May 20, 2008 - Here I am in the middle of a contraction....yeah! Our little bug was determined to have her birthday on the 20th. I started having contractions at about 7:00 am Tuesday morning and we were scheduled to have a c-section at 12:00 pm. Before we went in for the c-section, the contractions were about 3 1/2 minutes apart and were pretty intense. Although they were painful, I was happy in a way that I got to experience the "surprise" of when labor would begin.


May 20, 2008 - This is our "before" family picture. We dropped Aniston off at my parents before we went to the hospital to have our little bug. I was a bit anxious about leaving Aniston for three days, but she had no problem with it. As we were saying goodbye, she said, "Bye Mommy. Bye Daddy" and shut the front door.
May 19, 2008 - The "soccer ball jammies" are a HUGE hit! Aniston did not want to take her new Brazil Soccer uniform off under any circumstance. I was, however, able to get them off of her long enough to wash them. Every 15 to 20 minutes while they were being washed she asked for a "soccer ball jammies" update. As soon as they were clean, off came the real clothes and on came the soccer ball jammies once again.

May 19, 2008 - Aniston is really good about sleeping in her own bed, but occasionally she will climb into bed with us in the morning. It is amazing how much space a little body can take up on a bed...especially when she is laying horizontal.
