Does anyone think I look happy in this picture? Aaron was not so happy either. I am in labor with Noelle and was incredibly miserable. No one was having a good time.
Aaron tried to be nice to me, but really he snickered a lot because he thought all my little comments like, "Man! This is for the birds!" were just so funny.
This is cousin Marin bringing me ice chips at the end of my labor. Why on earth did we not think of that sooner? They were pretty good! 
This is Dr. Cooper. He delivered my cousin, Brian, 25 years ago. I hope he lives long enough to deliver all my babies. I love him. Have you ever had a doctor that hugs you and kisses the top of your head? I do! Then in the next sentence he uses the F-word. He is old and sweet and cranky and never gets enough sleep. It's so fun!
This was the end result. It kind of makes me choke up. She was so preciously sweet and I could not believe she was mine. I would do anything to be back in that moment. That soft brand new baby skin is like nothing else. I first time I saw her was beyond words.
Why am I posting all of this stuff? In about 6 months we will be going through all these shenanigans again! Woo-Hoo! We are beyond excited that we are having another baby.
Yes, to all of you who want to know. I plan on having another natural childbirth without pain medication.
