It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas......



This past sunday Holden was baptized at our church. I was so proud of him....he didn't even cry. I was a little worried, actually a lot worried that he was going to scream throughout the entire thing.  Our families were there as well as most of our good friends. It was so nice to have so much support on such a special day.  We are so blessed!  Now I am in extreme Christmas mode. All of the shopping and wrapping is done, and now all I have to is start enjoying the festivities, and cook of course!  We have so much planned for the next two weeks I hope I can keep up!

and then there were three......

 Finally on September 9th 2010 I went into labor.  My contractions started about 8p.m. and we left for the hospital around 2:30 a.m.  We called our parents around 5 and by 6 everyone was at the hospital.  Everything was going great, and I decided to get an epidural at 8 a.m and they broke my water.  I was 6 cm dialated and the doctor came in at 11:00 and said the baby's heartrate was dropping when I had contractions so they were going to monitor him a little closer.  About 10 minutes later the doctor came back and said that I needed a C-Section and at 11:24 a.m on September 10th 2010 we finally met our little boy Holden via emergency c-section. It wasn't exactly how I had pictured it, but it was wonderful hearing him cry and seeing all a0 fingers and toes!  Since that day my life has changed so much, and I have never been happier. Our family is so full of love that it could explode!
Holden will be three months old tomorrow and I can't believe how much he has already grown.  We are looking forward to having our first Christmas together!
