Balen and I thought we would update mom's blog and give a rundown on the first day while she was asleep.
This is somewhere around 5:30 this morning. She was dilated a 10 and getting ready to go to work. It was really a walk in the park up to this point, as seen by the smile.
Balen decided to come and join us at 6:30 this morning, only after being coaxed out with the salad tongs. He looked like the long lost Conehead when he first arrived. Shortly after this Annie wasn't feeling quit so great. Her blood pressure dropped and she lost a lot of blood after Balen was out.

We had early visits from Mark and Paige. Surprisingly, Paige didn't drop Balen when he whimpered.
All of Balen's cousins came to visit this afternoon.
What up Cuz
My parents came back to see Balen again late this afternoon.

Look how far Paige has come in 12 hours. Maybe in two years, she can hold him while standing up!
He woke up tonight around 10:30 for the first time since this morning. He had his first good meal to finish off his first day and is ready for bed. Being the "Office" fan that he is, Balen lived his first day in the words of Michael Scott "I'm an early bird and a night owl. So I'm wise and I have worms."
Jared- you're such a great dad, thanks for keeping us updated through this blog! I'm just so thrilled for you two and so glad mom and baby are doing good. Whew, now it's the road to recovery and loving on that baby!
