Chloe Alexandra is born!

Ready to leave the hospital (the pics posted backwards heh)


Look at all the hair ;)


Connor giving his sister kisses


Soon after birth, when we got to the postpartum room.

I will post more details later but Chloe is stirring and she'll need to nurse soon. Chloe was 7lbs 7oz and 20.5 in long. She was born at 8:18am on October 26th. Thank you for all the email well wishes in the week leading up to and after the birth, I will respond to them all soon I promise. Things have been a whirlwind here.

Love, Jaimie, Matthew, big brother Connor and little sister Chloe

T -1 and counting

They have no idea what they are in for ;).

(Walking about the zoo the last day it was open this year).

Almost there

This is from 37 weeks. I'm huge! Heh.

Our c-section is scheduled for Thursday, so only two more days! Connor doesn't know what he's in for ;).

A new era

Connor in his forward facing car seat. :)

Sorry so long to update, work has been insanely busy! And of course preparing for the new little bundle... arriving in just 6 days! Eeek!

Jaimie :)

Hayrides!

Connor hayriding, first by himself and then with his friend Carson. Snacks are always good on hayrides!

They both look grumpy but really they had fun ;).

The blog address has changed! Update your bookmarks! :)

This week was the cats annual vet visit for a checkup and vaccinations. Boo is still fat. Taz is not. They weigh about the same though ;).

I learned something at the vet that made me happy. I have been putting off turning Connor's carseat to forward facing and agonizing over it. I wanted him to stay rear-facing as long as possible. The reality is though, his carseat will not fit rear-facing once his sister's infant seat is installed (which needs to happen... soon ;) ).

I learned at the vet (thanks to Connor's love of standing on the dog scale) that Connor now weighs about 32 lbs. That is fully clothed, but one is clothed in a car seat ;). Since his seat only accomodates rear-facing children to 33 lbs... ta da! I can now turn the seat with no guilt. He's outgrowing rear-facing all on his own. :)

Chloe's seat rear faces though of course ;). The infant seat fits just fine that way no matter where you put it.

So tomorrow Connor's seat will be turned to forward-facing. A whole new era!

(He is growing all over.... he is now in 3T pants and shirts and wears a size 9XW shoe and size 10 snow boot. Yikes!)
