Antonella Week 2

  Week 2 was wonderful. Antonella is such a sweet baby, she smiles all the time and she loves music and being in the middle of the action. When she falls asleep during the day and we put her in her crib in the room she wakes up within minutes, if we leave her in the living room and she hears voices she sleeps comfortably.  Her newborn clothes are fitting properly now, I am having a hard time seeing her change so much and grow,...

Antonella's Birth Story

So, as I said it all started with Batman on August 15th; contractions were 4 and a 1/2 minutes apart during the movie and by the time we made it home they were 3 and a 1/2 minutes apart. Caleb called the midwife and she wanted to talk to me, I had a contraction while I was on the phone with her and she said "I think you should come in." So I showered, I changed clothes, Caleb made sure everything we needed was in the car, grandma and mom helped...

Antonella Week 1

In her first week...

Batman induces labor

We haven't been writing much because we had our baby!! Last Thursday she came and I am writing bits and pieces of the birth story to share here, it was quite the experience.  But here is the fun beginning. Wednesday we decided to go to the movies looking for a cool place where I could sit and relax (the weather in San Diego has been crazy and going all the way up to 90 with humidity which is so unlike our beautiful city). So we decide...

My belly's progression

    And here is my belly progression. It's surreal to see them all together. I can't believe I carried her for over 41 weeks. And she grew inside of me, and we became best friends as we felt each other move. We learned about each other; she learned I dance with daddy often, I learned she wakes up at 4am. She learned I don't eat spicy food, I learned she gets the hiccups...
