In the Hospital
(Click on images for larger picture)
 Now that the birth
was over, we settled in for our 48-hour stay in the hospital. Noah was born at Evans US
Army Community Hospital, Ft Carson, CO. When we first learned we'd be getting care from
the Army, we cringed, but we had a great experience and would choose them first next time. |
 Once the three of
us got to our room, we discovered it was a room with a view. Have we told you we love
Colorado? |
 Noah slept
well that first day. Many of you will recognize this picture because it flew around e-mail
for a while. |
 After a
little sleep, Dan and Angie were ready to try this parenthood thing out. This isn't so
bad! |
 Wish we could say
the same for the hospital food. Umm, prune juice! The quote which goes with this one is
"what is this?" |
 The former Dean and
Marsha, now Grandma and Grandpa Edwards, brought supplemental food. Oh yeah, and they came
to see their new Grandson. |

 Don't know exactly
when this picture was taken, but it was NOT the night of the 19th/20th. There was little
sleep to be had for any of us as the poor little dude struggled through his first gas
pains. Luckily, we haven't had a night like that since. |
 It's amazing what a
couple long naps and a shower will do. This is our first family photo. |
 Both Dan and
Angie got plenty of opportunities to be parents because he only left our side for a few
minutes at a time--no mass nurseries. Our second day there was Father's Day, and we
couldn't think of a more memorable way to spend it. Judging by the color of his face, I
think he's working on a "present." |
 Once our 48 hours
were up, they finally let us go. Here's little Noah all bundled up for his first trip out
into the rest of the world. Even though it was June, it was in the 50s, windy and
rainy--he didn't mind. |
