Waiting for Baby Shelby

Erin was so miserable the day before she went into labor. This picture was taken at a Cub Scout meeting at the Church.

Erin in labor at the hospital in Wilmington, NC. The labor "team" is asleep on the pull out couch behind her. She was in labor for 12 hours and they finally decided she would have to have an emergency C-section.

Shelby Mae in the nursery just after birth. She weighed in at 9 lbs. 14 oz. The surgery team took bets on how big she would be and they were amazed.

The proud father. Jason was a real trooper.



Emma was so happy to see her new sister.
She is such a good helper now.

Jason was so glad to get his new sister. He is a great helper to

Erin and Shelby now. He sits next to Shelby in the car

to make sure she is okay. Shelby loves him and wants

to hold his hand. He sings to her when she is cranky.

Erin was so glad to have the whole ordeal over.

She is such a trooper.

These t-shirts were so cute. The nurses throught that

they were so adorable.
