Going home today...

Right now Chloe is sunning herself, but soon we'll be on our way back
home. The docs thought she looked a little jaundiced, but we've since
been given the all clear. Rachel always did say yellow was her
favorite color.

Can't help but notice this will be the first time I'll be driving home
my new little family. Well, it'll be the first time with her being on
the outside.

19 1/2 inches long.

She and mom are resting peacefully, except every 2 hours, well, it's
feedin' time!

The nurses are prepping the room. Rachel's practiced one push, and
we're about ready to go. Just waiting for the doc to give the word.

The debate now, will she have hair or be bald? And what color?

Whoever recommended we bring goodies for the nursing staff, thank you.]]> http://whitehere.com/white/2010/02/almost-there.html http://whitehere.com/white/2010/02/almost-there.html Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:23:43 -0800 The epi is in...
And, a side note, can I just say how great Rachel did during the contractions?  She furrowed her brow sweetly and followed along with the breathing, but never cried.  Granted, she did say she wanted to rip her eyeballs out.  But between contractions she was smiling and laughing.

Now that my first duties as a coach are temporarily done, it's time to grab some lunch and rest up for the final stretch.  After all, she's taking a nap.  Why can't I?

She's doing great though.  Things are progressing nicely.  Oh, and the nursing staff rocks.

Thanks to everyone who's been sending us notes of encouragement and support!  We look forward to showing off Baby White to the world (and Facebook).

Babywatch 2010: Day +7...Mom and Dad will be here in an hour, jambalya and cornbread made for tomorrow, and house lookin lovely. Now if the cramping would make up it's mind if it was labor or just pain that would be sweet:/

From Kris:
In the meantime, we've prepped the house for her parents. And I've busted a toe. Fun times. I'd just returned from taking stuff to Good Will and filling the car up on gas (apparently, you're not supposed to let it go below half-full during baby-watch), and bang, nailed my toe on the curb. Stupid flip-flops.]]> http://whitehere.com/white/2010/02/babywatch-update.html http://whitehere.com/white/2010/02/babywatch-update.html Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:15:04 -0800 Almost time!

This IS the one-stop shop for updated Rachel-giving-baby news (whitehere.com). Just wanted to let you all know.

Right now, we're plus two days from her due date. And really, it's just a waiting game. A little frustrating at times, sometimes exciting. The weirdest part is just watching her belly shift sides. I know I learned this before, but it sank in last night... that thing is lopsided! The strangest is watching the whole thing shift as she flips over to a different side.

And yes, to answer your question, we have (more or less) a name chosen. It will be revealed on her birthday.
