Labor & Delivery

We're finally able to blog about Scott's arrival! Here's some pictures and details you've all been asking for.

Niki was admitted to the hospital and induced Tuesday morning, the 11th (5 days after the due date).
Here we are with Niki in hard labor, yet smiling and feeling pretty good because of our dear friend Vonna. Vonna, who was our labor & delivery nurse for Addie's birth, works at the hospital and came on her lunch break to encourage me through labor and make me more comfortable. What a blessing she is!!!!! She was able to finish her shift and come in for Scott's birth too, we were so glad.
Here's Scott Ryan Spangler just minutes after birth. Weighing 8 lbs., 7 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. He was born at 5:45pm. Niki's labor lasted a little less than 9 hours. (And I was confortable for most of it!) I was less sick this time than last time, but still gave Greg and Vonna the wonderful privelege of catching my vomit. I'm a giver.
Resting after the big ordeal.
Getting his first bath. Not too excited about it.

Niki, you look so good in your hard labor picture. Like one of those girls who looks like they just went to the salon even though they just gave birth. Or the girls that can go through pregnancy without wearing maternity clothes.
