It seems things are happening!!!

MUCH going on here!

At about 2:00a this morning Kathy woke up to a few strong contractions.  Through the night she rotated between warm showers, naps and more contractions -which came every few hours or so.

Through the day, the contractions progressed, getting more frequent, and a bit more in consistent.  We’ve had fun today relaxing and trying not to the the anticipation overwhelm us. Kathy who had been nauseous most of the day got a craving for McDonald’s –so we took a little road trip and got some.   Good Fun!

Now at 6:00 this evening, the contractions are coming at the pace of about every 15 to 20 minutes. We’re going to go to the hospital and check-in soon.  This is very exciting!!!  At this point it seems the baby is doing it’s own thing and (perhaps?) won’t need any encouragement -we’ll see

Wish us luck and fun!

OH, here is a video that Kathy made for Ciara very early this afteroon -you’ll see she’s doing GREAT -and continues to do so as we post this.

We had forgot about this picture ....and came across it after Grace's birth  -This picture was taken not many hours before Kathy's first contraction -It seems a little stroll under the Reno Arch may have played a part in getting things going!?

Baby Shower

Kris, Rose and Barbara put on a great baby shower. It was here at the house, but the trio did all the work including great food and fun.  Both Grandmas were here and the all-girls party was wonderful.

Too many nice presents -including a Coach diaper bag, (uh, from Grandma Rose no doubt) nice strollers, car seats, hand knitted outfits, booties from Italy and many many useful presents.

Barbara was nice enough to take some video and some of the baby shower can be seen in the video below:

We’ve got a bunch of pictures to go through, and when we, do we’ll add them to this post!

Thanks everyone for a wonderful baby shower. You are all too generous.
