Eli was an extremely active baby in mommy's tummy but on Thursday morning he really slowed down his movements. Stephanie was worried and called the doctor (from the office parking lot) and they told her to drink some coke and lay down and see if that helped and then come in to the office at 1. Steph followed nurses orders but still didn't feel much movement.
While she waited for 1:00 to roll around, she came home and listened to the baby's heartbeat on the at home fetal monitor that we have which helped give her some comfort until her appointment. When she arrived at the doctors office, they gave her a non stress test and then sent her over to labor and delivery. Immediately upon arrival she was admitted. She then called me and I arrived at about 2:05pm.
The doctor was pretty worried about the baby so they got Stephanie in to surgery very quickly and Elijah George was born at 2:52 in the afternoon. He was 18.75" long and weighed in at 6.5lbs. He was born at 37 weeks.
Due to the unexpectedness of our new arrival, all of the early pictures were taken by camera phone. Here is the first one taken with a few more mega pixels.
