Isn't She Lovely?

Shake, Shake, Shake Señora!

Another edition of my document-Eleanor's life so far-series. This is our 'belly party' video, or all the fun we had in being pregnant and expecting our little peanut. Since she was a surprise we normally called her whatever "size" my iphone app told me -- so pea-baby grew into blue-baby, then mango-baby, then basketball baby at the end!

I had such a great pregnancy (thanks Mom for the good genes!!) and had pretty smooth sailing except for the famous frozen yogurt meltdown. (no footage there....dang....some things are better left for the imagination, especially since the image of me weeping over watermelon sorbet is probably etched into my poor husband's conscience forever.

Enjoy!

Eleanor's Birth Video

A more nostalgic (and shorter...e.g. 29 hours into 3 minutes) version of the arrival of our darling firstborn. Rated PG. (ok...maybe PG-13...I'm in the tub but you don't see anything...although believe me I was stark naked by the end of the birth and didn't give a hoot about it)








Yes it took 10 months to finish it -- but now I can look at the footage and not feel the contractions/pressure waves/ infant skull-crushing against my backbone and pelvis-labor. Now I just cry and get excited for the next one. :-)
