The Day We Met Leila

 

Leila's Birth 032-2

This is my friend Liza. She is in labor in this picture. Amazing, right?

Epidurals are pretty cool.

Here is her daughter Leila’s birth day in pictures.

Leila's Birth 093-1

A birth calls for a celebration. We like to celebrate with Asti Spumante.

Leila's Birth 098-1

Leila’s daddy and his sister sleep on the couch while they wait for Leila to come.

Leila's Birth 040-1 

This left us quite bored. So we amused ourselves by taking a few glamour shots and watching Billionaire Matchmaker.

And also, discussing with the nurses whether they have seen anyone attempting orgasmic childbirth.

She says she hasn’t, but has heard about it.

5 hours after being induced, Liza is ready to push.

Leila's Birth 107-1 

She made childbirth look so easy.

With only a few pushes, baby Leilani was here.

Leila's Birth 124-1

Leila's Birth 298-1

Welcome to your life baby Leilani! We’re so happy you came along.
