Welcome Aidan!

After 24 hours of contractions and no progress, we decided on a c-section. Everything moved very fast after that and at 5:03 p.m. on November 1st we had our beautiful baby boy - Aidan Thomas! He was born a month premature but still weighed in at 6 pounds, 10 ounces. He was taken to the baby ICU where he stayed until November 11th.

Halloween Baby??

At the end of October, due to high blood pressure and early signs of preclampsia, my doctor put me on bedrest and then later admitted me to the hospital. On Halloween they decided to try to induce me because they were worried about my health and the health of the baby. Here are some pictures from the 24 hours they tried to induce. (I have very vague memories of this time--GO EPIDURALS!)
