October 19th...The Day our Lives Changed Forever

This picture was taken 24 hours before our little one entered the world.

On the way to the hospital. Smiling, although apprehensive! The contactions are tolerable at this point....about 5 mintutes apart. Still had to go through rush hour to get to the hospital!

Nine hours later, Charlie was born! 8 pounds 4 oz 20 1/2 inches! No wonder the belly was so big! Happy Birthday Charlie Owen!!

Proud papa!

What a day! Mom, Delanie, and Kirk were great coaches....Dad too :) Todd came to see

his new nephew right away

The State Fair

So, my total exhaustion shows on my face. Kirk and I rode the gondolla across the fair to give my feet, back, legs.... a rest. Sorry, think all the makeup is gone too :)

We had to take a picture at the miracle of birth center..two preggos. Me at 32 weeks, Amber at 19 weeks.

32 plus weeks....and counting!

Wow! This has definately been a month of a lot of growing and growing pains to go along with it! I totally get the pregnant waddle now...for me it's more the waddle of a full bladder or a sore back. That's the new fun one...legs and back aching so bad, anything that resembles a bench or chair has my bum on it everywhere I go. I leaned against a pole at Menards today and some 50 year old guy tried to hit on me...guess he loves huge pregnant bellies! Kirk says he can't leave me alone anywhere :)

The little one is doing a lot of acrobatics now..belly definately looks likes an alien is about to pop out...I love it though... although I very much look forward to wearing normal clothes and fitting through spaces without my belly getting in the way! 7 more weeks till the due date!

State Fair tomorrow, wish my legs and my back luck!!
