2010 Recap, Part 1

I can't believe 2010 is over. It was an amazing year filled with so many different emotions. Here is a recap of our year in pictures!!

 January

29 weeks pregnant taken 1/11/2010

 30 weeks, taken 1/23/2010

January 2010 we were just barely starting the third trimester of my pregnancy. I continued to work and we anxiously continued the progression of my pregnancy.

February

 Kevin's 3D ultrasound picture, our Valentines gift to each other.

Right before we left to have our 3D ultrasound done. 33 weeks pregnant, taken 2-8-2010

February seemed to go by very fast. For Valentines Day we decided to go have a 3D ultrasound done of our baby. Even though he was awake right before we went, he slept all through the ultrasound. Either way we were still so very excited to get a sneak peek at our adorable baby boy.

March

 37 weeks pregnant, taken 3-7-2010

 39 weeks pregnant, taken 3-20-2010

39 weeks plus 5 days... almost to my due date. Taken 3-27-2010.

March went by fairly quickly. We started getting emergency work numbers set up for Ken in case I went into labor. I started seeing the Dr. once a week and each time I had no progress. Ken and I both celebrated our 22nd birthdays (8th and 9th) and on the 25th we had my sister Amanda and my other Mom, Alese, come up to hopefully be here to welcome baby Kevin into the world.

April

 My last pregnancy picture. I was 40 weeks plus 4 when they decided to induce my labor. Taken 4-2-2010

 23 hours and one C-section later our baby was finally here!!

 Bright eyed and alert. Ken was taking pictures in the nursery while I was in the recovery room.

 Holding my son for the first time.

April started out on a sad note, we had to say goodbye to my sister and Mom-A without them being able to meet Kevin. The day after they left the Doctors decided it was best to induce my labor. I spent 23 hours in labor before Kevin was born via Cesarean birth. It was by far one of the most amazing experiences in my life. We spent the remainder of the month learning from each other, adapting to being parent's and learning to trust one another. It was definitely tough having absolutely no one here to help us but it made us incredibly strong and really taught us how to rely on each other.
