Bella Meets Her Crew

Bella got to meet her big brother and sister this afternoon. Adie wasn't so sure, but William was stoked. Although he was convinced there was still another baby in mommy's tummy. Here he is holding Bella for the first time.

Seeing her big brother holding Bella made Adie want to get into the mix too.

Say Hello to Bella

Bella put us through quite the ordeal. Sunday morning an ultrasound showed that Bella's head was pointed down and ready to go. We decided to go for it and headed to the hospital that afternoon. I started pitocin and everything was proceeding according to plan. Our doctor then broke my water. That's when Bella decided that she was in charge.

Bella flipped herself around and managed to lodge herself into the transverse position (that's sideways for any guy who is reading this). It was off to the operating table after that.

I'll spare you the details, but the C-section was a blessing. Bella was tangled like a pretzel in her umbilical cord. The doctors performed wonderfully and I had a beautiful and healthy baby girl.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Going to the Hospital - Take Two

Heading back to the hospital this afternoon for our second attempt to deliver baby Threeco. Dr. Knutson checked Amy out this morning and Threeco's head is pointed down and ready to go. Hopefully there will be no more summersaults and we actually get our baby out today. William and Adie are ready to meet their new sibling. They want to take him (her?) to the pumpkin patch, which they have been waiting patiently for. Here's William and Adie with their new pumpkin (it lights up!).
