Baby Daze
Hi, it's Julia's mom again (aka Grammy!). Julia realizes its been "daze" since the last post....but the title says it all! I offered to fill in again. Lots of new pictures posted below....a short chronicle of the last 5 days. What a wonderful time in all of our lives. Eli came home on Sunday. He is a healthy, happy, precious little boy. We are mesmerized by him. We study his facial expressions, marvel over his perfect hands, fingers, feet and toes, and kiss his soft little head as much as possible! Enjoy the pictures!
Hello Tank and Trolley!
Tank: "Is it a new toy? Does it have a squeaker? Does it roll? Can I play with it? Please? Please?"
Trolley: "Is it a new puppy? Does it need me? Can I help? Please? Please?"

It's me again. I have returned.
We are spending our second night in the hospital (thank goodness, I hate hospitals!), getting ready to go home. It will be so much fun to see how the dogs react to Eli tomorrow, and of course how Eli reacts to them! I'm sure there will be a whole slew of pictures for you all.
The three of us are doing fine, although momma and papa are sleep deprived, but still loving their son! Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
Will post again soon...

And now...
the real work begins! Eli is poised and ready, the doctor is there......just a matter of super human effort now! The next post should have a picture of the little guy and will be entitled YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!
"Epidural Nap"
Julia is currently taking a well deserved "epidural nap".....she is at 9 cm.....the doctor will be back in an hour (she has to go do a C-section !).......expect the last phase to begin then! Julia has been a champ.....in great pain and worrying about Jason.....and thinking about the dogs.....it is such a relief to now see her relaxed....thank heavens for the epidural! Will keep you posted.....
Whew.....
Julia is working hard now....and making progress....the doctor was in.....all looks good still....but labor is called labor for good reason. Send her good thoughts!
