So, long story short... Allison Canella (Allie) was born on Sep. 7th.  I was watching a scary movie and right as King Kong was attacking I felt a giant pop.  I didn't know what it was but had to go to the bathroom instantly (I'm assuming my water broke but it wasn't obvious).  I sat back down and had the worst contraction ever and instantly knew I was in labor after that one single contraction.  I called Mike downstairs and two minutes later had another horrible contraction.  Yes, I went from nothing to instantly two minutes apart and painful contractions.  The hospital took way too long to give me the epidural but shortly after they gave it to me I had Allie.  She cried when she came out and then they laid her on my chest and she turned blue and stopped breathing.  They whisked her away, gave her Oxygen, cleaned out her lungs, and were rubbing her to warm her up.  30 seconds later she started breathing with the Oxygen and 2 minutes later she could breath on her own.  It was a SCARY two minutes!!  They thought something was wrong with her heartbeat, but after a few tests the doctor was luckily incorrect and Allie was fine.  Carol helped with the kids on Sunday while we were in the hospital which was nice. 

Allie is wonderful!  She is so cute and smiley!  The kids absolutely adore her and fight over who gets to look at her or hold her.  :)  We have been struggling with nursing though.  I got mastitis which led to thrush which led low milk supply.  She wasn't gaining weight and I've had to supplement a little in the evenings.  Now I'm pumping a lot to increase my milk supply and it's been a big pain. 

Life is a little crazy right now with little sleep, constant feedings, and the kids being in four different school, but we're surviving.  Things will calm down soon enough.  My parents came up for Allie's baby blessing which was nice and the kids performed "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus" on the same Sunday. 

Tomorrow is Halloween and Allie looks so cute in her Super Girl costume.  Heidi has been super great and has been taking Emma on Wednesdays to a dance class with Halley and then over to her house so Emma can play with Halley.  It's been super nice.  Also, Halley and Emma are in the same class at school which is fun.

I'm sure there has been a lot more, but I need to go feed Allie again.  :)
