She's Here!

Say Hello to Cami Mckell Egbert! She was 7 lbs and 19 inches long. Liz's labor only lasted 8 1/2 hours which is pretty amazing for a first child. She went from 4 cm dilated to 10 cm in 3 hours and only had to push for an hour. Her contractions started at 6 pm, we went to the hospital at 10pm, and had the baby at 2:34 am.

Turns out the umbilical cord was wrapped around Cami's neck so when Liz would have contractions Cami's heart rate would drop quite low so they had Liz sucking oxygen most of the time. Luckily the delivery was really quick so we didn't have to do a c-section

Here she is getting cleaned up right after birth

When I first read the weight I thought it was 7 lbs 4 onces but its really 7 lbs .04 ounces. Who made this weight display?

Here is my illustrious bed. Its about as comfortable has you would expect a hospital chair to be

This was in our room from Liz's coworkers at the nicu. It was a baby cake made from diapers and other things. Thanks everyone, it was very thoughtful

Nicole with Cami. Nicole always points out that Jenna has the same smile in all of her pictures (as seen above) but what made me laugh really hard is if you look at Jenna's smile and Nicole's smile they are pretty identical.

Scott and Wendy came to visit with Ainsley and brought some delicious cookies. Cami and Ainsley are going to be fast friends

Here are the proud mothers. Ainsley's awesome pink sticker on her shirt is so people in the hospital don't think Scott and Wendy are running out with a child from the pediatric unit.

Here are the proud papas. I know I look tense but I'm really loving being a dad.
