Opal Mae Browning was born on 1/11/11 at 9:07 pm at 6lbs 14oz and 18".
This is Danielle the L&D nurse that helped deliver. She was great.
I'll get to this story later, but Opal had to go to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for the first 24 hours for some breathing difficulty.
Liesel our Doula and good friend who helped us through the whole thing.
Wow, no pretty post birth picture here. I was TIRED! What a workout! I felt how I looked. Poor Opal's purple hands. They kept on reassuring me they were normal.
I got to hold her for a bit before they took her away to listen to her lungs and do her apgars.
Her she is in the NICU all wired up. Really sad. Like I said I'll give more of the story later when I have more time.
Jon changing Opal's diaper for the first time.
What a cute dad and daughter!
The flat tire we got on the way to the hospital.
Exhausted!
Home snuggled up.
Opal loves to be swaddled TIGHT! We learned that one quickly.
Obviously these are out of order, but this is her coming home from the hospital picture.
Hope that will tide everybody over for a bit, until I have time to do a real post.
