I can't believe how time has flown :) Our little man is seven months old and is the sweetest! He has such a kind, loving soul and we are fortunate to guide him through life. Bryan had a day off work so we quickly went to the pumpkin patch in between naps (in order to get happy pictures). Danny was having a great day. He loved all the pumpkins. Of course, he wanted to eat them all. Everything these days goes straight into his mouth. <br />
<br />
We had such a fun morning and I will cherish these moments forever :)<br />

<br />
What a day it was! The sights! The sounds! The smells! The bay of islands is everyting I could hope for and more. I feel like I can't type fast enough to get out my thoughts. The beauty can't be captured with a phtograph or even words!<br />
<br />
We got on the bus today in Auckland. Everyone seemed a bit shy at first but I couldn't wait to meet everyone. We met Sam, Brooks and Ben (from Alabama) at breakfast. They looked like Contiki people right away. We began asking all the usually questions...Where are you from? How old are you? Where else have you been? Have you ever done Contiki?<br />
<br />
Emmo, our tour guide, sent us off to buy a secret Santa gift for Christmas day. We rushed around Auckland looking for the perfect gift.<br />

(Leaving Auckland, on the way to the Bay of Islands)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Our first stop was at Pauhi Kerry Park. they have large trees...nothing like the red woods but still quite amazing. the best part was the lush green walk around the trees. The weather was humid and we could hear all the bugs communicating with each other. It felt and sounded like the midwest. Like a trip I have experienced when visiting family. We couldn't see the sky on the walk because the green was so dense.<br />

On the bus Bryan and I kept switching spots with people in order to meet everyone. There was only 15 at the time but there were more people that would be picked up on the way. When we got to the Bay of Islands we immediately went to a store to buy snacks and booze. We bought bread, peanut butter and honey, to save on money.<br />

Our tour bus and bus driver, Mikey!<br />
<br />
Not wasting anytime we jumped in a boat and went parasailing. Soring 1200 feet in the air was incrediable. We got a bird-eye view of the Bay of Islands. I get chills just thinking about it. The wind in my face and the distance at my feet. I felt like I was flying. It was freezing and terrifying all at the same time.<br />

Dinner was wonderful.Yummy beer can chicken.We thought our tour guide was saying big hair chicken! HA. It was super funny. Then off to the bar for our first epic night of drinking. Bryan showed off his disappearing beer trick. All nations are impressed by this. I guess it's a gift that I have to accept. Everyone was so great.</div>

We weren't able to go last year so we were really excited when it worked out this time. This year it was six families with 7 kids total. It was eventful and we're looking forward to next year!<br />We took a quick break on the way up the mountain.<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782279835812238658'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFyFx4A3v_8shhugidOHLSHEAUewCsUJaupTELxsqyjhKBXMz9zCcgoNeEIV4pOlJEzD2Qq1yk3wEddy8rZ9k-EofTJPxfDQxEhIvdsC5ZV1qnqMhheUETTk8PnJ064Oi1y3Mo9ABzwLg/s288/39.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br />We arrived at our campsite around 2 on Friday. The campsites were well shades and large. Bryan and I were very impressed. Danny smiled most of the weekend. It was hard to get him to nap in the tent because everything was so new and exciting to him. We had a great time.<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782279884898036770'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6wYTafyG71m_7EZFBVe2_sfPlw5UqmqI-Aw7ZVaM_E1gdcA7OwjTavNZn2KSVG7PW7JZp3FkAIkHMLoxbEeP0u3wzIe4Cazk4jAiXXLWhojkkEeS6JkGHbJVrQ6Qrmqp93BtK1OS0o4/s288/37.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782279919334518818'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_2QtoykOX23KrperCJrgrWnP8OJsdP38dqmCdk84vKYLYWJcKvmKPutsziXSHuq1BJtvCvti9P-9G5uacRAr3IVLaAwp9joXqF6NLi3QDuAFBDZ07vo-lCVfYN50ZaqIJomKFmrO3yRA/s288/38.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br />We went to big bear lake for a few hours but the weather wasn't the best :) Danny took a nice nap!<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782279954742872530'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg69AjKVetlDsUcn15lKiQn36XG9Cg4pcs6WUfIOCQpNbOXkShZfer7i7i5hyRIO3eXQ_69_9wtZl3bJl3h__XTAlCnKkWZAAcsFcwfnODOdaYnE_Ghs5wKs3wPrre9SAffX7WiGk5B8ZI/s288/36.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br />Hanging around our campsite!<br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782280003763160274'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0lFOjCNRB-UcdsLkD45YgYT3pIcwsVQcTotiZA9HDEtntbhjBA156mzgrVzaUOFXFDbPQ9Dmz77-2IMEaNsVMkQn8q6IFIKBKuVt9kCzANx6imG3mNaNUpGq8lSGbyWV9VPU-77UhRbM/s288/35.jpg' border='0' width='187' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a><br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782280048312157906'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3jSBqhP6ByEgFVIFR_BTdP8l3tph8p6YiVmKHSj-xZSZKUoYU0wIWc_Wfr0htJmACzaOTicwbsJE5KTtPfWfeNyoNSe3mIpCgogzU1bFNAFq-k5ggl0uscAhNJ0QzGb0oEdmfI3a3Ylc/s288/34.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5782280092990603330'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUq90gDJhFaCryMGvTpNMx_XanMRzTwp0DlJ-eQ3j9JWB9wiE5YHYxnl2BdkpNNBKr-S-GuMADwRsNrjlp21O7nFtse2Jc4Mf4Ws1_52vUJHruzYjwZi5ZSXN6UPucUEWuUVk4vI_c8S8/s288/33.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='187' style='margin:5px'></a><br />Danny loved camping but the nights were pretty tough because it was so cold.

