Such a cuddly baby

Looking less and less like an alien and more and more like Megamind!

Baby's Birthday - For real this time.

Go Team Baby!

Baby's Birthday - Almost....

This baby boy was due February 25th. I was convinced he would come early. I didn't even think I would be able to finish up my work week before my maternity leave started. February 25th came and went. February 26th and 27th crawled by too. This was the first lesson of patience I learned as a new parent. Finally, after large quantities of green chile and long walks I started to feel like it was time. The morning of the 28th Jerry, Mom and my doula Megan took me to the hospital. Its time! Its time! Or so I thought. Little did I know what adventure was waiting for me at the hospital. 32 hours of adventure in fact! I walked around the halls of the hospital, stopping every few feet to crouch down to the floor and grimace for a minute or two while my sweet husband tried to make me eat a sub sandwich. I was finally given a room with an incredible view of the city. Even with Jerry, Mom, Dad and my doula, it took another day for the baby to come. I think I squeezed Mom's hands so hard she will always have bruises from that day.

It took a whole village to bring this baby into the world. I think I met everyone on the staff those few days. Thank you Albuquerque for all your help!
