Elijah Dale Wolfington
So here he is!!!! da da da daaaaaaa!!!!! 8lbs, 20 1/4 in. Elijah (Eli for short) Dale (Liz's grandpa) Wolfington. He was born at 3:45 am 'ish all na-tu-ral. Liz started having contractions on the morning of Friday the 19th and we finally decided to go to the hospital at about 7pm that night, checked in and waited in the waiting room for 3 hours in the midst of intense contractions (top picture), and then when she was finally evaluated, she was already at 7 cm. We got a room shortly thereafter (about 12am) and it took until about 3am for her to be fully dilated. Our doctor came and Liz pushed for about 15 min. before our baby boy made his grand entrance. Our doctor (who we call old man river because he is literally in his late 80's) said that he has not seen such a heroic performance from a mother during a natural childbirth for "10 years or so". Liz owned that delivery! She says that she is now a bonified yogi master and will be charging extra for future yoga classes (jk). Mommy and baby are doing well.

oh my gosh... you forget how tiny they are at the beginning! i cant wait to smell him!
Too, too cute! I love him already and can't wait to see him. Liz, you are my hero. Can you teach me your labor techniques for next time?
why is it that babies wait until right after you put on a fresh diaper to do THE business? "there you go shnooky pie, a nice clean...." and your interupted by "the face" and either the sound of him pooping or someone very close by stomping in mud, but since there is no mud in Nevada, it is probably the poo poo wagon making another visit. just a thought.
He's so round! I love it!
Grandma Udall made sure that everyone around Thatcher knew about this arrival this weekend. That's 11 great-grands for them. Cheers,
Amanda

Hi Steve and Liz - wonderful pix and words. Your Eli is precious and so wolfingtony. Beautiful baby boy. Grandpa announced to me that finally a Wolfington baby boy did not have Trevor for a middle name. I explained the tradition. Now he gets it. Woo hoo for you Liz! I'm coming to L.V. on June 20. Can I hold him? Love, Aunt Nona
