    Proofs from Benjamin’s 2-year birthday pictures! Since they’re just proofs, they’re not large nor very high-resolution. You can click them to get slightly larger sizes.

    Zachary (roughly 5 months old here) is naturally in some of them. We went to a Target photo studio near us; the woman there was rumored to be terrific…and she was. We were very impressed with her ability to capture great facial expressions and the natural look and feel of Benjamin.

    We didn’t order all of these poses, of course. If you see one you really like, though, let us know!

    That really says it all. Everyone’s sick with cold or flu or both, who knows. It’s terrible. Had a rash scare with Zachary that turned out not to be what they thought it might be (ITP). Birthday pics for Benjamin were rescheduled, too.

    Rough week. Looking to reschedule party to a date a couple weeks from now. More on that when we figure it out…

    For now, Benjamin’s party this weekend is still a ‘go’, but neither of the little ones are feeling well at all.

    Croup for Benjamin for sure, and a cold for Zachary as well (along with Zachary’s ‘mystery rash’). They both seem pretty miserable, and Dad’s not much better. Not much the pediatrician could do for them, either.

    We had planned to get some pictures done this week, but that’s been rescheduled for now.

    If the party date/time changes, we’ll certainly let you know, but for now, that, at least, is still on schedule. Hopefully they’ll be cleared up by then.

    Most of you should have received Zachary’s birth announcement moocards by now, and are here looking for more of the pictures we promised. We’re happy to report that they’re here.

    It’s not a ton of pictures, but it’s a start, and we hope to keep the pictures coming, of both Zachary and Benjamin. Please keep checking back for more!

    And remember, you can always contact us anytime, or register with us here and leave us comments on these pictures, or any pictures or anything else we post here…and basically keep in touch with us. We hope to hear from you!

  • Zachary Alexander is born!

    Zachary approx. 12 hours old! We’re so very proud to announce the birth of our second child and latest son! 

    He was born at 1258am on Sept. 24th, 2007, weighing in at a somewhat large-ish 11lbs 11oz, and 22 inches long! He did great, Mom did great (though there was no shortage at all of drama during delivery), and we’re already home, a full day early. Benjamin’s already very accepting of his new little brother, offering him kisses and hugs and patting and rubbing his head, holding his hands, etc. It’s really great to see them get along so well already. We spent a lot of time seeding the idea of a baby and brother into Benjamin’s head, and it appears, so far, to have really worked out well.

    More pictures and a birth story will eventually follow. Thanks to everyone for their support and interest these last many months! We really appreciate it!

     
  • Pregnancy update #2

    imageHad another NST on Thursday. Nothing new to report, really. Not given any information about induction. We were given very little information at all, in fact. We see a group of OBs at this OB office, and the OB we had this time is one that Stacey can’t really stand. I don’t care for him all that much either, really. He reeks of cigar smoke, spits all over you when he talks, and when he talks, he’s right in your face, and loud. Nice guy, I think, but he talks in circles a bit and can be somewhat annoying.

    We scheduled another NST and OB visit for this Monday and again this next Thursday, as necessary. We were told that they don’t let anyone go over 42 weeks, so by the end of this coming week at the latest, we should have our new addition. The OB we saw prior to this last visit seemed to indicate we’d be moving along into the induction phase much more quickly than we are, so who knows. Seeing a variety of OBs in the end-stage of it all seems rather ineffective.

    Stacey’s been increasingly uncomfortable lately, so she may well progress on her own just fine. We’re all getting impatient, though…

    Again, more as we know it.
