Before leaving the hospital, we got some really cute pictures of Lilly!
A visit from Amanda, Greg, and Jeff
Now that we're back from the hospital and settled in, we have time to put up a few new pictures. Amanda sent this great picture of Lilly's oldest cousin Greg saying hi to her for the first time. I was trying out the video camera at the time, and still need to work out how to share those clips, in my free time. :-)
Visitors!

Pictures of Lilly
First taste of hospital "on call menu service." Jill's looking forward to going home already!
Look at those cheeks!
An uncommon shot (okay, maybe not so much) of Lilly sleeping.
First Moments in the World
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
Lilly weighed in at 6 pounds 10 ounces, 20.25 inches long, head diameter 13 inches.
It took over 45 minutes for Lilly to find her way back to mom after the procedure, but here she is, finally a little skin to skin contact. 
Mmm, nothing like swaddling. Lilly quiets right down when bundled up tight, and lets it be known that she doesn't like hanging loose. 
She gave us a rare look on her first day, mildly abused by flash cameras.
A Glimpse at the Surgery
Wheh, a long day yesterday! And a new addition to the family! A little bit of wrestling with firewall and technology, and here are the pictures; we're very happy to share them with you!
We made it to the hospital at 6:30am, but the intake nurse on staff told us they weren't expecting us until 8:30. Oops. Our procedure was also delayed a bit waiting for test results. Erik found some scrubs and tools, and was considering going forward himself, and Jill was relieved when they started the procedure at 10am.
In the operating room. Jill was behind a curtain, but awake for the procedure. Erik stood right beside her and able to offer support.
There were a total of 10 people in the operating room, quite a production to bring little Lilly into the world.
Lillian Judith Pearson came into the world at 10:30am on January 20, 2009. Here she is, beautiful and healthy upon arrival, taking her first breath in a new world.
