Any day now...
I got the most comments on the sympathy belly picture. So, it is time to update it. Only to show evereybody I could not be too sympathetic, eh? As September draws to an end the weather is finally comfortable for Roxanne. Her last day at work (til December) was on Friday, and she is really looking forward to getting the finishing touches in the nursery. She asked me to add some pictures with the crib, that now has a mattress. The more amazing thing is all the pictures we keep in our home. The picture below is classic Ellie, and of course if you scroll below that she still has the same smile, but with some teeth.

Week 37 Click for Ultrasound Pic from 09/19/2007 All is well, last night we had our first false alarm, starting at 10PM Roxanne began having contractions, they closed within 5 minutes apart by 1AM, and we called the Doctor by 2AM. AT 3AM were on our way to the Hospital... This was it. Well, not quite? We learned another important part of having a baby there is a whole new level of Roxanne must go through. The next day off I will try to elaborate on what I am expecting this to look like, but meanwhile enjoy the video. |
August We put together most of the Nusery, and the big party is this weekend... I will try to update again real soon. NURSERY PREVIEW |
June Visit PART 1
Well, we were happy to report everything was normal for our first June visit. Then we had the rest of the afternoon to just be a happy husband and wife. So, of course we went shopping. Obviously this was more for her, but there are several things she wants this kid to have. Plus at this point she can now proudly use those "Mom-To-Be Parking Spots" at the front of the store.
June Visit Part 2 Four weeks later, and it is still June. Really, this is the July visit, but more important we got to see that we are having another girl. Well, Roxanne is having another GIRL. Sedona Grace Loose - - I am glad too, because there were too many boy names, and none of them seemed just right, and plus we can always try for another one in a few years, eh? Roxanne was also unsure about having a boy, because she knew what to do with a girl, as you can see - Ellie is so wonderful already. Anyhow, the contributing factors of being the dad tend to lose their charm by the third trimester. All the swollenness, aching, and weight gain, I can still take credit for, and I am reminded of this with every popsicles that I must carry to her several times a day. (Slight exagerration, maybe only two or three times a day) I am very happy to be the Daddy, but the baby is officially Mommy’s from now until about next summer. There is a bond between "Mother and Child" that no man should try to intercede his wisdom upon. Unless, he wishes to look like a total ass to the entire female population through out all of history. Men should just learn to keep their wisdom to each other in these child raising matters. Women have been having babies for thousands of years, and they don't need any unsolicited advice. It seems that only on particularly difficult days is any real credit given to MEN and their Super Seed. I find it is easiest to just smile and go get her another popsicle.

May Doctor Visit May 4, 2007 And here are the BELLIES. Well, we really had a tough time in the month of April. I can honestly say without any doubts that this was the longest month so far. And it isn't even SUMMER, yet (Can you say 105 Degrees with 99% humidity?) Roxanne had the flu for a few days in April. So, all I can say is thank goodness for rollover minutes, and I feel we should be able to make cellphones inoperable with 150 feet. SO, then I would not get a call from the bedroom, while I am doing the dishes. Just kidding, ROX in case you read this you can always call on me, okay? There were other health issues, but not for the whole world to know, as she would say. Just know we made it through it all. Roxanne also had the flu with Ellie, so in hind sight. We are PAR for the course with this pregnancy, too. When we did eventually get to the Doctor's office last week it was kinda funny - because they wanted to know how everything was going. And by now everything is going just fine! We just had to deal with everything else for the last 4 weeks. And NOW we are all better :-) IN SUMMARY - - I will just blame it on the WEATHER, thank god Spring is finally here, and I don't have to hear the heater running in the middle of the night. Because, if I try to blame my woes on her hormones, it will be the last thing I blame anything on for a long-long time. Women get that hormone pass, once a month when they are not pregnant. NOW, it seems like the roller coaster never stops. Recent things I did wrong, hmmmm?
At least I know there is always tomorrow, eh? And the baby is starting to move more frequently, and that really makes a difference. It is a security check for parents to know things are going all right. And the kid is doing just GREAT. Here is the best idea of the month that I had while I was walking downstairs for the Second CHERRY ITALIAN ICE in 30 minutes.... If Roxanne is in Labor for less than 4 hours, I get to name the KID, because of all the stair-climbing/cooking/laundry/babysitting I am doing already. BUT, I don't think she wants this to happen. I was imagining her in the Delivery Room with her legs crossed shouting at the Doctor's - - - "I need to wait 5 more minutes, this kid is not gonna be named LINUS!!!!!"
Doctor Visit # 4 Wednesday April 3, 2007 Okay, everything is fine with Roxanne & the new baby. I guess in this the past five years things have changed so much with doctors and their own liability it is important to take extra care of Mommy & The Baby.
