22 August 2012 – EMBER HAS ARRIVED!!!

As everyone here probably knows, I found out in January that Cindy and I were awaiting a bundle of joy sometime in August.

My daughter, Ember Celee Wood, finally arrived at 0814 hours on 22 August 2012

22 August 2012 – Ember when she was just a few minutes old

We knew Ember would be a bit on the big side, so the doctor decided to do a C-Section to minimize chances of injury to her & her mom.

Ember was 9 lb 11.5 oz and 21.5 inches when she was born.  So CUTE

22 August 2012 – Ember & Cindy the day after

Cindy had a bit of a reaction to the anesthetic in the spinal block used during the C-Section, so it took her a little while to get out of recovery.  This pic was taken the day after the big event as Cindy was feeling a bit better   Cindy says she looks like crud in this one, but I think she looks pretty good

We’re all doing well now except for the sleepless nights.  I’ve got a steady job (more on that later) so she’s been letting me sleep, but I still love holding my daughter, feeding her when we have to use a bottle, and I don’t mind changing her diapers, either

That’s all for now, but I’ll post again soon!  Have a great day, everyone
