Step Two

Dr. King just stopped by. Shan is having a great start. In order to speed the labor process it's common for the doctor the "break the water." So about 5 minutes ago the doctor performed that simple task, so we should be on our way to the races. They estimate we could be here another 7-10 hours, but everyone is different.

Here's a pic of the baby's heart monitor (110-160) beats per minute is good. Yeah, pretty fast!

The BIG Day!

Good morning,

Today Shanny and I are at St.Lukes Hospital in Boise to have our little one. Shanny was up this morning at 5:30 with a shower, good breakfast and hair and make-up. She wants to look good for the baby, hahaha.

Our room is nice , and our nurse Tia is super nice and accomodating.

At this moment Shanny has an IV, and they started with the drug Pitocyn (sp) to start labor contractions. She answering all of the preliminary questions, allergies, last time she ate, etc... We hope everything goes well today and speaking for myself, "Super Excited!" Mommy to be is a bit nervous, and just started her first contraction of the morning.





Stay tuned!

Last Day!

Rebecca, Lyn, Holly and Me!
Thursday was my last day of Pre-Natal Water Aerobics. It was a fun class, we played basketball in the deep end, which believe it or not it is a pretty good workout. Gets your heart rate going and your stomach muscles stronger from laughing so much. Holly our instructor had a banner and cookies for my goodbye treat. It was very sweet of her. We also did our famous Thriller routine again for the last time! It is hard to say goodbye, but exciting because that means the baby is coming soon. I really enjoyed going to the class. I have meet some great women that I hope to continue a relationship with once we have our babies. Holly started crying when class was over, which you can't do in front of a pregnant person, I started once I got in the car. I was one of her original students. I am glad I had the opportunity to take this class, it helped with the swelling and helped me not feel like I was actually doing something good for me as I was growing daily.

Prego Thriller!

What you all have been waiting for! Pre-Natal Water Aerobics making a Thriller movie, what's scarier Michael Jacksons version or the prego version. I am in the back left in the white skeleton mask. We had a lot of fun just being dorks that day, I have not laughed that hard in a while.

Shooting Trip

Porter was ready for some action

The Bronco got to go on a much needed Dirt trip, it has been lonely since we moved to Idaho

All it needs is Josh's orange blazer next to it!

Matt setting up the targets

The road to nowhere! Look how pretty the sky is, cold but great day for a guys trip.

Danny and Matt went shooting about 15 minutes from the house Saturday, they took Matt's dog, Porter some targets and dusted off there guns. It was the first time in a very long time that Danny got to shoot his dad's shotgun that finally got fixed. They did a little unexpected offroading and only broke one weld on the tire carrier on the back of the Bronco. From the looks of the MUDDY Bronco they had fun.

Sorry it's sideways I took the video the wrong way on the camera!