Bryan, his brother and dad went golfing that morning while Kathy prepared for a BBQ and I had arts and crafts time with Danny. I put paint on his feet and hands and placed them on a white canvas for fathers day gifts. Putting paint on a 3 month olds hands wasn't the smartest idea I've ever had :) <br />When the boys came home from golf we had a huge fathers day BBQ. My dad, brothers and Christine came up too! <br />Danny and I are so lucky to have Bryan in our lives! He is such an amazing dad and I'm blown away by is daddy skills.

When Danny reached 3 months old we thought it was the perfect time for our first date (after baby). It was so much fun getting dressed up again and actually having a reason to put on make up!<br />
We both had never been to the melting pot but we had heard wonderful things. <br />

We had a blast! I'm not the biggest fan of spending a bunch of money on food but it was totally worth it. The food and drinks were amazing and of course, we talked about Danny the whole time. <br />

Around dessert time we got a call from Kathy, Bryan's mom, that Danny had been awake for an hour. We packaged up dessert and made it back home to put our poor little man back to bed.<br />
We finished dessert in our kitchen and loved every minute of it.<br />
Cheers to date night!<br />

If I'm not with him I have to actively force my brain to stop thinking about him. Being a mom is wonderful and amazing. Bryan and I feel so lucky that Danny picked us to be his parents. We just want to do what's right by him.<br />
I never thought I would be happy about getting puked on but when it makes Danny feel better it's totally worth it.<br />
Danny's first big smile was thanks to Grandpa Green, who was giving Danny a foot massage. After that smile on April 13th the smiles have been non stop. It warms my heart every time I see him smile. Sometimes when I'm trying to put him to sleep he'll smile at me in a very flirty way. I can't help but smile back at him, even though I'm trying to put him down for a nap...<br />
<br />
Dreams<br />
I didn't realize that bizarre dreams came with pregnancy and motherhood. When I was pregnant I dreamt that my friend Candace and I were taking pictures of our boys under the Christmas tree. Bryan was mad and I couldn't figure out why. Then Candace said "you should put your baby back before he can't take it anymore." I causally agreed and put my baby back in my belly and sewed it up. Isn't that nuts? I guess I was so excited to take pictures of Candace's son and my son together. It's understandable why Bryan was upset in my dream:)<br />
The other dream that was worth remembering while pregnant was I dreamt that I was in jail. Since I was in jail I had to breast feed my baby through the bars. Talk about a stress dream! I was scared that I wouldn't be able to breast feed.<br />
Now that Danny is here it feels like I don't really get enough sleep to dream but I do occasionally. Danny has had a pretty bad trapped gas problem and so we give him this stuff called gripe water to soothe his tummy. I had a dream that there was a giant earthquake and we were in the second story of a house. I was holding Danny and the whole top on the house fell to the ground. After I knew Danny and I were okay, I frantically starting looking for the gripe water. Think we're a little dependent on that stuff?<br />
<br />
The Flood<br />
Bryan and I live with Bryan's parents in a tri-level house. They have upstairs, we share the middle floor (kitchen and living room) and we have the down stairs (two bedrooms, bathroom and an office/studio). Our downstairs toilet will flush all the gross stuff away and then sometimes the chain gets hung up so the bowl continues to fill up with water. So much water that it'll overflow. This has happened twice and we caught it within 10 minutes or so. When Danny was 5 weeks old, the flood happened at night (not so easy to catch). Danny woke up at 2am and Bryan and I went to change his diaper...The carpet was wet! The toilet had been pumping out water for at least 2 hours. Just what every mother wants. The water flowed throughout the whole downstairs; Danny's room, our closets, hallway, and our bedroom. <br />
While the bedrooms were being dried out and te-done, Danny and I slept in the spare room upstairs and Bryan slept on the coach. When Danny was 10 weeks the construction stopped and we were able to move back into our rooms. What an adventure!<br />
<br />
Having a baby is full of surprises and we can't control a thing. I'm happy that Bryan and I are a strong team. We're looking forward to any adventure, big or small, that goes with being parents!<br />

At his two month check up he weighed in at 9 lbs and 12 oz. (10th percentile) and 22 1/2 inches (37th percentile). We have a little guy but he's healthy and happy! He is holding his head up so well and is now starting to give us little smiles! It's amazing to see his little personality shinning through :)<br />

I'm completely overwhelmed with happiness that my son choose me to be his mom. He is such a sweet little man that fills my days with huge smiles and lots of poop. I've loved being a mom and I'm grateful for all the love. For mothers day we originally planned on going to the park with just the three of us but my friend Andrea invited us to a mothers day BBQ. Since our house was still turned upside down from the flood (more on this later) we were excited to get away. We went down to Poway and enjoyed an afternoon with some of our favorite moms and their families. Danny went into the hot tub for the first time. He put up with it for a good ten minutes but then started to get fussy. The water wasn't warm enough yet :) The evening ended with a foot rub from the hubby. It was a wonderful first mothers day!<br />

