Welcome Amelia!

After 17 hours of labor (and then, a c-section), we welcomed Amelia into the world at 3.45 am. on Thursday, January 10th, 2008. Some pictures from her first couple of days!

After a long wait, Stephanie and the grandparents get their first view of Amelia when they clean her up (at this point, she's about three minutes old).

Jamie holds the new little person just before they leave the hospital, swaddled in the pink blanket Grandma Wallis knitted for the occasion

In her Moses basket, sleeping soundly

With her first hospital visitors, Uncle Bruce and Aunt Lorraine

Ready for her close-up, not particularly pleased about it.

Second visitors to the hospital with Sumie and Brian!

Baby was a little jaundiced, so she got to sleep on a blue light. Tron baby!

Nice. Now there's a good looking family.

Snuggled up with loving Grandpa Magnotta

We kept everybody in ridiculous suspense, until we settled on a name! (shameful)!

Decked out in hospital freebies (you know we took all that home!)

Relaxing with her ridiculously photogenic Aunt Stephanie

Cradled by proud Grandad Wallis

The girls!

Sleeping soundly in the arms of radiant Grandmother Wallis

Hanging out with ecstatic Grandma Magnotta

Just a few minutes old, swaddled up in hospital blankets and a sweet little cap
