Liam David



Our new nephew and cousin!

Christmas 2009


This year was my Mom and Dad's turn to be with "all the girls". It was so much fun to spend time with my sisters and let our kiddos play and be outside together in sunny California weather. Here are some of my favorite things from the trip.

Neal's Story


I decided I wanted him to come early...
So I had my Dr. strip my membranes on Wed morning. Unfortunately this didnt do much for me
I had my Dr. strip my membranes again on Thursday morning at 9
I dropped off some things at DI and then went home
By 10:30 I was having contractions every 3-5 minutes
I called the Dr. office and asked what I should do because they were not painful but consistent
Off to the hospital we went
They monitored me for an hour and I was staying the same 4 cm dilated
So we went to In n Out (still having sporadic contractions)
I told Josh to go run his errands and I would call him often and keep him posted
By 4:00 they were still sporadic, but starting to get more painful
I decided that I wanted to move things along quickly so I tried pumping some milk
Josh came home to me crying on the bed, bags packed, and Grace with her cousins. I was READY to go
We checked in at the hospital at 5 and I was dilated to a 5
I had to wait for 30 min for a delivery room to open up and get cleaned
Then off to the delivery room and my heavenly epidural
They gave me a little pitocin and checked me at 7:45 and I was 10cm
I pushed through 3 contractions and Neal was here! Perfect and healthy
