The Man of the House?

Well it's been almost 2 weeks and unfortunately I (Joe) have to return to work on Tuesday leaving our little man in charge.....


Well at least he seems to think so. Life around the house has been rather hectic, I'm not sure how we ever had a hard time with a newborn. Because a newborn is like infinitely easier to handle than a 3 year old. Granted they can't do anything on their own but the first month or so it's all sleeping!

Max is doing a very good job loving his little sister and a very good job ignoring everything mom and dad tell him to do. That being said as usual Steph and I feel we are very lucky to have such a good first child.

I've uploaded all of April's pictures onto my picasa website and will update the slide shows on the blog which will take you there as well. As for the rest of our lives, Steph is doing a very good job on taking care of the new baby while I do my best to keep Max distracted and take care of all those jobs that have been piling up around the house when there was always something better to do.

We're all wishing for the weather to clear so we can get to some baseball games and to the driving range at least 10 times ;)

Brother and Sister

You almost would not know it if I didn't tell you they were!

Day 2 everything is going well! All the tests have come back perfect she's eating ok, so that's all we can hope for right now.

She's here!!

At 4:45pm Layla Belle Romney joined us coming in at 7 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long.
She'll be here and viewable at around 6:30pm and you're all invited to join us. Don't know room number yet but you can text me for that.

Almost there!!

Fully dilated, so it won't be much longer now :)

4:00pm

Things have started to move along a bit quicker now, still can't see anything happening before 5 and probably not until a bit later but we've seen more movement in the past hour than all the rest of the time combined.

2:30PM

Well not much news, got the epidural about 45 minutes ago. Still looking at 5pm'ish at the soonest.
Watching Thomas Crown affair now :)

A bit behind

Well we're a bit behind where we hoped to be but hey it's not like we've got anything else to do. The doctor was hoping to pop back in between 12:00 and 12:30 to help move things along and........ well sure enough he just walked in. So he's going to break the water now and should speed things up a bit.

10AM

Well we're a couple hours in and things are going pretty smoothly. The doctor has come in and the nurse says everything is going well. Her guess for baby weight is 7 pounds 6 ounces so feel free to post your guesses below. Right now we don't expect much to happen for at least 2-3 hours.

Checked

Well we're here and checked in, nothing to report yet. Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday morning.

Today's the day

We're heading out now, supposed to be at the hospital by 7:30AM MST. :D

Ok getting closer

Well we're within a week and I've updated the music list to reflect new baby girl! When the day does come stay tuned here we'll be updating the blog instead of calling, text messaging, emailing etc.

Tick, tock, tick tock...........

What the hell!

Who the hell is this guy ^ !!!!

Sorry had to do it!

When things aren't happening to you they take a lot less time. We've been waiting for Layla Belle FOREVER!!!!!!!!
I'm ready to throw sleep away and just get on with it. But then again I've always been a fan of doing my presentation first. Why endure the agony of waiting.

As many of you know my/our good buddy Brad was in town this weekend for a little paintball and cards, it was a very good time. We'll miss him not being in the valley but wish him well in his new location a little farther south. Speaking of Paintball
This guy right down there \/ took a great shot and tagged me right in the ear! Damnit that hurt but it made every hit I took after that not hurt at all.
Where'd he go? Where'd whooooo gooooooooo?
