Here is Malana's dance recital. Don't mind the shakiness at first I was nervous for her and couldn't stop, it gets better. Oh and watch at the end how she has to run off to be the first one to the end practically mowing over the girl in front of her... I have no idea where she gets her competitiveness from :)

Malana's dance recital
Malana had her first ever dance recital on the 20th and 21st of May. She has been taking dance classes from her Aunt Dayna. Dayna does an awesome job at teaching all of the little girls that dance is fun, and still teaching them structure at the same time. Malana did awesome! She was so cute! I am going to post a video, but I have to use my home computer which is slow, so it may be a while. For now here are some super cute pictures of her all ready to go!

Persephanie!!!!!!
We went into the hospital at about 7:15 am on the 28th to be induced. I was a little nervous, but really excited to have her here! After we got all of the paperwork done they started me on pit at around 8:30. I started having contractions immediately but they were relatively painless. My Dr. came in at about 9:15 to break my water. He said that I was at a 3, and after he broke it the contractions started getting more intense. I got an epidural at about 10:30, he had to do it twice which was extraordinarily unpleasant, but worth not feeling the pain. The contractions were getting more frequent and stronger when the nurse came in at 1:15 and said that the Dr. had an emergency at the other hospital so they were going to turn down the pit until the Dr. would be available. The monitor showed that my contractions were getting less strong, and further apart and more erratic, so we thought that I had probably stopped dilating, and that it would be a little while. I started feeling immense pressure, and the epidural was wearing off a little at about 2:30. The nurse came in at 2:45 and said the Dr. was back so she was going to turn the pit up to get me going again, I told her I felt a lot of pressure and that I was starting to get a little bit of feeling back. She said that she would check me and then call the anesthesiologist to check my meds, when she checked me she got a slightly panicked look and said that I was at a full ten and more then ready to push, the anesthesiologist came in at 2:55 and gave me a booster, which definitely worked. The Dr. came in at about the same time. They prepped me and I started pushing at 3:00, I pushed through three contractions and she was born at 3:07. We were so glad to meet her! My body did much better on the recovery this time. I didn't have to take any pain meds after delivery and I really did feel great, such a different experience than with Malana. Persephanie weighed 7 pounds and 15 ounces and was 20 and 3/4 inches long, and perfect in every other way. At first we thought that her hair was light like Lana's but it is more of a medium brown. The nurses called her the piranha because the first time she nursed she did such a great job of latching on, and nursing has been great since then, once again totally different than Malana. She has been such an easy baby so far, and I had forgotten how wonderful it is to hold and cuddle a newborn.
