SHE'S HERE!!!

Well, after a false start on Saturday, we came back early Sunday morning (27 May 2007) and Kim fought it out long and hard. (will write more of the details later...I left Kimmy Dimmy at the hospital so I shouldn't leave her alone too long)

Lil' Amelia Jane Wilson (could change...but doubtful) was born at 8:01pm EST 27 May 2007. She was 20"/5.08cm and 7lbs 11oz/3.5kg. She has fire engine red hair...ok, its more strawberry blonde, and here are so quick pix for the time being (i really gotta go, kim'll be mad!):

While Kim was getting prepped for the caesarean delivery, I snapped this pic in the bathroom mirror (speaking of which, they let me watch it and it was really kinda cool...Kim was mad that i was looking at her insides, and i admit i got a bit weak in the knees seeing all the pure white wash cloths being shoved in and coming out sopping wet in blood, and man do they yank on those poor baby's heads!)


Amelia's already worried about her weight, they start these girls a little too young on this weight conscious thing


They had Kimbo 'spread eagle' on a cross like she was about to be crucified...at least the epidural was working


the two most beautiful gals around, just sleepin' away


lil' Milly-poo as I call her

Still we wait...

So we went to the doctor today hoping to hear some good news like, "Wow! You are dilated to a 7! Let's get you to the hospital to have this baby!" But alas, nothing like that happened. It was all the routine stuff, only to find out there have been no changes from last weeks visit. Darn! And again another hopeful remark from the doctor, "I think we will see you before your next visit." Yeah, that obviously didn't happen last week, we'll see how it goes this week. Although we do have the induction scheduled for Thursday, and almost everyone says they went into labour the night before the scheduled induction...so we'll see what happens! Plus we hear the statistic for a first time pregnancy is 8 days overdue...that would be Wednesday. We're keeping our water logged fingers crossed, but who knows.

Playing the waiting game...

So as many of you know, 22 May 2007 has come and gone with nothing eventful occuring. DANG IT!!! Still no baby! I have been having quite a few contractions, some that are beginning to be painful, but nothing regular. Brad and I have been eating a ton of spicy food (love the Indian, Paul), and go on long walks every night after dinner...still nothing. This little one has a very strong grip and isn't about to let go anytime soon. Oh well, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, we'll see what they have to say.

Remember when...

We were cool?

Brad was creative in school?

We were in love?

Our bellies weren't as big?

We'd get stung by blue bottle jellyfish?

We could watch the storm come in off the ocean?

We could body board?

We were weird?

Baby Madness!!

With less than a week to go we are finally getting photos posted from baby showers. Thanks so much to all of you who were so generous to us! We truly appreciate it!

Rubber ducky, you're the one!

Hmmm, I wonder what else is in here?!

Here is the cake Kim's visiting teaching companion made for the baby shower at the Carraways...isn't that amazing?!

Kim, Mary Lynne, and Lanna Barringer

Sally Evans and more guests

I wanna have a baby!! I wanna get presents! (When Kim received the packages from Utah Hannah and Molly started stuffing their bellies, we had to catch it in a photo! So funny!)

Here's the three of us showing off our big old bellies!
