January '12

 We've been so busy dancing,

 making peanut butter playdough, 

and cleaning up messes (chocolate milk mix EVERYWHERE)...

that we are all worn out! (and slacking at blogging)

Three months later, here is the birth story: 12/13/11 Started out the day with contractions. When they were 15 minutes apart I got concerned- I wasn't scheduled for my c-section for another week. Called the dr. and he said to come in right away. After getting admitted and checked I was dilated to a 6. The clock was ticking. By the time I was prepped for surgery I was at an 8 and given the option to push until the surgeon checked me and said the baby was faced wrong. Surgery proceeded and at 1:15pm came a 6lb 1oz 19in baby boy.

These two still have a hard time keeping their hands off, but they are pretty good helpers.

One of my favorite pictures! We are just about to leave the hospital. (All pictures of me in the hospital look terrible! I had also just had an IV dose of iron to help replenish my low red blood cell count so I was very pale.)
