She's here! Zoe June Walters made her grand entrance at 7:09pm on Wednesday September 12, 2007. And man is she beautiful! She came out at 6lbs. 12oz. and 18 1/2 in. long. Carly was AMAZING throughout the whole process. We needed to stay at the hospital for 48 hours (until Friday night) so thus, the couple day late entry. So we're at home now with Zoe and our families are visiting as well. Just one big party. Cynthia & Emily (Carly's sisters) decorated the house with streamers and a big "Welcome Home Zoe June" sign. Carly's taking a nap right now, Zoe is asleep on Kelsey's chest (my sister), and the dogs are in the kitchen...they can smell something different in the house, but we're not letting them run free quite yet! So without further adieu, meet Zoe.
After 17 hours of solid labor, Zoe spent the first hour of her life on mom's chest. This is the first picture we took of her; she's getting ready for her first bath.
The bathtub was more like a dish bucket, but hey, it worked!
This nurse, Kristy, started her shift just as Zoe was born. She was great.
All clean! And man do they get dirty in that breathing water to breathing air transition.
The two stars of the show, darn tired.
Carly lost a lot of blood during the birth, so was pretty light-headed the first night. But the next morning, as you can see here, she was doing GREAT!
Zoe's just about to try for her 3rd meal. She's been eating great. Gets that from her dad.
Our little god-daughter taking a turn holding Zoe (man, it seems like last month that I was visiting HER at the hospital the morning she and her twin brother were born). She was one of several visitors.
Nana June and Zoe June.
Nurse Cinnamon checking some vital signs.
I like to think she's trying to look for me :).
Ah, hospital gourmet. This is the room where it all happened. You can see Zoe's little bed just behind Carly's. I can tell you for sure that there was definitely NOT food there just 36 hours before.
The milk mustache.

I know it's hard to believe, but there will definitely be more pictures to come! We can't wait for you to meet Zoe June. She's so wonderful, and we are honored to be her parents.
