The Stork Has Landed

Just after midnight on September 21st, in the deserted elevator lobby at Methodist Hospital.  (Incidentally, the same hospital where Dan was born a long time ago)

9:15 am:  Early labor, still feeling good, for now...

Close to noon: Pitocin drip started at 11 am, contractions now rapidly escalating, and decidedly less pleasant.


5 pm: After several hours of intense contractions, followed by an epidural, excited to finally start pushing.

It's a girl!  Baby Mina Khare Litwiller.  6 pounds even, 19 inches long.

New momma. Happy and a little delirious.

Baby burrito in the baby warmer.

New Dad ogling his new baby girl

Dad's new tattoos

Makin' phonecalls.

Proud new Mom with a couple of her awesome nurse helpers.

All moved into our post-partum room.



September 22nd:  A few poopy diapers later, Baby Mina enjoying (i.e. loudly protesting) her first bath.
