Lucetta Mae Kroger is here!

Proud papa!! He is smitten!

Man that was tiring!

Finally!! I went into labor early Saturday morning the 20th of September. My contractions were almost immediately every 5 minutes! I labored until 3pm without meds then started triple contractions!! I then decided to go with the drugs. I got to 9 1/2 cm at 2am, finally the pushing would begin. Then my cervix got swollen and we realized that the baby was posterior or in a face up presentation rather then face down with her head and neck best backwards. (made sense I had back labor all day) So after a LONG day of labor I tearfully agreed to a C-section. It was safer for me and the baby!

Lucetta Mae was born at 2:44am on Sunday September 21st! We are so happy she is finally here. She has been a joy so far. She sleeps great, we have to wake her to feed! She has also taken to breast feeding very well. I think I will need the patience for that! Here are a few pics!

Labor Day weekend!

We went to Washugal where my sister and her family were for the weekend. They camped at the motorcross track and my 5 year old nephew Ajay has been racing this summer. He is doing quite well for his first year! He seems to be one of the younger ones racing in his class!
