October 4, 2008: Callie is trying to use the potty. *

She isn't potty trained at this time, but this was still significant nonetheless as it is the first time "something" dropped out of her body into the toilet. *

Here is that something. A little nugget of joy. *

She fell asleep in the process of taking her clothes off. *

Too dang funny so we had to take a few photos. *

October 14, 2008 around 7 AM: Getting ready to start the oxytocin drip. *

Eli Thomas Schlatter was born at 11:22 AM after 2 pushes. The doctor was there getting the baby out for about 60-70 seconds total. *

Finally got one with his eyes open. This one is a keeper! *

My first chance to hold Eli. *
