Elijah Philip Duncan

I know this is considered "the Duncans" blog, but it's really Chrissie's blog about the Duncans. So hopefully I'll get the pics on here right because this is my first time blogging.

We got to the hospital just before 7am on Thursday 01/15/09. It took a whole hour before Chrissie was all prepped to have her water broken and labor induced.

Chrissie wired up and ready to go!

Unfortunately my prediction to have the baby by 10am did not prove true. After an hour of really painful contractions, a wonderful epidural, a "texas roll", and then a little over 2 hours of pushing....Elijah Philip Duncan was born into this world!

This is after the nurse wiped him down. I considered putting a pic up of him right after he was born, but as much as people say how beautiful newborns are, they really aren't something you want to look at too much until after they've been cleaned up.

Here Elijah is getting weighed. 8lbs - 6oz.

Chrissie LOVES her little baby boy.

The happy family. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that there are three of us now!
