Well, after a little more stress getting the baby here, not progressing quickly as we thought, all did turn out well and both Mom, baby, Dad and happy brother and sisters are all doing well.It truly is a miracle as a lot of you know to see a new little person come into this world and suddenly take that first breath of life. Amazing! I was chanting X-Y, X-Y, X-Y as we approached the final push---

We have baby! Gender and some stats (maybe?) after the big reveal to the kids on their way over. Place your guesses in the comments to see if your intuition is on today.Some hurry and scurry after a little concern, but everything appears to be good. Mom and baby doing well.

Upped the pitocin.Dr here and just checked: baby turned posterior or up (not a good thing) but at a 7 and 80%, need the baby to come down more to try and turn.

See not much happening, so if the water breaking doesn't help I'm sure they will still push the pitocin.

Not much going on now except resting and waiting until about 9:30 when they'll break her water and see how she progresses.

Since we dont know gender of the baby, Nurse Shanna offered up a "new" scientific study she read about:Take a strand of mom's hair and tie it around a wedding ring then hold over mommy's tummy. If the ring swings in a round circular motion it's a girl, if it swings in a pendulum motion it's a boy.With three measurements by nurse and daddy, the test says boy. So we'll see, nurse Shanna said it

After a few weeks of some smaller worry with below normal amniotic fluids, we are here at IMC getting induced.While all of the other deliveries have been 'natural starting, the doctor wanted to make sure the antibiotics were in and a little more controlled time frame to ensure biggest benefit.So K is IVed ready starting at 5cm and 80% effaced. Nurse Shanna (a Utah implant from Alabama) wants

I have a fairly monsterous project that's been naggin for ooooo 14ish years. It's the boxes of old family photos we pulled from Grandma Doris' house. I've carted them around in a couple of boxes over the years and knew they needed to be sort through and some how documented and preserved. But just kept ignoring it. . .until last year at the Stuart family reunion, I realized Dad's not getting any

Last weekend we were in Provo Canyon for a small family gathering. As usual it was hot, the kids were busy playing (running to and fro between playground equipment and the river bank), and I had the camera out trying to capture a few of the small joys of the afternoon.Now being that we don't have a fan-tabulous new digi-SLR camera (please Santa bring me something nice), our little Canon Elph is

The first day of our first child in the first grade was a BIG day for our whole family. For a week, we practiced for a much more structured schedule and a much much earlier morning routine. So with a week of practicing under our belt, Maddie beat Mommy’s alarm clock and was anxious as ever to wear her favorite bright pink-almost -red shirt for “red day” and to get her hair curled. She was first

It seems almost a bit ironic doesn't it? A guy and his family who are soooo into technology and most things digital, would be so late getting into the 'blog' thing. So, as I lay here in bed at a late hour typing this on my iPhone, while watching the news and the debut of BMX racing in the olympics (fast forwarding the commercials--thanks TiVo), here's what we hope for our blog: We hope
