Anticipation of Asher




Here are the faces of somewhat anxious parents waiting to meet their son for the first time. We had a scheduled induction on February 21st, due to some complications with the pregnancy, at 39 weeks gestation. Amazingly, they turned us away from the hospital when we showed up at 6AM on that Saturday, because they were full. There had been so many women show up in the middle of the night who were in active labor, that they didn't have enough nurses on call to go around! SO we were bumped back to 8 AM...much to our frustration! But we were shown to a room when we showed up yet again and a nurse was found for us. A pitocin drip was started at about 9:10AM and almost 4 1/2 hours later, we welcomed Asher Nicholas Orr into the world!
