The Hyun Family: Evan Seowook Hyun

OK so I've been trying to upload photos for a couple of days and something kept going wrong, but here we go.

Mom and Dad came in town on Wednesday night and we spent Thursday getting the house ready for the new arrival. Dad spent the week fixing odds and ends around the house and mom did tons of cooking and cleaning. It was wonderful having them around.

Here's mom and Megan at the grocery store. Megan loves pushing around the little carts. She feels all grown up.

Very early on Friday morning David and I took off for the hospital for my induction. After waiting for an hour to get into our room, things progressed fairly rapidly. My OB broke my water around 9AM and the pitocin was already going. By 11 the contractions were pretty bad and I got my epidural a little bit later. After a couple of adjustments I was very comfortable. Around 12:30 I was 5cm dilated and 95 percent effaced and the morning doc left. The afternoon doc was scheduled for a C-section at 1:30 and I was told she'd come check on me afterwards. Well at 12:45 I started having alot more pressure in my pelvis so my nurse asked my doc to check on me before the C-section. She arrived at 12:50 and Evan was delivered at 1:11PM. Everything was pretty much finished by 1:30.

This is me right before leaving for the hospital.

Evan at a few minutes old. He's got a good set of lungs.

Ahh this is better.

8lbs 5oz and 21 inches long.

The proud papa. Too bad that chair was so uncomfortable. David got even less sleep than I did.

The proud big sister. Megan has been very good with her little brother.

David and Grandpa took Megan to the Air and Space Museum while mommy and grandma stayed home with Evan.

We had a nice visit with Joanie, Cassie and Kelda Sunday night. They were in town for ballet certifications. Megan had a great time with her coousins (as always).

We took advantage of a nice warm afternoon to get a little sun.

Here's the proud grandma giving Evan his second bath. Hmmm somehow I don't have any pictures of me giving him the first one. Must be our second child. Mom I'll really need your photos downloaded.
