first bath

exploring

Alden dozed his way through various blankets and corners of our house. Even got a short walk around the block with mom and dad yesterday afternoon. Mom put on some shoes -- which fit him like moon boots -- in case he was up for a jog (he wasn't.)

Alden comes home

Slept on the drive home. Everyone is doing well. Enjoying the suprise decorations at home from Ali and Bob, the basinet that he swims in, and two grandmas' support (Lois holding, Sam's knitted blanket). We are falling in love with this kid.

He's Here!

Alden Lindsay Koschmann joined us on Sept 29, 2009 at 11:01 pm after only 6 hours of labor weighing in at 7 lb 8.5 oz, and measuring 20 inches long.

41 weeks

Wonderbug did not get the memo. While we would like to meet the stinker, we are finding stuff to do (e MAKING a new comforter cover, does this induce labor?; e and lois on lake washington). Visit with the midwives on Monday, hopefully labor before 42 weeks (10/2), or else we have to talk about induction . . .

Rock on - (impending) dad

due date, come and gone . .

Due date (saturday), came and went uneventfully. Sort of running out of things to blog on, but left with a fair amount of down time, so Im going to blog anyway, darnit. Jenny, above, who shared our due date did respond to the due date, a healthy boy born last night.

Did take one more trip to an island, this dog followed us around the beach. A couple seals in the sound barking at us from 100 yards out.

Elizabeth is feeling great, still sleeping well and exercising everyday. Appointment with the midwives on monday. Will keep everyone posted. . .
