Picture Update

A comment before I begin: I'm a little upset that our new 10.2 megapixel camera is not producing 10.2 megapixelish pictures. I apologize these are kind of blurry. I need to look at the settings or exchange it for a different one.

Owen and Rhett were supposed to open their new pajamas on Christmas Eve, but they didn't arrive in time, so we let them open their hats and gloves. It's been getting kind of chilly here in St. George, you know, 50 degrees or so.


Here's Owen getting warmed up to start opening presents on Christmas morning. He woke up about 30 minutes earlier than Rhett. The wait was killing him.


The opening of presents went a little something like this: Owen would rip into one of his presents, then it would be Rhett's turn. Rhett would start to open one of his presents, but would get bored in the process, then leave to go see what Owen had just opened. Owen ended up opening everything.


Here's Owen opening my favorite, um, I mean, his favorite present. Constructicon Devastator!!! 6 construction vehicles that transform into one giant Autobot crushing robot!!!


We caught Owen striking this pose multiple times Christmas morning.


Libby's first Christmas. She's a little too young to fully enjoy this play mat, but she'll grow into it.


My adorable kids. Does life get any better than this?


I think she's dreaming about sleeping, or milk, or her dad.


Here are the Christmas pajamas the boys were supposed to open on the 24th.


A little size comparison. We were trying to recreate THIS picture of Owen and Rhett.

Libby and Gram

She seems to have the bottle thing down. She's a smart girl. It's a good thing because the milk man hasn't shown up yet, if you know what I mean.

The Boys Approve

Owen loves her, and so far, Rhett does too. Hopefully that lasts. Notice the big bruise on Kim's arm from the iv.

Too Small for the Car Seat

We thought we were going home an hour ago, but we're still waiting for some lab results. Libby has been sleeping most of the day.

Pacifier

Libby had a great night. She had one stretch where she slept for 5 hours straight. She's figuring out how to eat. Her bowels are working like a charm. Her hair seems to be getting lighter, and she is getting cuter.

I Love the Number 13

So Libby's due date was the 13th. The delivery room was 319. The recovery room is 463. 3+1+9=13, 4+6+3=13. I turned 13 on October 13th. I think we'll keep her.

So Tired

She's all bathed, injected, and swaddled. Time for a nap.

Kim and Libby

Kim and Libby are both healthy and happy! 6 lbs 2 oz. 18 inches. 4:43pm. Happy birthday Libby!

She's here!

Anytime Now

The doc said she should be coming any time now. The nurse thinks there might be some umbilical cord in the way, because her heart rate keeps dropping. That would make sense if the cord is as long as Rhett's cord was.

Kim and JoEllyn

Libby is lucky enough to have both grandmas in town. JoEllyn is here at the hospital, and my mom is home with Owen and Rhett. We couldn't do it without them!

She's at a 7!

Kim's coworkers came over from the NICU with this baby crib and sign for Libby. They're all pretty excited to meet her. She should be making her appearance in the next few hours hopefully.

Epidural

Kim is getting the epidural now. Look at that smile on her face.

3 Minutes Apart

The contractions are pretty painful now. They're coming at 3 minute intervals. Kim just paged the nurse to get the epidural. It still blows my mind that she didn't have an epidural when Owen was born.

This is for Owen

Owen wanted to see more pictures, so here you go.

Kim wanted me to be in one of the pictures.

The water is broken. The contractions are getting more painful.

Side note: Our room number is 319. Add the digits together and you'll know why I'm happy with this room.

She's Happy Now

The heart monitor is on, she's dilated to a 4+ and 80% effaced, and the iv is about to be inserted.

We're here!

We got the call. We're at the hospital now.

Testing Testing 123

I haven't blogged from my phone since March of 2008, so this is just a test to make sure everything is working before Libby's big day.