We didn't stay long because we really wanted to get home to our family and I don't care for hospitals very much. On the first night in the hospital I slept with Danny on my chest. I was so scared he was going to stop breathing. Because of this I didn't get very much sleep. Whenever Bryan would wake up he would tell me what a great job I was doing or ask me if I needed anything. It was so encouraging. <br />I loved being skin to skin with my little man. It was such an incredible feeling to have Danny in the outside world but still very much a part of me.<br />One of the sweetest moments in the hospital was when my mom helped me take a shower. Recovery from a c-section is awful! I was so lucky to have my mom help me wash my hair. No matter how old I get, I always want my mom when I'm not feeling good. I'll treasure this memory :)<br />One of my biggest concerns was breast feeding. When I was 19 I had a breast reduction. The doctor was confident that I would still be able to breast feed because it was ten years ago, it would just take a lot more effort. I'll never forget the octopus scene! I had two lactation ladies in the room, helping/teaching me to breast feed. They put Danny on one side and the pump on the other side. This was to help send a signal to my breasts that I have a baby that I need to feed. When the callostrum came through the pump, Bryan would use a syringe and collect. Then we would put it into Danny's mouth while he was still eating on the other side. When we were done on that side we would switch and do it all over again. This situation took 4 people-8 arms. I realized that it took an octopus to feed my child. I was still determined! More on this later.<br />Here are some of our visitors in the hospital. Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of everyone who visited.<br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743442501168119538"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXoWKbOzRTBf7Y1GAWYI_g775QmTwiuDb9Levc_WbjvYGNF523waJNcZZeFL2RZ2P_2Lp7cHg4jC4FdyqZw_s-vwsyBaq3WBn6veJPmCKLogLBzkZbYGJmFbA5U53WHl7iOnm0RqyCxcM/s288/8.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a><br />Jessica, Danny and I.<br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743442525401280658"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinHPlqjTL3WZmoRsZfWum8a15LHuA3BDa1-_fOnWFovV0vpQTaF0dAsZLtYUrO5SAhxJ9mJXFm7iYn6aENEu3A1D3E8v22W6clsh4u7ucSxl3jwYYkFU0f1GyNQNjrFWYkLhhyritO_bQ/s288/9.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br />Carly and Vanessa!

We went into the hospital as two and left as three. Bryan drove us as I sat in the back with Danny. When we arrived at home we were greeted with both grandmas. They were excited to have us home. They cooked a big dinner and we relaxed on the patio. We were so exhausted! <br />The first night home was the hardest. Since my milk still hadn't come in we had to do the whole octopus feeding every time Danny ate, except Bryan and I had mastered it enough to where it could just be the two of us. In the middle of the night Danny woke up to eat. Bryan and I were doing a great job as a team but our little man wasn't satisfied. Every time we stopped, he would cry. Bryan and I feed Danny for five hours that night, with a 30 minute nap in the middle. We were so exhausted! My mom came into the room and took Danny so we could take a power nap. 3 hours later I went to find my mom and she had cuddled up with Danny, both fast asleep. It was the sweetest thing. Thank god for grandmas!<br />The next day my milk came in and I was so happy that i cried! Feedings got a whole lot easier after that. I'm just so thankful that Bryan helped me through it all. He knew how important breast feeding was to me and he was very supportive.<br />I'll never forget Danny's first big poop at home. I know this may sound totally strange but I've come to realize that analyzing your baby's poop is really important. My milk had come in but he still hadn't had an at home poop so I wasn't sure if he was getting enough milk. Then late Saturday night, Bryan was holding Danny. Danny's forehead become wrinkled and his eyes super wide, he didn't know what was going to happen. Then Danny's diaper filled with success. His face looked so relieved. Bryan and I were so excited and proud that you would think Danny was graduating college. It was proof to us that Danny was eating which meant my breast were truly working. It's all about the little things in the beginning. Bryan and I were super proud parents!<br />We had so many wonderful visitors at home, unfortunately we didn't get photos of everyone :)<br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504306392472018"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFYiEWtKgRptlX137lvYh6_2noXFLowPWxYliQZs-wUzuLm6tn4_oRd9a4T2ABlZQ4BZ0oJmOqJPHPP1auQjFz6Az3OczsAs8B_xZNDs1lF_3iAGFMDk4EkcvkKVtl8Rxr3BwZeS7V5to/s288/8.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />G.G.

