Pictures from the hospital

Although there are some more interesting ones from the delivery room, I will spare you the details. My favorite newborn picture of Maeve was one taken with the nurse rushing across the OR, but the way Mike took it, they look like they're standing still and the rest of the room is a blur. Which is pretty much how I remember it--it's a cool picture, except that everyone is covered in blood. That would be my blood. I've come to a point in my life that I just don't think that's such a hot idea anymore....so nothing like that. And no pictures of early fumbling at getting him to nurse either.

But here are a couple.

Here is the first photo as he came around the "sterile field" and they gave me a look before I went back to counting and concentrating on breathing.

This one is Leo all bundled up. Note that the nurse has on THERMALS.

Here we rest in the room that afternoon.

Baby.

Lost now on the country miles in his cadillac.
I can tell by the way you smile he is rolling back.
Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green.
