Wedding Cupcakes

I made these for a friend at work. She is having her "real" reception back home in Michigan, but wanted these for the small banquet directly following her wedding here in San Diego.

Welcome Ronin Nalini MacDonald!

Born October 4, 2007. 6lbs. 9oz, 19 in.





While Chrissy was sleeping she was having "painless" contractions that registered to the top of the chart! Really...No pain meds, no epidural AND on pitocin!

Playing the waiting game...Chrissy's water broke at 5am on Tuesday morning, but labor didn't really start until just after midnight. Then within half an hour Ronin was born. All four of Chrissy's deliveries have been made without a doctor present. She's just too fast! This time he was just down the hall, but still couldn't make it. The nurse told her not to push yet, but the baby came out anyway. Women everywhere should be envious!

Lots of visitors....
