Updating via blackberry We are on today for a 10:15am! Kristajana looks cute in her little smock. 🙂

By Casey Kristjana was up most of the night with contractions.   Not only was I certain that the baby would be born today, Saturday, we were both pretty sure she was going into full blown labor (not the partial stuff she has been dealing with for 6 weeks).   The way my wife was…

First off, thanks to my sweet and gracious hubby for the guest posts over the last few days.   I needed a break! So.  I’m having a c-section after all. You see, on my birthday Wednesday, Casey found the detailed journaling he did of the night Kenny was born, and printed it out, thinking that…

Hello all.   If you haven’t visited in a couple of days, I am giving Kristjana a little rest, and recapping the days just prior to Kenny’s birth.   When I last left you yesterday, I had gone to bed on Thursday evening September 2nd 2005, feeling awful, 24 hours after stepping on a nail…

I have 11 days before my official due date… 5 if I had kept my scheduled c-section.   Now is the time that every cramp, every dizzy spell, every twinge brings on the question… is this it?? Two nights ago while making dinner, I started seeing spots in my vision.   Then my whole right…
