Friday night (May 9th) before my scheduled induction we had a nice family prayer and Rich gave me a blessing. Then we took some crazy pix with my four kiddos.

| At 8am Saturday morning (May 10th), we headed in to have our baby. |
 |
Our friends and fellow ward members The Klings were there with their 3-day-old tiny,
Callen. He was only 4lbs 9 ounces (ish). We visited as I walked the halls. I pretty
much walked all day, with a break to sit and watch edited-for-TV
"Bridesmaids" on USA network (ha!). I was still up and around
20 minutes before baby came! |
 |
| Ammon came out squeaking and purplish...I was a little concerned... |
 |
| ...but we rubbed him and got some cried out of him and he pinked up |
 |
Holding my baby for the first time is a feeling I wish I could have a million times.
It never stops being so magical, and it's the greatest relief and joy you can ever experience in life!!! |
 |
| sweet little squishy |
 |
| We had nearly an hour to just gaze at one another...I love those curious little newborn eyes! |
 |
| SO HAPPY! |
 |
You can see Ammon's skinned-up face...I pushed him out so quick, he took that last corner
a little too fast and skinned his nose and bruised his forehead. It was gone the next day, though. |
 |
Twinners!
They even weighed the same! |
 |
| excited Big Brother! |
 |
| Sibling Love! |
 |
| Auntie Love! |
 |
Aunt Laura had her son Gabriel 20 years earlier, this same day!
(Yes, Ammon was born on Gabe's 20th Birthday) |
 |
| Ammon finally REALLY cried when he had to get weighed, at about 45 minutes old. |
 |
| sweet face |
 |
| Big Sis Heidi |
 |
| Addie, Niles, and Ammon |
 |
| Happy to be meeting |
 |
| My Three Sons |
 |

 |
| James is so good with Ammon |
 |

 |
| Carrie and Callen came to visit when Ammon was about 30 minutes old |
 |
| Aunt Laura showing off toes...Ammon was so big next to Callen! |
 |
A moment of peace when the kids went home, before the nurses came
and got me showered and moved to recovery |
 |
| getting to know one another |
 |
| sweet baby snuggles |
 |
After his bath and my shower, settling in for a hard day's night.
We both worked hard all day and were so happy to rest together. |