We tried the swaddle again and he finally took to it and started sleeping in his bassinet!</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504471321149170"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPfADAB8WoFMn4hLKP0riAl0x6AxfIonN4x0arfDw4adCVy4FKc06prSN8wjY4OXM3L5Z0gNdvyXC9jMZzyGEELVKfDYQLsDLlaQdeKxkCLf_vQB3xcQw0wj2O6LCbe41Ccrs-KqyTtVs/s288/15.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504485468862786"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg424c38G1ZVDLFMFQE0qDjT8aNLe3-uuRNULmXgWaqxQaHYX3uvSBb7VB68ry79qFJF0Dd-NQLBc_xsZSmHiXAdKYaCjMgeBvGht7sPgVywt05YLMwjwGNOHzCy1AFF4ASlAqLbCeyxqY/s288/16.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Bryan, Shannon and Danny</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504516944215490"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijl_4YYCycHPeQWYRidEXumqgIJy3bHnOrIFIH6lkJU1EyP1PnqgEHDXucQmrTSVBCWqkHXMShLjxV7hekiolAyor-pGK4aHsWqscHs75P9JBfVtPySLl-FdFFvNWJ_pDQGsA5XVxvbQo/s288/18.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Staci, Danny and Tiffany</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504592323736290"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQmu1oRcd3WuRFZXuL_WxUN2dTHDJbUbrhBEUlUMuQ73t4wPP_7wkk-Rdj44BDcEhxu_okCblqpP2cLf-TREeHSXEbAg1HxC3dya7UoSVco4k9CF5MQneAvoE2Nn_HaI2K7s5CTBuhkE/s288/17.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Bryan, Danny and Scott</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504610620944226"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8sDHr_-CNCDwVJ9FIJGa0aXcHI9NWJa__Qu3GYZN3KarPnvMrDaObVHyRZ0dSvUVzDNxdhqIwOugisKcxyGKReAIAmU66eU2PFIxoYyvRMPB78LzLBbSQnfhhv4boa4AEQNtmYGN3Bo/s288/19.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Niece Scarlett and Uncle Aaron</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504639109580338"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMM3JhtqMgesg0ulG1_BqRTFsMdT3vacvzowiRBF5Grkn6LYew0WbpakFGJ2aov3LBp-ZEANQwlBUEbIOrFyds8Iee2DySMIGgEvoDsEUPg8sNRyHzuZTrL8MXMk0pOHuIVtScG_i6hjM/s288/20.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />So sweet with Papa Joe</div><br /><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/111994461460738275753/BryanAndKatieGreen02?authkey=Gv1sRgCMKF55Oe877yGg#5743504690610054722"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPxNhto1Ye7JWt3Qn2rjpl6IFgk3n4j00YXdgptu63JMjVigz8RdKeUxGMHbTMUSsi3ZPFdGqEatAN0AiR1-YU4Cqvb37Ayk3P0aiIvRsFf0GYOHuopH1aZfa9LdkHgdDm7As0boZlN8/s288/21.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Danny's first date with Maya.

Oh BOY! I'm not sure where to even begin...The whole day seems like a dream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leading up to March 7th my doctor visits had been wonderful. The day before I went into labor the doctor said that the baby's head was down, I was 90% effaced and 1cm dilated. He said everything looked good, we just needed to wait for contractions to start. Bryan worked on our labor play list and we headed off to our last labor class. The classes were amazing a they did a great job of preparing me for the craziest day of my life...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My birth plan...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From day one I had planned on accepting whatever plan the baby had for his birth. I felt like the baby was in control and I was just along for the ride. I wanted to learn about all options so I wouldn't panic when the doctors told me "it's too late to get an epidural," or "you have to have a Cesarean birth,"...etc. As we got closer to the due date I realized that I really wanted to wait to get the epidural until I was 5 or 6 cm to ensure that I wouldn't have to get a c-section. I didn't want to be hooked up to monitors, I wanted a labor experience. I didn't want to feel like I was a patient in a hospital. So to prepare for this I meditated every day and Bryan and I practiced different labor positions to help with relieving pain from contractions. I asked my friend Andrea to help with my labor because I wanted girl support person and she, just like Bryan, make me a stronger person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boy did my labor not go as I had hoped...</div>

March 7th 2012</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I woke up at 2am and thought I had peed myself. I rushed to the bathroom and realized that I wasn't peeing but I was leaking. My water had broke (but not fully). I woke Bryan up and got everything together and we headed to the hospital. Only 10% of women's water brake before they have contractions so I wasn't counting on my water breaking at all. We got the hospital and they confirmed that my water had broke. This wasn't a good thing because I wasn't having any contractions and I was only 1 cm dilated. It was going to be a long day and because my water broke 'early' I could possibly get an infection. As soon as it was confirmed that my water broke I was a little bit sad at the idea of not being pregnant anymore. I had enjoyed it so much! But I was also ready to meet my son! They hooked me up to the monitors to watch the baby's heart rate and my contractions. The nurse told us it was going to be a busy day because it was a full moon. We thought her comment was a bit odd but sure enough, within that hour the triage room had filled up with women having contractions. I was so jealous, I still wasn't having any. These women got their labor room before me as well. Around 3:30AM the baby's heart rate dropped to 80 (normal baby heart rate is between 120-150). The midwife started me on fluids and told me that it was going to be a long day...</div>

At 730AM we finally got in our labor room. I still wasn't having contractions. Bryan was really supportive. He gave me our New Zealand badge of courage pin. While in New Zealand we got a cheap pin that said NZ on it. We passed it back and fourth throughout our NZ trip any time one of us did something courageous. It was so sweet that he remembered to bring it for me on a day like that.. He called our parents and told them the news. Bryan's dad, Jimmy, stopped by the hospital and dropped off breakfast for Bryan. Then we took a small nap. We didn't sleep for very long because we were so excited. We started a game of cribbage to help keep us distracted. We were about half way through when my mom and Andrea showed up. </div>

The midwife came in and started me on pitocin at 9AM. They only wanted to give me a small amount to see if my body would start natural contractions. I was really disappointed in my body for not responding the way it should have. I started to feel some discomfort from the contractions and then I heard a burst and a gush of water came pouring out. My water fully broke. At 1015 the midwife put a balloon in my cervix and filled it with water. Then taped the end of the balloon to my leg. This was to help open up my cervix because the contractions weren't doing anything for me. The balloon was putting pressure on my cervix and basically forcing it to dilate. The contractions were awful after that. They were on top of each other and I couldn't find a pattern. I sometimes had a 4 minute break and then sometimes I had a 10 second break. Bryan, Andrea and I kept moving around the room in different positions to help relieve the pain. It sometimes helped and sometimes it didn't. Bryan and Andrea were a perfect team. They kept me calm when I was about to loose it. </div>

