About Our Beginnings...

My photo
Hiro was born January 17th at 12:07 am at Kaiser hospital, 48 hours after the water broke. It was a natural birth, and a very positive experience. Judah was born January 1, 2010 at 1:08 pm 7 hours after the water broke. Judah was delivered at Andaluz Waterbirth center, which was a completely magical experience that we highly recommend to anyone having a normal healthy pregnancy. Malakai was born on December 23, 2011 after three days of inactive labor labor and three hours of active labor (three hours after the water broke). Kai was born at Andaluz as well, this time in "Sienna" the red room. It was a relaxing and delightful way to spend our first Christmas with Malakai.

Snow and New Years

SNOW!!!
After Christmas, Nat got really sick with a fever and bad cough. Erin and Hiro went to stay in Vancouver for a few nights to avoid her getting sick right before labor. It was just our luck that it SNOWED while we were away from each other! Hiro really enjoyed the snow and made snowmen with Papa. Poor Nat tried to get to us, but instead got stuck in the worse traffic Portland has had in 20 years! It took him 3 hours to move 4 exits (just a few miles). He ended up stranded at a pie house until midnight. Luckily, labor did not start for a few more days!
Hiro making his snow bear...he added the ears all by himself without any help!

NEW YEARS EVE
A few days later, the snow was thawed and everything was more or less back to normal.
We decided to spend New Years Eve at Ashley and Andy's party...it was great!
We ended up staying up that night til 2am reading...
and at 4:45 am the next morning, Erin's waterbroke, and you know the rest of that story!!!
