So where was I… last post coronation was still in the future and now it is over a week in the past.  Theday of coronation went great, Niamh was an angel all day with only a peep now and then when she was hungry.  The royalty room had a fridge so the milk supply was [...]

Snow???

Porch Buddha says, “Why is it snowing on me five minutes to May?!?”
 

Home this weekend

So where have I been?  Mostly looking alot like this…. Niamh really likes to sleep on people and it is really hard to type like this.  We have also strolled around the block lots of times and we have made many trips to the Doctor.  Actually the last trip was for me; Wednesday I still felt crummy [...]

baby time all the time

So I have had Niamh external and in the house for one week and she has taken over alot but I like to think not 100%.    There was one really bad night she woke up every hour and a half but the past two nights she has eaten a TON at 11 and 2am but [...]

Sunday

Yesterday the yarn show wentvery well.  We all got dressed and out of the house and Niamh did great in her first 45min car ride.  I think I was more nervous that I could not see her (today I bought a mirror for the car) but not a peep.  The stroller was great and kept [...]

What to say…

Well day 5 of Niamh’s life and today we plan on taking an outing to a yarn event south of the cities.  We are taking the stroller for a maiden voyage since it arrived yesterday and mom and Lars put it together.  Yesterday mom and I adventured to the grocery store and walmart without baby [...]

The Real World

4/11 update – I fixed the links for the pictures, sorry about that….
We are home… we have been home for just over 24 hours and survived so far .  The hospital internet was nice to have but it was spotty and would turn itself off all the time thus not the best way to [...]

Pictures finally

The internet at the hospital is odd so this tool longer then expected.  More at flikr…

Welcome Niamh!

We are proud to announce that last night at 10:06 PM, Niamh Mizzi Luthner was born.  She was 7 lbs 8 oz and 21 inches long. …
 
Sorry for not getting this out to the world until now, but, yesterday was a very hard day and when it was done it was shower and sleep and feed the [...]

Monday 10:30 am

Water’s broken. Spirits still high. More info later.

still no baby

Still in the hospital and we all took a nap.  Contractions about the same…. I guess I could have stayed at home last night but my fear of home (or roadside) birth brought us in sooner rather then later.  I’m sure more action to come.
Hey – looks like my time stamps are not working with [...]

Latest News

We are now in the hospital.  I got monitored for half an hour and then they let me wander around.  It will still be a while I think but so far so good.

in labor

Well, they don’t hurt but they don’t tickle and they are getting more frequent and have not quit for a few hours now.  Next post probably from the hospital.

try again

three contractions 10 min apart… lets see if I can keep this up.

Rainy Afternoon

We all went out to brunch and are home again doing little projects.  I’ve hung the mobile and sorted out the lingering boxes of baby stuff.  I have stocked all rooms of our house with spit up cloths and waterproof pads (can you tell I think babies are leaky?).  I need to finish tidying my [...]

status; still the same

for lack of anything new to say this will be brief….  Woke up really early, did a bunch of e-mail stuff and went back to bed.  Might as well enjoy the day by being very lazy .

We went to the hospital and all we came home with was…

a prescription for Mom.  Ha! got you all with the title   Nope, Mom felt bad enough that we made a trip to urgent care and she looked in pain enough that even with me waddling beside her the admitting nurse guessed the visit was for her not me.  There is one thing about this [...]

Morning update

Good morning… no babies born here yet and this morning I called into work on my last day (weak, I know) more or less to avoid all the questions that people feel compelled to ask there.  Even people I like at work might get a less then polite answer.  BossD, being a father of 2, [...]

still nothing

Baby seems comfortable where she is so in order to feel some accomplishment today I paid off my student loan.  It really was down to a silly amount that remembering to pay monthly is more hassle then the money is worth so I am now school debt free.

nothing yet

Must have been something I ate or things are just going very very slowly….

maybe something?

I think something in the family of labor is happening… nothing too painful more just noticeable then not.  Its either labor or she is really moving a bunch fairly regularly.
 I’m not going anywhere except maybe bed, I am under the impression that real labor will wake you up.

checking in

Still no action and nothing feels like its happening…  I’m not really complaining because now I have a list of stuff to get done this afternoon and birth isn’t on it.
 Just an update for those keeping track, I have 18 items in my (work) inbox, that is an absolute record for me but I got alot [...]

yuck!

A coworker I really don’t like much just decided to ask me if I’m getting induced tomorrow.  He did not get the blank look I gave him implied ‘mind your own business’ and persisted!!!  I then told him did he realize the parts of my anatomy he was inquiring about were not really up for [...]

4/2

Ok, we avoided birth during a snow storm and on April Fools day!  Still no external baby and I’m running out of stuff to do while I’m waiting…
 On one hand, the extra days I’m getting are great, I can relax and get my work done more completely and carry on with adult life.  I can [...]

still no baby

It is officially my due date today, April 1, and so far as of 8:30am central time the baby is still in internal residence.  We managed to not have a baby in the middle of the last snow storm of the season!
I kinda feel like something might happen today but I’m not going to really focus [...]