At 11AM the balloon popped out and I felt a ton of relief. This meant I was at 5 1/2 cm. I still didn't want the epidural because I wanted to see how long I could go. The contractions were painful and unpredictable. Going through contractions with my husband was an experience I'll never forget. He was truly amazing and I feel like I fell even more in love with him that day.<br />
After 2 more hours I hadn't dilated any more and so I got the epidural. I couldn't take it any more and I felt like something else was happening with my body. With every contraction the baby's heart rate would drop.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At 1pm I had my epidural and I felt a lot better. I could still lift my legs and feel a persons touch but I couldn't feel the sharp pain like before. Sarah came to visit. It was wonderful to have her there! My mom was working on a blanket for the baby and was there for moral support :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had an oxygen mask on because the baby's heart rate kept dropping. They tried to put more fluid back in my cervix to get him in a better position. </div>

After Sarah left I tried to take another nap. My dad came to visit and it was so wonderful to have both my parents there. I feel so lucky that my parents, although divorced, are able to be in the same room to support me. The nurses kept putting me in different positions to get the baby to move so his heart rate would stop dropping. At 3:45pm everything took a turn for the worse. The baby's heart rate dropped to 35 (normal baby heart rate is 120-150). The hospital room went from one nurse to 7 different nurses and doctors within seconds. They started throwing things onto my hospital bed and disconnecting stuff. My midwife looked at me and said "you're having an emergency C-section. The best thing you can do for your baby is breathe." As quickly as the tears came to the surface, they got sucked right back down. I couldn't cry, I had to breathe and stay calm. It wasn't about me, it was about my baby. This was the first moment where I felt like a mom. I closed my eyes and focused on breathing and seeing my beautiful baby boy. They wheeled me into another room where I saw a doctor standing with a scalp all ready to go. I heard someone say "he's about to flat line." Everyone was talking at the same time. I kept my eyes closed and focused on breathing. They upped my epidural really fast so that they didn't have to put me under. I was numb from my neck down. I couldn't move my arms. I couldn't feel my lungs, so I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was seeing double and everything was blurry. I had to focus on breathing to not crying. I was scared and upset this was happening. The baby's heart rate started to come back up so Bryan was able to come in and comfort me. Within minutes, Bryan got to see our son be born. As soon as I heard him cry, I began to cry. I was so happy. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gPJzxfPpUccfeLHl3ciyqLWSjGvprGyFeYyywiUpJjXcITHutm29S7PFBgUM3GL8H6_tch_3XIggOU3sc-I-bKdDPprAkrSDmarKnbeieE8cKT77W9Q2K_DW45dFW7MIJ97Ix5NJV_Y/s1600/536650_10151439817480364_697715363_23303925_1890041850_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gPJzxfPpUccfeLHl3ciyqLWSjGvprGyFeYyywiUpJjXcITHutm29S7PFBgUM3GL8H6_tch_3XIggOU3sc-I-bKdDPprAkrSDmarKnbeieE8cKT77W9Q2K_DW45dFW7MIJ97Ix5NJV_Y/s320/536650_10151439817480364_697715363_23303925_1890041850_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

James Daniel Green, Danny to us, was born at 4:02pm weighing 7lbs 8oz and 21 inches long. He is named James after his grandpa and we just loved the name Danny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as he came out he peed and pooped on the nurse. Then he flipped off the camera, a Green for sure. Bryan took pictures of the baby. Since my arms were numb and I could hardly breathe, I couldn't hold Danny. Bryan went with him into the recovery room. </div>

I laid on the table as they stitched me back up. I couldn't move so I just closed my eyes and tried to sleep. 45 minutes later I joined my boys in the recovery room. Just me and my boys. Bryan put Danny on my chest and I got to see my baby for the first time. Bryan had to put and hold my hands on Danny because my arms were still numb. It was the best feeling in the world (minus the numb arms).<br />
<br />
My labor didn't go as planned...I didn't want a c-section. I didn't want pitocin. I didn't want that stupid balloon. I felt a little disappointed and defeated.<br />
But then Bryan helped me remember that a c-section is not the worst case scenario, it's to prevent the worst case scenario. The end result is still the same, healthy baby and healthy mom. My friend Kurt also gave us some helpful advice before going into labor, "being a good parent isn't determined on how you bring your child into this world, it's what you do once they are here."<br />
<br />
I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. A baby boy that I get to love and spoil every day for the rest of my life. That is what matters. My labor experience was completely wild. Bryan and I made such a great team and I am so thankful for the amazing husband that he is. He was so supportive and sweet. I'm happy to see him be the father of Danny and I'm so proud to be his wife.<br />

It was wonderful to be able to celebrate baby Green with our extended CSz family. The theaters patio was filled with some many amazing people. Their love and support for us was overwhelming. Bryan and I talked the entire way home about how lucky we are to have these people in our lives and how lucky baby Green is. Thank you everyone who helped put the shower together! We love you all.</span><br />

