Hair – Kim’s.  Eyes – Kim’s.  Nose – Kim’s.  Skin – Kim’s. Hiccups – Gary’s. At least I got one thing.

First picture, first family photo, and first bath.  No wonder he’s so tired right now (sleeping like a baby).

Murrow Cooper Love was born at 2:04 this morning (I think it’s May 20th now).  He’s 6 pounds 13.2 ounces, 20 inches long and happy and healthy.  Pictures and more details will follow, but I thought everyone would want to know that momma and baby are happy and healthy.

They started Kim on the Pitocin this morning to begin the induction.  Everything seems to be moving along nicely.  The contractions are still very early labor, so she’s just resting up for the big event. By the way, I can’t believe they killed Marissa.

It’s just like any other night for Kim and I.  Sitting on our asses watching the OC…just no tivo, so we have to sit through all the commercials.  There’s also the small details, including Kim is hooked up to 2 IV’s and constantly has people buzzing around her. Basically, nothing interesting will happen tonight.  They’re… Continue reading The OC Finale

In, out, in.  We’re going in for the big one.  I hope yal enjoyed your break from your hopes and prayers for us, because we need them again.  They’re planning to begin induction tonight and that means Murrow should be poking his head out sometime tomorrow.  We’re desperately hoping that he doesn’t see his shadow.

Well, this has been the week of yuck.  Our regular doctor is in the hospital with back problems, our fill-in doctor is a humorless OCD case, and Kim is now having to go back to the hospital because the latest blood work didn’t look good.  Blech. So, we’re back on high alert.  It is possible… Continue reading Going Back In

Yup, she’s still on bed rest.  Her blood pressure is doing great, Murrow is doing great, but she’s definitely hit the “get this thing out of me” stage of the pregnancy.  It doesn’t help that the seasons suddenly changed this week, so it feels like we’re at the height of summer.  No air conditioning, plus… Continue reading Kim “Couch Potato” Love

Yet more confirmation that Murrow “Pork Chop” Love is huge-tastic.  The most recent ultrasound has murrow weighing 7 lbs, and he’s not even to term yet.  Also, the words that no 36 week pregnant woman wants to hear … the diameter of his head is about the size of an average 40 week old fetus. … Continue reading Big, Big, Big
