A *very small* update!

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 23, 2009

I don’t have the time (or energy) to blog details, but here are the vitals!
Violet arrived at 12:28PM on January 20, 2009.  She weighed in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces and was 20 3/4 inches long.  She is healthy, I am recovering well, and we are all glad to be home.

2 more days!!!

I have registered at the hospital, gotten typed and cross-matched for blood products, made a lot of meals to have while I recover, my mom is here, and I am ready to go.  V does not seem to be ready to go, though!  I’ve been trying a few things to see if I can go [...]

And just in case you’re wondering, here’s a picture from this morning.  I look like I swallowed a basketball!

Still pregnant.

Right now, I’m just trying to finish up those last minute things.  I’m feeling a little off today but that may have more to do with the cold I have than any possibility of labor.  I just hope the cold clears up before her arrival!
Right now I’m wondering just how in the world I’m going [...]

Labor Watch 2009 begins!

Posted by: Melissa W on: January 8, 2009

I have never ever been in labor or made any sort of  real progress towards labor.  But yesterday my doctor confirmed my suspicions that V has dropped a lot…which is a sign that things are moving!  I don’t quite know how I feel about this.  On one hand, I’m happy to have her the day [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