We are so excited to see our little man! At the last doctor appointment I was dilated 1 cm and 60% effaced. The doctor said his head was really low. Baby Green is ready to come out and meet everyone but my body is not ready to let him out :) As I think about baby Green being on the outside of my body, I'm mixed with emotions. I'm extremely happy but at the same time I'm going to miss the feeling of being pregnant.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 100%; ">Favorite Spot</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 100%; ">Through out the pregnancy baby Green has favored my left side. I'm not sure why but he is always over there. As he gets bigger I've been able to make out his body parts. He keeps his butt and back against the left side of my tummy and his hands and feet push against the right side. A few times he has made his way up into my rib cage. It has caused so much discomfort that while driving I wasn't able to change lanes and had to go forward because I couldn't twist my body! He hasn't been much of a kicker, he just rolls around and pushes up against the sides of my stomach...it's as if he is always stretching :)</span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Work</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm still serving tables and Ruby's and I love it. It's the perfect job for a pregnant lady! My manager, Steve, has been nice enough to give me the short shifts (about 3-4 hours) so I'm not on my feet for too long. I get to make money and get some exercise at the same time. Plus, people love a pregnant lady :) The tips are great!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh my back!</div><div style="text-align: left;">For me, the worst part about being pregnant has got to be the back pain. My lower back is always in some kind of constant pain. My lower left side is the worst side! I'm constantly trying to get someone to rub it...For my birthday gift my mom took me to Burke Williams for a pregnancy massage. I HIGHLY recommend that to any pregnant woman. It was amazing and helped with some relief.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Labor Classes</div><div style="text-align: left;">Bryan is the type of person that doesn't like classes or meetings of any type. He didn't really want to go to the labor classes but he knew they were important. Fortunately, our teacher was really amazing and had a lot of fun with us. The people in the class were also great and we were happy that we took them. After the classes we felt very prepared for everything. Who knows what can happen on labor day and its best that we prepare for any possibility.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">First Book</div><div style="text-align: left;">Since baby's remember what books you read to them when they are in the womb, Bryan and I through it would be a good idea to start reading some books to baby Green before we go to bed. I showed him the book "G<span style="font-size: 100%; ">o the F</span><span style="font-size: 100%; ">ok</span><span style="font-size: 100%; "> to Sleep," that we got at the San Diego baby shower. Bryan thought it was so funny so he read the book to the baby. Once we were done reading it, we realized that it was the first book we EVER read to our child...Oh what amazing parents we'll make :)</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Bryan and Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241700710192374340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571780670857581813.post-28327827756133476262012-03-02T20:09:00.005-08:002012-03-02T20:35:26.637-08:00Orange County Baby SHowerI feel like the luckiest girl in the world! Since Bryan and I have friends and family in San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles, we thought it would be best to have smaller/more personal baby showers in each county. Thankfully we had friends and family that we also willing to throw us each shower! Bryan and I felt so overwhelmed with love and support. Baby Green is one lucky baby!<div><br /></div><div>Our first baby shower was at Ruby's Diner in Orange on January 15th. My mother in law, Kathy, and best friend, Jamie did an amazing job and I'm so thankful! The train station was a perfect location for a baby boy themed shower. We had a yummy breakfast with mimosas(or orange juice in champagne glasses)!</div><div><br /></div><div>All the ladies had to guess how many inches my belly was. Although there was some wild guess, Lauren Murty was closest with 42 inches! The ladies also got to write a special note on a piece of paper to Bryan and I. The notes were put in diapers so that Bryan and I have something encouraging to read when we have to deal with something not so fun :) Such a great idea! We can't wait to read all the notes!</div><div><br /></div><div>It was so wonderful to be surrounded by such wonderful women in my life. I loved that I got a chance to talk to everyone. I had such a great day and we got many great gifts. We loved the home made blankets and the baby life jacket! I had a group of friends pitch in and get my Crib! Thanks girls, I love it!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigCLybFd_IvGPOX8mROOz2DTV-i9a__Hk7__dw3BlCesMtMs92uV_QlqqZdyKCJHZfIkbaNlfmmNI18T7bZIbv0SGvy5ibHxqRTQJmQNN7RoHCXpKQ58yU3gkv9K3AclZL_qJIZbJOds/s1600/IMG_3207.JPG" style="font-family: Georgia, serif;

Since they were going to be in the area, I couldn't pass up an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">opportunity</span> to get some maternity photos of my belly popping out. At this time I was 7 months along. We're hoping to take more photos when my belly is super big as well. The outdoors and cabin was a perfect place to take photos, it'll match the nursery(Great idea hubby)! BTW, Bryan hates posed pictures so this was a real treat for me.

