Angry Bat

So, this is one of my favorite pictures of our little one when she is brand new. She looks thoroughly perturbed at being removed from her warm space. She tumbled into this world at 1:40am on July 2nd, 2009. After what can only be described as a textbook labor, her delivery was less than routine. 15 minutes of panic, an extra boost of the epidural and a strange sensation of not being able to feel myself breathe our little lady arrived, looking perfect and sweet. She is amazing.

The hospital stay was unremarkable. A little bout of jaundice brought some concern and an irrational response from me but other than that we went home as a new family on Sunday the 5th. We did spend a great 4th of July looking out of our hospital window, watching the firework displays from lakeville, farmington and burnsville. What a great way to celebrate despite being in the hospital. Take out, desert and our new little sparkler.
