Happy Halloween!

We went trick or treating at the hospital! Brooklyn was pretty happy with all the candy she got!

Baby Spencer

We would like to welcome Spencer Curtis Gapinski to the family. He was born on October 25th at 7:08 am weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 3/4 inches long. Here is the story...

 I started having contractions at 6 pm on Wednesday night. They were very consistent but not very strong for  the next 4 hours. We couldn't decide whether or not to go the hospital because I didn't want to show up and only be dilated to a 1 and have to go home. We finally decided to go and arrived there around midnight. I was so happy to hear that I was already dilated to a 5! By 4 am I had made it to a 10. After 2 hours of pushing, we were not really making any progress- the baby was stuck. I was given the option of pushing for another hour or going in for a c-section. As much as I didn't want that, I didn't have the strength to keep pushing, so it was off to surgery.

It has been so nice to have Curtis home for a week to help out. He has been amazing! Brooklyn has really bonded with him which is good because she is kind of having a hard time adapting to having a new baby around.

This is one of my favorite pictures!
