Jen just beginning contractions on her own...  hooked up to the monitor in our labor & delivery suite.

This is the fetal & contraction monitor that Jen was hooked up to for the 20+ hours of labor!

Some contractions... notice the nice even bell curves! - Later they got much higher and longer...

The anesthesiologist setting up the epidural - a wonderful woman!

Three shifts of wonderful nurses - Cynthia, Susan & Krista!

After three hours of pushing and a baby that didn't budge... followed by Dr. Lupo's forceps assist...

Labor is over & Jen is still being attended to!

Hannah is being checked out right after birth (less than 5 minutes old!)

Jen holding Hannah for the first time - almost 2 hours after delivery...

Our great doctor - Dr. Lupo holding the fruits of the labor!
