Here is some early video of the newest member of our family. I checked in on them at the hospital before I came home yesterday and they are all great. Troy finally went home for a shower and a nap after trying to sleep on the tiny, little, squeaky loveseat in the hospital room to two days...God bless him, he is such a wonderful guy! Nikki was feeling good. She was moving a little slow, but she was up and moving which was more than I could do 24 hours after Jack was born! I'm so glad she didn't get a c-section! She'll be back to normal soon. The baby is perfect! He just finished his hearing test as I arrived, passed with flying colors. He was mostly drowsy from Tylenol after his own little surgical "procedure" that morning. Max and his mommy will both be walking a little cautiously for a few days. They will all be headed home today to start their life together. Good luck family!

Fresh From the Oven
Introducing... sorry, still no name. Check in again tomorrow. But here is a picture of Jack's cute new cousin. He is adorable. He looks very serious complete with furrowed brow. I think he's trying to figure out how he wound up in this world. As we left the hospital, his pediatrician came in to announce that he is perfect...I could've told her that.
Anyway, Nikki came through labor in 12 hours. She had a pretty rough night, as they gave her some drugs to kick start things and it did. She started at only 1 or 2 cm. When I arrived at 6:30 this morning they were just giving her an epidural. She went quickly to 6 cm by 8:00 and then 9 cm by 9:00! The nurses were racing around to get things ready. By the time she hit 10 cm, they were chasing the doctor down to hurry and get there. She actually had to stop pushing to wait for the doctor to arrive!! At 10:57, the baby arrived. In the end healthy baby, healthy Mom, relieved Dad. Everything was great. Everyone is so thrilled to finally meet our newest member of the family. Congratulations Troy and Nikki!

Coming Attractions...
If you've wondered why I still haven't posted about my nephew, it's because he has yet to make his appearance. I'm headed down to Redondo Beach tonight to be close to Little Company of Mary Hospital (which Rob likes to say is the BEST hospital out there...it's the one where he was born!) Nikki will go in late tonight to get round 1 of her induction medications. I hope to post by this time tomorrow about my darling nephew and the quick, easy delivery that Nikki experienced! Keep them in your prayers tonight and check here tomorrow for updates.

Say Cheese!
Andria just sent this photo today. Taken around Christmas, but I completely forgot about it. It's one of my favorites now. Thanks Andria, you rock!Pizza Night!
Today we had a fantastic day. We hung out at home most of the morning and then after Jack's nap we went to the mall. We shopped at Target (Jack got a really cool car that has sound effects and zips around when you shake it.) Then off to the play area upstairs where Jack had an absolute blast climbing, sliding and playing hide-and-seek. We capped the trip off with a spin on the mini carousel. Once we got home it was pizza night! As you can see he loved stealing pepperoni straight out of the box. What a little scamp! He whooped and screamed while we played with his new car and watched Bolt. He was still raring to go when we finally put him down at 9PM. Sometimes the best days are simple ones.
