Friday afternoon we got the call from Shannon that we had anxiously been awaiting...she was FINALLY in labor. Her contractions weren't 5 min apart yet though so we still had a long wait. I didn't get much sleep because I was expecting a call any minute saying she was on the way to the hospital. Finally Saturday morning at 7:30 am, she let us know that she was at the hospital and there to stay!
By 11 o'clock the waiting room was filled with our family.
Our traditional sister picture...always awkward but we take one at every birth.
While Shannon was laying around in bed, haha just kidding, we were passing time in the waiting room. We all come prepared with toys, iPads, and snacks.
Yes, we all watched and did stuff on the iPads, but we were there for 7hrs before we even got to see the baby!
Aiden was born at 3:41pm but we didn't get to see him until about 6:15. By then Shannon had already been moved out of L&D. When we got to her room, a nurse was in there so we had to wait outside for a few min. Zoey could hear Aiden crying and was very concerned (this is NOT a posed picture!)!
Finally!
