Here are pictures of our Christmas Eve angel.

Right after he was born they put him on my now smaller tummy.

I was in such awe of him. I'm very happy that he's here.

What a sweet face... even with all the gunk.

Thumbs up.

Grandma and Grandpa Pedraza were the first to visit.

Followed by Grandma Williams.



What a perfect face.

Birth Story

Parker Easton Anderson was born at 10:28am on December 24th at 7lbs 9oz and 20in long. Here is the story on how he got here:

On Wednesday night at about 11pm I started having contractions about 8 minutes apart. Shane and I decided to go on a walk to see if we could get them stronger and closer together. They started coming about 3-5 minutes apart. Once we got home and rested they were every 2 1/2 minutes. Even though they were really light I wanted to go to the hospital and hopefully get admitted (I was 4 1/2cm dilated and 80% thinned at my doctor's appt earlier that afternoon).

We arrived at the hospital around 1:30 Thursday morning and I was sent to Triage to check my contractions. They were still coming close together but I hadn't dilated any more. Luckily I knew the triage nurse from work (she's a patient at the Chiropractor's office) and she admitted us at 3am. By then I was 5 1/2cm and 90% thinned.

They hooked me up to my IV and started my first dose of antibiotics (I tested positive for group B strep). I got my epidural at 5am and the doctor broke my water at 5:30. We rested until about 7 when our delivery nurse, Seanna, came. I got my second dose of antibiotics. My contractions were coming about every minute. At 8:30 I was 9cm and 100% thinned.

At 10:00 our doctor came in and I was ready to push. I pushed for half an hour and Parker came at 10:28.

Everything went so smoothly. The best part was that I didn't have any pain at all. Parker was healthy and didn't have any signs of group B strep. We were able to go home Christmas afternoon.

We're so thrilled that he's here now. He's perfect! He barely cries and is the cutest thing ever! Welcome Parker! We love you!

Pregnant Pictures!

Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving with Shane's side of the family. This year it was held at Unlce Tim's house which, thankfully, was is Queen Creek. We had lots of fun and tons of food!

Here I am at almost 36weeks (8months) pregnant.


Here's the crazy family!

Me and Shane. We love each other. =)

On black Friday we woke up early in the morning with the rest of the crazy shoppers. We found some great deals on clothes and movies. Surprisingly we only spent about 5 minutes in line at each store. The only down side of the morning; having to throw up. Sorry Kohl's parking lot!

We have so many things to be thankful for:

Our house

Our great jobs

Our wonderful family and friends

and a healthy baby boy on the way.
