She has arrived

Raelynn has arrived. She decided to grace our presence after putting Precia through 22 hours of labor and a C-section. She was born on April 23rd at 4:38am. Everyone is healthy and Raelynn is growing like a weed. Sorry it took so long to get this update here, but as you can imagine having a baby in the house can consume quite a bit of time. Everyone is doing well. Here are some pictures of our baby girl. She had her first doctors appointment and had gained a pound and grew an inch after just 4 days.

40 + 2

Well, 40 weeks has come and gone, and we still don't have a baby. Things were looking up last night, however it all turned out to be false alarms as the contractions stopped when Precia switched positions. So we continue to wait. Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer, it is very difficult being patient at this point as we have waited so long. With as much as Raelynn is bumping around in there you would think she is ready to bust out at any given time, and that is what the doctors tell us. "It can be any day now so be ready." We have been ready since week 36, lets get this moving. All we can do is wait and so that is what we will do.

The Return

As I was leaving work today, I decided to stop at my LHS and see what games they may have that I had not played yet. As Precia and I are really just starting to enter into the realm of hobby style games the list is quite vast. As I was browsing the aisles of the store one box stuck out at me and I remember hearing about it on Diggnation , a weekly video podcast of the top stories on digg.com , the game, Munchkin . So as I was pondering which edition to get I asked the salesman there if they had the original version of the game, unfortunately they were sold out. He recommended a couple of the "expansion" boxes to me. I use the term expansion loosely as many of them can be played without having the original version of the game. So I picked up Munchkin Impossible, a fun little twist on the Mission Impossible and the James Bond style spy movies. Our friends Rachel and Amanda had been on a trip the past week and had just returned on Thursday night so we had planned a night o...

Week 31.5 - Baby, and Room Update

So we had a very busy weekend. We meaning Precia, our friend Joe, and myself primed the baby's room and were also able to get it painted and put up the wallpaper border. So now that those steps are completed we can move on to putting the baseboards back on and getting all of the furniture moved back into the room. So if all goes well, short of haning the curtains the room will be finished this week. YAY! We also had another ultrasound yesterday and we found out that she is still a girl so that is good news to mom who had a girl shower planned and there was no going back. :-) We also found out that Raelynn decidied to co-operate and turn over so she is no-longer breech YAY!(and there was much rejoicing) This means that Precia will get a shot at natural birth which is what she wanted in the first place. If Raelynn had remained breech then Precia would have been scheduled for a C-section. All is well with both mom and baby and things seem to be progressing nicely.

Baby Update

Today is the beginning of week 30. Wow it doesn't seem like that much time has actually passed. The big day is officially right around the corner and there are a number of things that need to be done to get ready. We now have all of the wall paper off of the walls in the nursery and I think that we will start priming the walls for paint tomorrow, by we I mean me, and maybe dad if I can con him into it with a free lunch. :-) Precia is doing much better now, though entering the 3rd trimester has been easier than the last two people keep telling us that it will not be that great by the end. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. Stayed tuned for more info in the coming weeks.