I can't believe how fast time is going by. This week I am 32 weeks pregnant. I must apologize for my lack of writing in these posts, I tell our life story more through pictures than words. Bryan requested that I write more about the pregnancy so we can remember all the little things...So I shall try :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How I'm Feeling</span></div>
<div>
This is a question asked to most pregnant women and I really don't mind being asked. The truth is I feel like my pregnancy has been pretty good to me. I don't have anything to compare it to because this is our first baby but I know some friends who have had it really rough. The first 9 weeks I was nauseous. I didn't want to eat anything except for bland foods and I didn't want to drink anything.It felt like being hung over every day, all day long. I could smell everything and it made me sick. I only threw up once but I tried to throw up many times, searching for some relief. I was never successful but I don't think it would have made me feel better...I remember going into a grocery store and the sight and smells of all the different combinations of food almost made me loose my guts, I had to leave right away. I stopped working at Ruby's during this 9 week stage because all the different smells where making me sick as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After that 9 week stage was up I felt so much better. I could eat again! The 'hang over' was OVER! My second trimester I felt pretty good pregnancy wise BUT I got a cold which totally sucked. It knocked me out for 4 whole days but then hung out for a month. This was shocking because I was so use to getting over being sick quickly. I felt so weak. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then my belly started to grow and the aches and pains began. The most pain I feel is in my lower back. When I work a long shift at Ruby's my feet hurt and I can't really walk for the rest of the day. My nights are restless and I'm sometimes up for hours. I pee ALL the time! I'll spare some of the more gross details but I will say that pregnancy is NOT for the modest. It really takes the 'lady' right out of any women. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another popular question people ask is "can I touch your belly." I think it's nice that people ask but I absolutely love people touching my belly. I give you all permission to dive right in! In the beginning (when there wasn't really a bump) I was weirded out by it but since my belly has popped I feel like it's more baby than part of me. When people touch my belly, I feel like they are loving on my baby and it makes me happy. It's also a nice little massage :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Cravings</span></div>
<div>
This is a popular question and I never know exactly how to answer it. I don't feel like I've had any 'weird' cravings but I get obsessed with certain foods at different times. In the beginning I only wanted mango's, bacon and pickles. I lived off of fruit (mango's, and melons) those first 9 weeks. Every week I felt like I craved something new: egg salad sandwiches (with pickles of course), quasadillas (no pickles added), burritos... My two favorite foods in life are chicken and tomato's and I was disgusted with both until my third trimester. At this point everything just tastes so dang good. Bryan wants me to eat lots of spicy food so his baby will grow up to be a spicy eater, just like him. I keep eating lots of veggies and chicken so the baby will be a healthy eater as well. The main thing I've been trying to eat lately is a variety of food. I'm going to be so disappointed if we have a picky eater on our hands. Bryan and I are not picky at all. We eat what is given to us and we can find something to eat any where we go...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bryan and I have noticed that the baby moves with some foods more than others. So far the baby loves apples, popcorn, anything with garlic, and buffalo chicken tenders.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not to sound like a stereo-type but I do LOVE my pickles. This has been constant throughout my pregnancy. One night I opened a fresh jar of pickles. Bryan and I where watching a movie and I was munching away. Next thing I knew, I reached into an empty jar of pickles...I had eaten them ALL. :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emotions</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When we first found out we were pregnant Bryan and I agreed that I would be as tough as I could and he would be as patient as he could. He told me he was scared. I asked why and he responded with "I know I'm going to have to lose more often for the next 9 months." At the time I thought he was being dumb but he was totally right. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first trimester I tried to be tough and not cry over anything involving my changing body so instead I cried over everything else. I cried over pampers commercials, cute child quotes, craving certain foods and sometimes Bryan's kisses good-bye. Of course this always made Bryan laugh, which made me laugh. Then I finally broke down and cried about all the changes I was going through. I told him I was trying to be tough but I was so tired and I wanted to just cry about it. Bryan was so sweet. He comforted me and told me to let it out. He said "I've realized that this is a team effort" and those were the best words I've ever heard. It made me feel like I could be tough throughout this pregnancy and when it got too hard he was there to pick me up. Bryan and I have always made an awesome team and this pregnancy hasn't been any different.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That being said, Bryan has HAD to lose some arguments because I've been emotionally unable to see any other side except my own. It's so hard because I don't get a little bit upset, I get overwhelmingly upset and I fall apart. Bryan really has no choice but to comfort me and say sorry...even though I end up saying sorry for being 'crazy' an hour later. It's been really fun :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fitness</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Around 20 weeks I started a 'fit for baby' exercise class. It was a bit on the pricey side but I really wanted to do it. I was lucky enough that my mom said she would pay for the first two months of my classes as a pregnancy gift! Thanks MOM! I loved every minute of those classes. Most pregnancy classes out there are all about breathing and preparing for labor. This class was a workout class for pregnant moms. We're growing a baby in our belly's not our butts, so the only thing that should be getting bigger is that belly! This class made me sweat and made me sore. I LOVED it. It was exactly what I wanted. Since the class was with other pregnant moms, all the moves were designed to make room for the growing belly. There were also different levels so I could adjust my workout based on how my body was feeling. The extra plus about this class was that my friend Lauren taught it. She already has a baby so us first time moms would spend the class asking her all sorts of questions about labor and having a newborn. I had planned on doing those classes until the baby came but they ended after two months. They are going to start up again in March but baby green will be here by then :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I took two weeks off of intense workouts and did walks and pregnancy sit ups at home. The workouts weren't the same and so I started Stroller Strides earlier than I planned. Stroller Strides is a workout class for moms. It's a great place to meet other moms, get an amazing workout and you get to bring your kids/babies along for the ride. I knew I wanted to do the class after the baby came but I missed my awesome workouts and was eager to get it back! I started two weeks ago and every workout has been wonderful. All the moms are so nice and supportive. This class is similar to fit for baby except we jog with strollers. As of right now my belly is still the stroller :) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Work</span></div>
<div>
During the pregnancy I've been working as a nanny for the Khajavi family. I was so lucky to get such an amazing family to work with. The mom is a stay at home mom with two little boys that are 14 months apart. When I started working there the baby was only 3 weeks old. Since the mom used to be a labor and delivery nurse, work felt like paid training. I asked the mom millions of questions and I got actual practice with a newborn :) I stopped working with them full time when I was 30 weeks pregnant. This was right around the time where my nights started getting VERY restless. I still get to see the family and I work for them maybe once a week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since I stopped working as a nanny full time, I've started working at Ruby's more often. I plan on working there until I pop but at 32 weeks I'm already tired of the long shifts...I can only work around 4 hours and then my back and feet start to fall apart :)</div>

I don't have anything to compare it to but I'm hoping my future pregnancies are similar. Although it has been amazing, it is still tough! Right after Thanksgiving I got a cold that didn't go away. It was awful! It took my body forever to get over it because of the pregnancy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All of November and December my mom paid for my Fit 4 Baby class.

