Sunday's Child Full of Grace

We welcomed our precious little boy into the world on Sunday night Aug. 24th. I went into labor early that morning, about 3am. We headed for the hospital around 11am. Contractions were unpredictable so I waited to have the epidural knowing it would slow down the process. Around 4pm I was more than ready for the pain to stop! The doctor's began to induce labor around 9pm and shortly after it was time to push! Dominic made his appearance at 11:04pm. A long day for us all! Chris was there to cut the cord. He watched the whole process and held his ground! I was so proud! The hospital released us with a clean bill of health on tuesday and we have been home adjusting to one another and our new schedules. We think he is the cutest thing ever! I am sure you will all agree! What a precious gift from God!

Welcome Dominic

Mom and Baby are both doing good.

RMCC Shower

Aug. 9th was my final shower at church. Yes, having 4 showers was crazy and yes I do have that many friends (everyone keeps asking me that!). It's a blessing! Krystal and Stephanie, 2 of my closest friends in AZ hosted it. We had great girl time hanging out together. Baby Dominic is ready to go and in position. All signs are pointing to any day now....so where is he?! I've had 3 or 4 days/nights full of contractions and then...nothing. I guess he is just gonna take his sweet time! Everyone's bags are packed and ready to go. We scared the waiter at Cheesecake Factory on Friday because he thought I was going to go into full labor right at the table....no such luck! Chris and I drove home from there peacefully, but my mom on the other hand was having a nervous breakdown in her car! As usual, Friday night was full of contractions but no baby!
Other news on the horizon.....Chris starts A/C school on friday. He is looking forward to it although he will be away from home more. I took my HUGE and STRESSFUL test at the AZ Assembly of God district office on friday morning to become a certified minister. I have one more interview in front of the General Council in Sept. and then I will have my official title. You can officially call me Pastor Kara at that point = )
10 baby days and counting..........
