Happy Birthday! Its a ….
We arrived at the hospital around 6:30 AM 4/18 to begin the induction. The night leading up to the induction was not as restful as we had hopped– Ofelia apparently got a stomach bug and woke several times during the night to empty her stomach over her bedding and pajamas! That, was not what we had planned! I guess this is foreshadowing of what things can be like with more than one child…
By 11AM the contractions were getting a little stronger, but not yet painful.
3PM: Consistent contractions, but still not painful. Lots of waiting. Weylin has completed 2 Sudoko puzzles on the G-phone (I’m trying to stay sharp for the big push!).
4PM: The pain has arrived!!! Here comes the intensity…
9:09PM: Mateo is Born!!! We have a new son! The newest and youngest subscriber to this blog! 21 inches; 9 pounds 1 ounce.
Mateo and his mother are happy and healthy. Katherine did a great job and made it all the way through labor without pain meds! What a trooper she is!

Yay for the Mortingames! Yay for Mateo! Congratulations you guys! We can’t wait to meet him. Katherine, you’re making all other women look bad with this no pain meds stuff.
We love and miss you, and really wish we could be there to give you hugs in person. Happy birthday Mateo!
Much love,
Jason & Molly
