Our Wonderful Nurses and Doctor

Stephanie was our day nurse for two days. We loved her. She was always saying how beautiful Ella is and helping us with our questions and anything else we needed. We found that all the nurses and doctors we had contact with at the hospital were excellent. They were helpful, encouraging and and geniually loved their work and patients. They made the fact that we were at the hospital from Wed. night until Monday afternoon much better.
This is our doctor Dr. Heid. He is amazing. The Wed. before Ella was born he finished up at the Family Physicians practice and wouldn't be starting at his new pracitce until Sept. 3rd. Despite being on vacation he was still with us through Ella's birth. He was also leaving to China with his family the Sunday after Ella was born. While he should have been packing he spent the night at the hospital monitoring my labor. We are very thankful to him for staying with us. It meant a lot to us that he was there for Ella's birth. Barb was our nurse all day Thursday as I labored. She took great care of us through out the day. Unfortunately she was not there when Ella was born because Ella took so long to come. When she was back at work on Sunday she came to see us and meet Ella.

Labor and delivery nurses are pretty much all around amazing...and beautiful...and smart...and funny. That's just my opinion though.
