Being 2,530 miles from family, being married to a nuclear engineer with CRAZY work hours, having a 4 year old, a 2 year old, a 5 month old AND having a 2 year old boxer mutt is not always easy, but it's the life the Lord has blessed me with - and it's WAY better than I imagined my life could ever be!

Goodbye Hospital!
No offense to the hospital or staff, but after 24 hours, I was feeling like an inmate, so I relentlessly pestered the nurses and Dr. B and we were able to leave after checking in 33 hours earlier. Ah, freedom!

Welcome to the Family
Later that afternoon, Andy and Olive Oyle brought the Big Brothers to meet Aaron. They were more concerned about me being in the hospital and not coming home than they were about their baby brother; however they both found the tiny size of Aaron's feet fascinating.
Where's Ashton in this pic, you ask? He's behind me, pushing all the buttons on the hospital bed, including paging the nurses' station ... 3 times!
Siesta Time!
Daddy and Baby Aaron were tuckered out by mid-morning. They began their male bonding early!
We Weren't at the Hospital Long...
Dr. B was surprised to find me already 8 cm dilated, so I yelled for the anesthesiologist. Mom showed up, I was administered a spinal narcotic, I was in pain-free labor, and Aaron Ely was born within the hour after just 3 or 4 pushes. 7 pounds on the dot, he started eating right away ... and hasn't stopped since!
