Thanksgiving 2009
Mike's mom, stepdad, 2 sisters and their families visited us in Texas for Thanksgiving this year. It was so much fun to have everyone together!

Happy 5th Birthday, Michaela!
We celebrated Michaela's birthday on Halloween since that was the first time everyone would be home. QUITE the sugar rush that day! (for the record- I HATE Spongebob. Mike likes it and encourages Michaela to like it too. I left the cake ordering up to Mike for the last time. The cake is cute though, isn't it?)
12
is apparently the age where trick or treating loses its appeal. Michaela, on the other hand, enjoyed dressing up as Cinderella and filling up her bag with candy. (I'm such a lame mom and forgot to find a better shirt to go under her costume. She only owns 3 long-sleeved shirts, this was the best matched :/ )

October 16, 2009...The Story
6:00 am: We left for the hospital
7:30 am: Dr. Norton arrives. (I got a call from Dr. Norton the night before I went in and was told that my doctor, Dr. Cantu, is no longer with the practice for reasons she could not discuss. Dr. Norton said she will be my Dr. from now on. I'm happy about this, b/c Dr. Norton was who I wanted in the first place but she wasn't taking new patients. She is the founder of the practice I go to.) I was already dilated to 3cm and 75% effaced. She hooked up the IV with Oxytocin and breaks my water. We wait. I watch TV, Mike sleeps in a chair.
9:45 am: Contractions are coming hard and fast
11:00 am: Contractions are almost unbearable and I am practically in tears...Just keep focusing on that TV. I called the nurse for the epidural. She says he'll be there in 10 minutes.
11:10 am: BEST anesthesiologist ever! The epidural was NOTHING compared to the contractions I was having.
12:30ish pm: Get the doctor! I feel the baby sliding down!
12:44 pm: She's out! And holy moly does she have a lot of black hair! Her forehead is bruised from sitting in the birth canal while the delivery team prepared, but she's still beautiful!!
