Mikaela finally leaving the hospital on 5/24/2007!Thank you for taking the time to come and see my website!  My name is Mikaela Nicole Montalván and I was finally born on 5/21/2007 (yes, my due date).  I was in my mom's tummy for exactly 40 weeks.  I was born via c-section at 7:37 PM at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland.  I was 19.5 inches long and my weight was 7.28 pounds at the time of birth.  The first person I saw was Daddy and then Mommy but I love them both the same of course.  Anyway, here are some pictures and videos of my life before and after birth, I hope you enjoy them as much as my parents do!

Pictures and Videos from 2006


My first ultrasound video, I was about 8 weeks old and as big as a baby shrimp...  Please have patience, my daddy tells me it takes a while to download this video...

My third ultrasound video (sorry no video for the second ultrasound, the health care provider would not share that with us), I was about 28 weeks old and looking and acting a lot more like a baby!  I would not move away from my mommy's comfy placenta so my face looks a bit weird...  I was a bit mad because my mom kept trying to make me move...  Please have patience, my daddy tells me it takes a while to download this video as well...

My third ultrasound pictures, again sorry that the pictures are not very clear but I just did not want to move much, I was awake all morning and then my parents decided I needed to stay awake during nap time for this ultrasound...  Needless to say I didn't want my nap interrupted and so they only got a few shots...
