Eli is Here

I got a call from Jennifer on Friday from work letting me know tha she was in labor and was heading to the hospital from her Lugoff clinic.  Brian brought Jonah by to me, and Steve came later to take over Jonah while I headed to the hospital.  Elijah Turner Griffin was born about 8:30 that night.  He is 23 inches long and weighed 8 lbs. 12 oz.  A big boy!! Steve and Jonah came to the hospital to meet Eli.  They got to see him through the nursery window.
                                                                                     They had told Jennifer she was scheduled for 6 p.m.
Waiting to go In


 but someone else came in and needed to be taken care of first.  Jennifer's surgry wasn't until about 8.












Eli's first sit-up!!!
Jonah and Papa looking at Eli through the nursery window!


His first bath- he did not seem to mind having the water flow over his head.

Brian is getting to know Eli as he gets poked and pricked.


Jennifer said Eli was protesting from the minute he was born and the whole time he was in the nursery he was hollering!   I am not sure that I blame him with all the nurse was doing to  him.  The pediatrician told Jennifer and Brian that he was perfect!


Still fussing!!
