DALLAS — For years, Makayla Thomas prayed for a baby. “I struggled with fertility for a while,” the North Texas woman told WFAA. In February, she and her husband Joe got their wish. “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh I’m finally pregnant!’ We’ve been together for 11 years.” Thomas started documenting milestones on her journey to motherhood, photographing and videotaping her pregnancy tests, sonograms, hospital visits and more.

DALLAS — The federal criminal trial for Dr. Raynaldo Ortiz, the Dallas anesthesiologist accused of tampering with IV bags, finished its first week Friday. Testimony resumes at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Jurors have Monday off because a prosecution witness is unavailable that day. Prosecutors told U.S. District Judge David Godbey they expect to rest their case next week, and defense attorneys said they might finish their portion of the case by late next week.
