December! Already!
Had plans to make a cup of hot chocolate all day, just to celebrate the season... I'm sure I'll get to it tomorrow.
It was a busy week. This was the beginning... lying in bed timing contractions and watching Maeser sleep- the only time he is in a peaceful quiet state.
Moses was born on Wednesday, (3 1/2 weeks early, maybe less). Sarah and Rocky and Dan's parents were all in town for Thanksgiving. Having contractions, we left Sarah and Rocky in their bathing suits with our children (postponing the trip to the water park for only an hour) and went in to get checked. The doctor said he would schedule the operation room and that the baby would be here by noon. Relief!
He was wise to schedule it immediately because sometime in the next 45 minutes, up to when the baby was born, we ran into some complications and some major repair work was needed to patch up my uterus. TMI? After the baby was born he put me to sleep and sent Dan out. I woke up in ICU two hours later and spent the night under observation with a pick and drain. Everything has been best case scenario since then and we are all home. Having skipped Thanksgiving dinner- I can't wait until Christmas!
My Thanksgiving dinner and the first meal I ate after the baby- it was delicious. (Chicken and onion gruel.)
Little Mo- Moses Lamond Hughes is 6 lbs and 18.25 inches and just as adorable and alien looking as any other newborn. So thankful he is here and healthy!
I have slept almost 18 hours a day since- Dan managing everything with the kids. In his words:
It's not so bad getting up with the kids when someone is happy to see you. (She always wakes up this happy.)
To Maser's dismay, Dallin has returned to Utah to enter the MTC.
I think Dan's ironman training has taken a huge hit this week. Only a couple runs in, but he did capture this amazing view of the jungle forest right outside our house.
And then he sent me this from his morning run... Yes, it is just as big as it looks!
Recovery is slow, but as long as Dan is serving up breakfast in bed, I'll take it. So much to be thankful for this year. Dan, the children, family, baby Moses...

Running out of stuff in the freezer with me in charge here. Wonder if Magnum delivers.

With Dallin gone, Mary and Abe have been picking up the slack. (Dan sent me the photo below, total heart melt...)
