Last week of pregnancy, labor, stay at the hospital

Henry's room...all ready.

Mike's Birthday dinner, October 5th.

Terry, Meg, Mike.

Sara and Molly.

Huge belly housing an 8 lb 11 oz boy who will be born 6 days after these pictures were taken. I look super pleased, because I am (sense the sarcasm). Nothing fit and I was waking up every night with contractions. He was definitely worth it though.

The night of the 9th in the delivery room. Waiting for Henry.

Been in labor for 36 hours.

Pushing (for four hours on hands and knees) with the support of Dad, Danae and Barb. And of course, Mike.

He's Here!!!

Henry Horan Oien born 10/10/07 at 4:28 am. 8lbs 11oz. 20 3/4 inches.

Henry and his proud Grandma Barbara.

Grandpa Terry approves.

Henry with all the Oiens- who waited in an 8' x 8' room until 4:30 in the morning to meet him.

The next day...

Another visit from Grandpa Clayton.

Molly trying to figure out how she feels about this new cousin. Hmm...

Total exhaustion hits. And Henry won't sleep anywhere except for on his Mama for the first 5 days.
