So, after having nine months to get ready for his arrival, it seems like just yesterday we found out that we were expecting another child.  We had our mental check lists of things to get done before he arrived, and for the most part we had everything set.  It’s amazing all the little things you forget to get ready when you’re about to have an infant at home again.  The nice thing is he won’t hold it against us for missing something.

Anyway, the Wednesday before the “big day” was a hectic day at work for both of us, but the evening was great.  We had dinner and ice cream with some friends and enjoyed our last night of being parents to an only child.  We had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am on Thursday, and I think we finally went to bed just before midnight and set our alarms for 3:30am.  I slept pretty well, Heather slept pretty good as well..all things considered.  We rolled out around 5:10am after giving Savannah hugs I kisses.

Jump to 7:30am and they’re wheeling Heather into the OR and I was to join her shortly.  The delivery itself was pretty uneventful until the doctors were having a little bit of trouble getting him out.  We kept hearing how big his head was.  Couple tugs and a little use of the vacuum, and he was out!  All 10 pounds, 13 ounces and 22.5 inches of him!

Trenton Jeremy joined us at 7:56am and just like his big sister, he’s a very mellow baby.

So we’re 7 days away from Heather’s scheduled C-section and I have a feeling that Heather wishes today was the 17th! Available space is growing smaller and smaller in there and therefore it’s making heather more and more uncomfortable. Right now we’re in the final stages of getting everything ready to go for junior’s arrival. The nursery’s set, the infant clothes are washed and sitting in a basket (we’ll get them put away eventually), we’ve got our phone/email list ready to go to spread the news, and thankfully, Savannah is still excited to see her baby brother.

Over new years we borrowed Connor’s Wii for a couple days and quickly realized that playing the sports games causes some pretty good contractions if you’re severely pregnant! So we now have our own Wii and have been playing it daily in hopes we can get things moving along. So far, no luck, but we’re getting some “exercise” while we try and kick each others butts playing tennis. Even Savannah has her own Mii and she likes to play the bowling game.

Anyway, I’ll wrap it up here for now, when things change, I’ll get an update posted ASAP! Wish us luck in the next week!
