Eli Thomas Gardiner was born December 10th, 2010 at 4:16am.
He was (probably) 6lbs 6oz (darn faulty labor and delivery scale!). I went into the hospital to be induced but after noticing my extremely elevated blood pressure and Eli's decelerated heart rate, he came into the world via c-section after only 4 hours of "labor".
I fell in love the moment I heard his cry.
He has my eyelashes and my grandmother's nose...but the rest of him is all Andrew.
He is such an incredibly happy baby. He eats a ton but has struggled gaining weight. He also miraculously sleeps through the night (when I don't force him awake to eat).
He has the biggest eyes I've ever seen...when he looks at you, he LOOKS at you.
He and I spend all day together everyday. I am having an amazing time being a stay-at-home mother. I'm usually doing very little around the house, aside from holding and/or feeding the boy. But right now, I just don't mind. (Though, I AM looking forward to him being able to do more on his own so I can get back to FFwD and being a super awesome homemaker.)
