Meet Grace Elizabeth

So here are the promised pictures of Grace (click on the pictures for a larger image).

This first picture is Grace just a few minutes after she was born. She has some bruises from her attempted trip down the birth canal, but she is healing pretty quickly from that.







Here is Mommy getting her first close-up view of Grace. Obviously a very happy mommy!







A little while later, in the special care nursery. The nurses cleaned Grace up, and are keeping a close eye on her.









Mommy and Grace spending some quality-time together.





We'll post some more pictures and stories as things go. For now, Grace has to stay in the special care nursery until she gets her body temp up and can eat. Hopefully she'll be able to come home in a few days. Laura also has to stay at the hospital for a few days so she can recover from the c-section. Unfortunately, the hospital does not have wireless access, so you'll have to rely on my posts...Laura won't be able to post for a few days yet ;)
