Pictures for Grandpa

Neither of her Grandfather have seen the new baby yet. We thought they might like some more pictures. Note the fuzzy haired picture of her. That is the typical state of her hair.

Also these are as large as they can get so they might be a while to view the full size images. That is if you click on them it might take a while to load the big ones.

"Mother and baby are doing fine."

I forgot to post that the first day. Talking to a coworker I didn't realize I hadn't posted it. It is sort of required to say that after the birth. Unless there are problem, of course.

Work has been very busy this week in addition to a couple of busy little girls at home. The end result is that I haven't been able to post as many pictures as I wanted to. So I will post a slew of pictures this weekend.

Now and Then, part 2

With our first child the trip to the hospital was scheduled. My wife was a week over due and had an appointment to be induced set for noon. She woke up early that morning with mild contractions that occurred every 7-15 minutes until they stopped around 10 AM. So we hung out that morning and played video games. Then we picked up our bags and went to the hospital. We had time to pose for a picture before leaving.

Then

On Monday my wife went to her OB visit in the morning with no change from the week before. This was surprising because she had experienced 6 days of mild contractions (I posted about those last week). Then at 2:30 PM she wakes up from a nap with strong contractions and they got worse there. She called me at work at 3 and I rushed home. We had time to hesitate for a picture before we ran out the door.

Now and then, part 1

I am fascunated with these two little girls. I am going to start a continuing series on the simularities and differences between them.

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog

We all arrive home safely. Our oldest was a bit too excited to see her tiny baby sister come home we had to take her for a walk to calm down. She missed her mommy.

I get to go sleep after I put together the basinet. When I get up tomorrow morning we'll see if I go to work. Don't worry my wife has her mom here to help. I will take some time off work in a couple weeks.

Two Little Sisters

Give the baby loves!

Welcome home, baby.
Good night, Baby.

Coming Home Today

We are coming home from the Hospital today. I have to run back and pick them up.

Tiny Baby is so tired she has slept most of her first 24 hours of life (5:18 is coming up shortly, we are on California time here). It will be fun to get to know her after she starts being awake more. The good news is that her mother and I got 4 hours of sleep at the hospital last night.

First Pictures

Hello Baby.

Yes, she has hair.

Good night, baby.

On second thought...

(I am not sure why two of the pictures don't let you click on them.)

She has arrived.

She was born at 5:18 pm after a short labor session. She weighs 7 lbs and 8 oz and it 20 1/2 inches long. I will have some pictures on the site before I go to bed. I would be posting some now but I didn't think to take the camera with me.

I am still a little hesitant to give out personal information on the internet in a public forum, but anyone who wants to send me an email I will send back the name.

(ooops I had a typo, I said 5 lbs initially, she is seven pounds)

Contractions

Nothing new. She has been having contractions for the last 5 days. The first three days it was three hours of contractions ten minutes apart and then they stopped.

Yesterday they went on for closer to six hours.

Looks like progress to me but I am not pregnant.

No baby yet. We'll start there.

This blog will be updated at least daily and also when something happens. When the baby is born I will post here within a couple hours, with pictues. In the mean time here is some pictures of the current family.
