More about Sadie

Here are a few more pictures from the hospital of our family, most importantly our little angel.

The boys love her and are always telling me they want to hold her, usually when I'm feeding her.  When she cries Keagan tells her, "Hey Seedee, you o-tay."

And here are some pictures of the bedroom Daddy made his little princess. In case you're wondering, we no longer have an office. =( But it's worth it.

Welcoming...

SADIE ANNE GONZALES

Sadie was born Thursday night at 6:30 pm, by c-section (sad, but oh well).  We are doing good.    Labor just didn't progress fast enough.  After 10 hours, I was still only dilated to a 3, and the one doctor in her practice that wouldn't agree to a VBAC was on call that night, so it was a no go after 6.  I'm up and moving around during the day, evenings are a bit more difficult.  

Sadie was a little thing, 6 lbs. 4 oz. and 19.5".


Having a new baby is great because all your friends and family call and come by just to see how you're doing. Most of my family came by that night, and Michael's sister Christine, too.  Then Michael's parents unexpectedly called, and then stayed up late to video skype with us for about 15 minutes. That was fun.

Okay, so, I'll backtrack just a few minutes. When the last two were born Michael and my mom were both there.  Marinda was there when Zander was born.  This time the doctor had to play our advocate and talk the anesthesiologist into allowing Marielle to be in there. She is up from Phoenix to watch. She's taking a class to become a certified birthing instructor and part of the requirements is that she must watch  births. Here's a fun picture of the three of us going in to surgery.  

Latest Update

Thanks to my sister and my birthday last month, I spent a day at the salon last week being pampered.  I had my hair done, had my blond highlights touched up and also some red highlights added.  I also had a pedicure and have very cute purple toes right now.  I also thought I would throw in a pregnancy picture, since hopefully I won't look that way for long.

I was scheduled for a c-section this coming Tuesday Jan. 13, but we've decided it's reasonable to try for a vaginal birth this time.  So we moved the c-section to the 20th, my actual due date, and are hoping that I go into labor on my own before then.  With school starting in 2 days, I'm hoping the recovery will be shorter if I can have a regular delivery. 

As for our Christmas, it was crazy and wonderful as usual.  We went sledding Christmas Eve with Michael's family, then had dinner with my family.  Then Christmas morning, we opened our presents, went to my parents and opened more, then went to Michael's family for one more round.  Here are a few pictures.
