A Few of My Firsts

I am growing up so fast. I have recently found my thumb and love to suck on it all day long. Mommy lets me...for now. I have a few new toys to stare at and am starting to grab at them...but not while on my back, I hate being on my back. I also tried my first bites of rice cereal...it's fun...to spit out. Too much work for now so I think I'll stick to milk for a little longer.

First Halloween 2007

My first Halloween!! We went to a pumpkin patch with cousin Shaylee...It was very muddy and very busy. Halloween night we stayed home and handed out candy to all the trick or treaters. There were lots of fun costumes and I was smiling at all the kids...until the high school kids started knocking. No one else came by after that...maybe cause mommy turned off the lights. (Darn those high school kids).

My First Month

Krystiana's due date was July 30th, 2007. Two weeks before her due date I was having some strange contractions so decided to go into the hospital to see what was going on. An ultrasound quickly revealed the cause of my discomfort...She never turned and was in breech position. After unsuccessfully trying to turn her around (something I never want to experience again) we were told a c-section was our only option.
My c-section was scheduled for a week later. I showed up to the hospital at 6am and she was born by 8:48am. After nine months of anticipation for what birth was going to be like...no contractions, no labor, nothing! I had my beautiful baby girl and didn't have to do any work! She came out screaming and the nurses instantly commented on how much she looked like her daddy.
