Eli McAffee

Meet the newest member of the McAffee family, Eli McAffee born 2-17-09
at 12pm. Weighing in at 6lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Eli tried to come into this world on Monday but it wasn't going to happen. So after an hour in the hospital the nurses sent us home and told us to go walk around Walmart. We decided to go get Chinese food and get the kids in bed and watch some T.V. and get a good nights rest. We called the hospital the next morning and we arrived about 7:20 am.
It was a little noisy in the hospital, for some reason there was jack-hammering going on it seems next door, and then the flood came. I flushed the toilet in the room and it was a fountain, water all over the floor. The best part was the nurse had left to check on someone else and Coy had left to grab a bit of food. I paged the nurses station and they came in to find water all the way into the room. So why I was getting my epidural the janitors where rebuilding the toilet. All went well, Eli would have been born 15 min earlier for we were waiting patiently for Dr. Later to come so we just made small chat until he arrived.

I am so happy that he is here and all is well. He is a beautiful little boy and it is fun to see Mackenzie and Riley get excited for him. Mackenzie will love helping Mom. Love you all and I am back at work and miss holding Eli.
