Introducing . . . Aaron Nicholas Bender

Nick and I officially became parents last Thursday, February 5, 2009 at 6:18 PM. Aaron weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and is 21 inches long. He has beautiful blue eyes and lots of dark hair.

Here are a few pictures from our hospital stay.

This is me having a contraction . . . before the wonderful epidural.

After pushing for two hours and no progress -- we decided to do a c-section.
