James is a fantastic Big Brother. He gives her kisses and pets her head. Now, he has his moments when he is a bit jealous but most of the time he gives kisses and pets her. He is going to be her protector, I think. I know he loves her.

Alina will be a month soon and I can't believe how fast the time has gone.
Now here is my birth story: (Here are some acronyms that you will see.
DTD- Doing the dance (sex)
L&D-Labor & Delivery
Epi- Epidural
DH- Dear Husband)

So it started off on June 15th, a Tuesday. A few days before I had went into Early labor, nothing the doctors could do about it besides let me labor at home. I was a 3 and wasn't progressing anymore. So on June 14th, I did some acupressure and walking. June 15th, We DTD and walked. After DTD i was contracting pretty good but didn't want to go in in fear of being sent home. The contractions got stronger at about 6pm and got intolerable at 7pm. 8pm came and I knew I had to go in. My friend came over for a little bit and then she was gonna take me in to L&D. I didn't want DH to miss work unless it was the real thing but his supervisors wife was gonna watch James. As I dropped him off, Dh's supervisor called him and even though I told DH to just stay at work until I know for sure, he wouldn't. He pulled my friend and I over and I switched cars. Dh drove 90 down the freeway with the hazards on.
Got to the hospital at about 9pm and was 4CM dilated and 90% effaced. The doctor told me I was for sure staying. Walking was intolerable so I just laid in the tub. At about 12am or so i was at a 7 and then an 8. I got my EPI and then they broke my water. I started pushing at around 8:30am, I pushed for twenty minutes and little Alina Maelin Morrison was born at 8:49AM. She weighed 9 pounds 2 oz, 20 3/4 inches long.
