Halloween!!!

 Here is Matti and Sophie at our trunk or treat in the ward. After they were all worn out and got lots of candy, they wanted to hand out the candy.

 Trick or treating at grandma christy's and papa ernies house.

Here are all the cousins(those that are here) ready to go trick or treating. Oh man, are the excited!!!!! Matti was a butterfly. We had the wings and i bought a leotard(pink of course) and we made the anntannes out of a head band and ryan got some springs and i spray painted some foam balls and screwed them in the springs. She was adorable!!! And little Sophie, she was a biker chick of course!!! She rocked that outfit!!!I got a leather pant and jacket suit from a thrift store several years ago and matti had worn that one just 2 years ago. Cute little girls!!!

First family pictures with baby!

 Sophie holding baby for the first time......precious face!

 Matti holding baby sister for the first time.....precious too!

First family picure....not the best, but still cute!!!

 This is me and Ryan just waiting......and waiting.....and waiting like i always do for my sweet baby to decide she wants to come out. I am always, or so far have been induced all 3 times. More for my own selfish reasons wanting to be done and terrified to go on my own. I know, i am weird like that.

 After about 7 hours of sitting and waiting and getting an epiderral that still did NOT work like it should and throwing up because of it, I was told i was ready to push! yay, i always look forward to that part not just to have the baby, but for some WEIRD reason, i love love love to do the whole labor part. It is NEVER easy, and is always really long and hard, but i just love to do it and the result is just the best thing ever. Better than chocolate!!!! =)I only pushed for about 20 minutes which was AWESOME!!! He said it wouldnt take long, but i just didnt believe him because i was told that with Matti and Sophie and i pushed for many hours
                                    
 with them. But it was true, 20 mintues!!!!The labor part was easy, but their were fun complications afterward. I wont get into too much details, but clotting and pushing on my belly FOREVER(worst pain i have ever felt), and lots of throwing up, and then stitches even though i didnt tear with the labor part.....yep, lets just say that the Dr had to get the blood clotts out with his hand.Oh, the joy of having a baby!!!!

Here is my Dr( Dr Jackson) which is my sisters's best guy friend growing up who i knew VERY well. Awkward you might ask? Actually no. At first i thought it might be, but i knew how much he actually cared about me and my baby and it was fun seeing him every visit and just chatting.And my nurse, Sunny.......she was the BEST!!!!!
