PICTURES!

We are finally back from the hospital and that has given me an opportunity to upload the pictures. I have posted practically all of the pictures that were taken on my online Picasa web album, which you can get to from this weblink - http://picasaweb.google.com/willgarvin/BabyGarvinPhotos?authkey=g0agDO0zA40.

I have also posted four of the pictures that appear in the album below. I'll put more pictues up in the following days.

Above is a picture of a nurse holding Madeleine when she was first born.

Above is the first Garvin family photo.

Here is a close up of Madeleine while sleeping.

And here is a close up picture of her when she is awake.

Brief update

Everything is still going well. We have had lots of visitors today and received calls from lots of people. Both sets of grandparents, sams who live nearby and mine who drove up from north carolina, have been a great help. The current plan is to stay at the hospital until saturday and then go home. Unfortunately for those waiting for pictures you will probably have to wait until this weekend for photos and video.

more info on madeleine

Here are some more details on Madeleine. She was born today, May 29th, at 12:59 am. She weighed in at 6 lbs 15 ounces and is 20 3/4 inches long. She's already learned how to use her lungs for a full cry. At her delivery, the nurses and doctors even commented that she was loud. That's our little overachiever. Madeleine had her first bath this morning and she did not appreciate it. We'll post some pictures of her soon.

Madeleine is here!!!!

Madeleine arrived at 1259 am. Everyone is doing fine. More updates to come later.

Here we go

Sam went into labor today. We are at the hospital right now. It looks like we will be here for awhile but sometime tomorrow we should have a new baby.

Memorial Day - more pictures

Here are some more pictures of Rolling Thunder.

This last picture is a picture of the graves at Arlington National Cemetery. They place a flag on all of the graves in the cemetery for Memorial Day Weekend.

Memorial Day - Rolling Thunder pictures

No baby news, but this past weekend was Memorial Day. In DC, that means that Rolling Thunder comes to town. Rolling Thunder is an organization that works for the return of US military that are either prisoners of war or missing in action. They are also known for coming to DC in a big parade of motorcycles every year on Memorial Day. I thought I would take the opportunity of their arrival to take some more pictures with my new camera. Let me know if you like the pictures.
