to the field I don't think I would have. Most people left the game early to watch the game in the comfort of their hotel rooms, but we stuck it out. Luckily I could still fit into my winter coat with a sweater on. And just in case you can't tell, Jeff really does have quite a few layers on.
The final score and every single fan left at the end of the game.
It was fun but it unfortunately did not send me into labor. I was kind of hoping. Oh yeah, we drove through snow about an hour outside of Phoenix on our way up there. And alot of extra traffic. Good thing we left early so that we didn't miss one minute of the game.
