Chad, mom and baby are doing awesome. Sarah seemed a little depressed through the pregnancy, but she is back to being her regular (well mom) self :D Nora was born on 3/4/08 at 9:51 pm. It was a hard labor for Sarah and felt terrible for her the whole time. She started having hard, close contractions at 8pm on monday. We went to the hospital at about midnight that night, and stayed in the birthing room until midnight the next night :eek: I went a cool 60 hours without much more than a blink of sleep. When the baby came out she wasnt breathing well, and her heart rate was down. The ladies in the d elivery room did awesome and got her up and at 'em within a few minutes. She was all in all healthy though, weighing in at 7 pounds 4 ounces and 19" long (the exact same measurements as Sarah when she was born).

The best thing though, every one is happy, healthy, and home :D


Dave, haha. If the little girl came out with a goatee and a fro, we would all be scared :lol: Its a VERY good thing she looks like her mom.


Steve, thanks dude! Weve got family again this week, but maybe next week some time you and Jaime can sneak by and meet her.


Rick, thanks dude. Ive been meaning to give you a shout. I cant remember what I needed to ask you about though :lol: When I do, youll get a call from me :D


And to every one, now that Im settled a little, tank production comenses. I built the stand doors today. I got one mounted and hung and the other cut and fabbed. Once I get it fine tuned and hung, we will take 'em off and stain 'em!

Your sleep situation will only get worse.

[phishguyatstore]

Landon, I know Sarah is happy, She seems to love kids.
You guys will make wonderful parents.
Congratulations to you both.

She'll stabilize. Kelly was the same way with Zoe. No problems at all with Garrett. Maybe it is all that extra estrogen from girls.

Congradulations Landon!!!

She's a Bute!!!

[H2OLUVSME]
