We started off Thursday morning at 8:30 am inducing labor with Grant and Gary just couldn't help but take a picture of the big Clinica Copacabana (yes I said Copacabana :) embroidery across my prego belly :) We were really blessed in our entire experience (although it would have been even better if they had given me my epidural more than just an hour or two before actually giving birth... this laboring until you're at a 7 or 8 and then giving you your epidural (with lots of drugs inducing labor thing I might add) is highly overrated!
If you look closely you can see my face and I think it's saying... you want to wait how long before you give me drugs? (That's my OBGYN and she was a great great great Dr. We were so blessed! When your OB cancels her afternoon patients to come and labor with you... even hold your hand... now that's a great doc!)
Nathan's big brother visit the next morning! He's going to be a great big brother!
How handsome is he? 
Big Brother kisses... we're working on the word gentle :)