About 9 months ago Bryan and I decided to get into the DJ business. Bryan has been spinning for over ten years now and is amazing at it. He is passionate about music and we are thrilled to start our own business. It is, of course, very scary but we are very confident. Ruby's booked us for a DJ gig on NYE and we had a blast! Bryan is teaching Kevin how to DJ so he came too! I danced all night with a bunch of strangers and loved every minute of it. Since I haven't had much caffeine throughout my pregnancy, the diet coke I had kept me up all night! At midnight Bryan and I shared a kiss and a sip of champagne. Kevin and Bryan kissed my belly too! It was so sweet :) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEA4S-OAfUlzBlGblbHBigNKbkQLTd-SjM4zbJEbLnniYZ4clWrAATEbAEgLop_H7PdXvL1cFtoQmwOMrJ_dsvG5x7TtEh5IFYfwrAJ4yQfPVy5W8Yd8AZG_RoCF5Oo6trzY5WudNvJZ0/s1600/DSC00678.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEA4S-OAfUlzBlGblbHBigNKbkQLTd-SjM4zbJEbLnniYZ4clWrAATEbAEgLop_H7PdXvL1cFtoQmwOMrJ_dsvG5x7TtEh5IFYfwrAJ4yQfPVy5W8Yd8AZG_RoCF5Oo6trzY5WudNvJZ0/s400/DSC00678.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695107753064734914" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6x7d7UFqInITf8xEZmQ7N9tMK1ar0H81cHHzH6PKTWBSYEs5u23LTGSyAurRRZ1Mu4ieseXPJWxIowIkvOyZXU3Arv8U8MOpGq5zNxIq6fmCxWWFV826n4xOYuDGwi8S9pdfPQPa-Log/s400/DSC00633.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695107776949035442" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9AwHJLmh9GLbqX40dWJ1Fb_lUzShTpy-805mcP_nyQfWdOqBeu-mKOMeW4SejEziDjsPDzNVqmWIhRMkoZSleQasVG-fM3cS41h8RQa5vv9OhwKQQp91-CCzxb6MZpDrKyd8mN6bAztw/s400/DSC00656.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695107763373878930" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfxaw0GbRTXBDC_UKLGn0jVG2d4f6YQr-y1sbtxOx_K7-TZmJo9PQ3aRqDjRKg8gfIRZIOQn5w7ovuj0onzu6AS0rmkkO5QoumFUACTRHTkUlKVCd_G-7k8Kh2NIRTRPYWfdH_pw4lB8/s400/DSC00658.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695107768265425970" /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7vzQGWdUbHKXSgDM8Lr_aIkvJ0xF11cFidLEZUR0gtVP0PYbiRhn48ipPC-Dn4q49Ve1syUXGZMTSiXGeWD5eaNDn-jnisz-No-gtHeXLcPoOn559qMPuBwl_lLt_MyMu5bRFxVmttiA/s400/DSC00660.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695107756278474690" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">This year we are having a baby...Bring it on 2012!</div>Bryan and Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09241700710192374340noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571780670857581813.post-91797432352802480162012-01-07T20:00:00.001-08:002012-01-07T20:57:51.458-08:00Christmas<div style="text-align: center;">Merry Christmas everyone!

Since my mom and step dad go to Arizona to be with my step family and my dad spends Thanksgiving with his girlfriend and her family, Bryan and I don't have to spend our time jumping to a million different homes. We get to stick with his family and we are thankful for how easy it is. Bryan's Aunt Terry and Uncle Ronnie have a houseboat at Katherine's Landing in Lake Mohave and they were nice enough to host Thanksgiving weekend this year. My little brother, Dusty, got to join us. The houseboat was only 15 minutes from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Laughlin</span>, so we booked our hotel there. We had a blast! What made the weekend extra special is that Bryan's Aunt <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">LaDonna's</span> family flew out from Colorado to surprise Bryan's Grandma and Grandpa. It made the weekend complete! We drove around the lake in Grandpa Pat's patio boat and enjoyed the afternoon. We went to a buffet for Thanksgiving dinner and no one had turkey :) After dinner we walked around the casino and gambled. I got to teach my brother how to play craps which was really fun! The weekend ended with the family watching Elf. Thanksgiving was filled with family, love, and slot machines.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLd1gthq5-Bdhtd4kvZ2IU5ETUiFe5KtJlAf6esaTcfStztFFuv4MYKLAvFIJumPSEu1JwVN0Wx3lpN-pot9X3IQHhtcA8xi5w3RRMFvfSFru8tSQ11wPSQvmm2PdVKaw0oBCPxbD3D-w/s1600/DSC00532.JPG"><img style="display:block;

We are beyond excited. To celebrate and reveal the sex of the baby we had a gender reveal party. It was really important to Bryan and I that we find out the sex of the baby at the same time as everyone else. We had an ultrasound appointment on Friday to check the health of the baby as well as find out the sex. It was so neat to see our little baby. He's grown so much. We got to see his hands, feet, brain, and his little face. The ultrasound tech wrote down the sex and put it in an envelope. We took that envelope straight to Tall Mouse Craft store and had them put blue (for a boy) or Pink (for a girl) balloons in a box. Right before the party on Saturday I picked up the box with Jamie and she wrapped it so we couldn't peek at all. The party was amazing and I was so excited the whole time! It was wonderful to be surrounded by the people we love and care about. Thanks everyone for coming.
