Just a few more things to share from Evelyn's birthday story. After all the excitement and frenzy died down, we were able to move to our room and spend time resting and visiting with family. Amazingly, we were gifted a hospital suite from Chase's parents, and it was perfect. We had LOTS of people there, but we could have privacy in our own room and separate, gorgeous bathroom. Chase had a comfortable, queen-sized bed to himself, and we ate gourmet meals. It was worth every penny...that we didn't have to spend. THANKS BOB AND DONNA!
Everybody wanted to watch as Evelyn had her first bath.
And of course EVERYONE was so excited to get their hands on her! We had a visit from Kylie at some point as well, but I couldn't find a picture anywhere! She will be in many future pictures with Evelyn, though!
Mrs. Val
Aunt Susan
Danny, Ronda, Ty, and Taylor
Aunt Ronda must've been operating the camera.
I was sad we hadn't gotten a picture of the three of us together, so Chase took this selfie.
Uncle Dustin and Jane
We asked Jane, "What's the baby doing?" Her exasperated reply to our obvious question was, "Sucking!" No pun or irony is lost on us; there have been many moments since when she has been quoted.
Aunt Michelle
Beth stopped by to say hello, and it was really special to see her!
Daddy with his fun t-shirt. I mean, it's so true.
And our food...
So...much...food!
Our stay there kind of spoiled us. Everyone talks about having difficult birth experiences for one reason or another, but the hospital was the easiest part of having a baby for me. Maybe I expected the worst and was pleasantly surprised. The all-night childcare was definitely a perk! We had a great time in the hospital and made wonderful memories there that we will cherish forever.
