Welcome Abigail

After 41 weeks, and 3 days, Shannon and I are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. Abigail Francis, was born Monday October 8th, at 18:45, weighing in at 7lbs, 14ounces. I’m pretty sure a pound of that is hair 🙂

It was a very long and trying day, as little Abby was not fond of the contractions. Because of this, Shannon had to under go an emergency c-section to get the baby out safely. As per our prayers, she came out healthy, happy, and screaming 🙂

Words can not express the love we feel for our little bundle of joy. It’s amazing how you can fall in love with someone within the very first second you lay eyes on her. Its also amazing just how strong my wife is. For someone who normally gets weepy from stubbing her toe, she was an absolute super hero. I couldn’t have been more proud of her, or in awe of how she handled everything, including about 8 hours, of 1.5-2 minute contractions.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us, came and seen us, and graciously sent/delivered gifts. We appreciate everyone and everything you have done. We truely could not get through this without the love and help of our family and friends.

For those interested in baby pictures, HERE is where they will be from now on. There is several albums, and things will be sorted out into events, etc. Bookmark this link, as it will change over the years to come.

38 weeks, 1 day

Well, yesterday marked 38 weeks. Still no baby. Two more weeks until the official due date. Still excited, and a touch freaked out, but.. mostly excited 🙂 Stay tuned for baby updates.

While there is no baby updates, I do have some other news. First up, I have rejoined the dark side. After about 1.5 years apple free, I purchased another Apple Computer. This time a Macbook. (2.16 Core2Duo, SuperDrive, 120GB hdd, upgraded to 2gb Ram for those of you g33ks who want the specs). I love it. Nice being back in OSX. I have officially been windows-free for 1 complete week and so far, I haven’t had a need/want to use windows to do any of my day to day chores. Couple more weeks, and I can officially say I “switched”.

Beetle went back to Pauls place again. This time to adjust the height on my seat rails, and get them moving properly again. Rails apparently didn’t like the sand from the sandblaster. Once its home, I can finally put carpet in, and finish my interior installation. And then out comes the engine for a rebuild.

Lastly, after 3.5 years in our house, the bug finally has a nice, smooth, paved driveway to park on. It will be nice not looking at stone driveway, and also not having to shovel rocks in the winter 🙂
