Day 3 and we are not too sleep deprived yet. We have had lots of grandparents over to help while we catch some naps here and there. Zoey finally goes to sleep around 4am and is quite content and sleepy through the day. Then, in the late night… wow. This little one has some serious [...]

Our friend Brian sent an amazing note yesterday morning. I’ve asked him if I can post some of it here, so here it is:
As Zoey was being introduced to the world, I was picking up my son from the airport after the first big adventure of his life in NY. I was thinking of [...]

Rona’s water broke at 4:45ish this morning, with a mini whoosh. Since that time we’ve had Doctor Tracy and students Leah and Molly over, and they checked heart tones and blood pressure and temperature and the cord and stuff (which were all great). Then we went over to Lakeside and walked a mile around the [...]

Nothing much is happening today… Not many contractions. Sorry, Susan, looks like the 11th is out, too. We just have been hanging out today, except for this evening. We went out to Ethiopian food at Enat Restaurant with Auntie Junko to help start contractions going. Had a few more, but not much. The food was [...]

If you picked today in the baby pool… If today was your day…
Then…
Probably no cookies or candy for you. Sorry. Not a whole lot of contraction action today, but Zoey’s trying out her synchronized swimming moves so she’ll be ready for her big debut. Whenever that may be.

As you can see, Murphee has a nice little bandage on her paw. The vets chopped off her nail at the break. She has some antibiotics to fight an infection that was setting in in her claw. She’s just taking it easy on the couch (as you can see).
We’re taking it easy today, too, [...]

A quick update: We have an appt for Murph to go to the vet at noon today. Her toenail doesn’t look so good. So, we are grateful to Cascade Pet Hospital to squeeze us in today. It will be interesting with all my contractions going on… yep. Contractions are pretty steady now, a bit more [...]

We have had no power for the past 28 hours, but it just got back on and we are soooo happy! It got down to about 53 degrees in here. We were all wrapped up in blankets and had logs in the fireplace burning strong.
To catch you all up… no baby yet. Contractions started [...]
