Our little family +1

Marcie had been having contractions for the last day or two, and consistently since 2:00 am this morning.

We arrived at the hospital today at about 10:00 am and sat in triage for about 3-4 hours while they tracked her progress.At 6:24 pm on this day, August 16th 2008, Troy Oliver Paternoster blessed us with his presence after only a handfull of pushes by Marcie (much to her epidural enhanced enjoyment). He weighs 8 lbs 6.9 oz, and measures 19.75 inches. He has dark hair (for the moment) that is about an inch long (except for up front - dang mulletts).

We feel very blessed that all went well and there were no complications. Our boy has ten fingers and ten toes and a very lucky Mother, Father, and big sister.

Welcome to the world Troy Oliver Paternoster.

Our little family

So we thought Monday night was going to be our last night out with just Brooklyn before the baby was born, so we had to take a picture. She has been such a trooper these past few weeks with all the crap that has been going on. We love our little baby girl!! Also, here are a couple pictures of the dryer. Nice huh? But it could have been WAY worse. We're pretty lucky! Oh and here's just a cute picture of B.

Change of plans...

So...I didn't get in to be induced today (they had a TON of gals come in this morning and I'm not a medical emergency), and I opted out of getting my water broken. I have decided to wait it out and see what happens. I'm still not very progressed, so I may be a while, which is fine. I feel MUCH less stressed now, which is nice. Now Brooklyn and I can relax the rest of the week and just play. Also, hopefully this way, our little "visitors" will be completely gone by the time we bring our baby boy home. Ugh. I'm still feeling great, so that's a plus!

Are you kidding me??!!

All I need right now is ONE more thing to stress me out. So our stupid "new" apartment has FLEAS!!!! Unbelievable. I'm so ticked. There is new carpet (and supposedly a new carpet pad too), and they said they do some "animal removing" spray, but there are STILL fleas! So tomorrow we get to set off a flea fogger, and Monday the professionals are coming to do it again. I have to be out of the house at least 8 hours each time since I'm pregnant. May could not come soon enough (that's when our lease is up and we are FOR SURE getting out of here for good). The "funny" thing is, they kept asking us how we could have fleas like it's OUR fault. Ugh, I hate this place. Say a prayer for me so I don't kill them!!! :)

Only one more week!

Well, at least until my due date. Who knows if I'll go over! But my Dr. said she would break my water next Tuesday if I don't come in on my own! She rocks!!

MORE pictures...

Ok, I know we've already posted a link for the sneak preview of our pictures, but now we have the online gallery with ALL the pictures, and I really need your help! Which pictures would you get? Help us! I guess we're biased, but Brooklyn is too cute in all the pictures!

On another note, I'm still pregnant. : ) BUT, we MAY have a baby by the weekend. We'll see. I have my appointment tomorrow. I'm feeling great though! Also, we're all moved in to our "new" apartment. I haven't organized everything yet, or hung pictures or anything, and some things are still in boxes, but we're in. Thank goodness I had Erik. He did EVERYTHING!! He even cleaned the old apartment for me. What a guy. :)
