I Miss Her!

The Happenings!

6am Cathy checks into the hospital. Her great nurses that explain everything and take good care of her!
Here's Ed waiting to be told to get his scrubs on -
Scott using his time wisely by playing with his new IPhone -
It's getting close to time (about 7:00am)

Ed waits patiently as they have taken Cathy to the operating room. He'll join her when they give him a call.

And at 7:55 am, Aurora came into our lives. Just look at that hair! And curly!
Proud dad - he keeps on saying, "She's just so cute!"


Mommy - so natural at it.
And then there are three.

Yes...grampa got in on the fun, as well!
Her eyes are a deep blue.
This evening, I got to spend lots of time holding her. Hard to believe she is only 12 hours old at this time!

And so little little! Beautiful little Aurora. Thank you for coming into our lives.
Now I know what SPECIAL really feels like!

Here she is!

Aurora Abigail born @ 7:55am 2/22/11, 6 lbs 1 1/2 oz, 18 inches, healthy as can be and a hint of red hair!
More pics later!

In Preparation for Aurora Abigail

I love the way Cathy has the changing table set up! I'm sure glad we were able to give it to them for Christmas!
Notice the little hippo in the corner. Ed has been practicing his diaper-changing skills.
Ed doing some last minute shopping for his daughter. I just thought it was so cute how he was pushing Winnie around in the cart! :o)
Here's the mobile I got for her. It plays Brahm's Lullaby.
And look at the mother to be! Sweet Cathy is READY!
