The Wait is On

After 10 long months, Krista and I are waiting on the birth of daughter number 3. Krista is an absolute trooper - dealing incredibly well with the early stages of labor. We've been staring intermittently at TV and at the white board in our room. We have two names up on the board and we're trying to decide between them as we go along. I know, it's a little late to be playing the name game... but we'll know when we know. And you won't know before we do.

In the meantime, Krista is pushing hard on reflexology points trying anything to get this baby out.

More very soon, for now pray that this baby comes soon.

Back to Work ...

I'm going back to work on Monday after more than a week off. And I think I am getting the easier end of the bargain. I get to go be with adults (or as close as TV people get). Krista gets to stay at home with a newborn and a two year old. Krista's mom is still here in Houston and she's been a God-send.

It's been an amazing week. Babies take a few days to wake up and open their eyes in the new world. Kate's here now. She's always had great lungs and a healthy cry, but just this weekend I've really been able to look into her blue eyes and say hi.

She is an amazing little girl with an incredible big sister and a world championship mom.

Becoming a Big Sister

What a Week!!!

A Wonderful Day for a Beautiful (and big) Baby

Kate Everett turned our family of three into an ecstatic family of four this afternoon at 5:25 Houston time. Clearly she used her extra week in the womb well ... she weighs in at 9 pounds 15 ounces. Krista was as surprised as anyone else.

She is a beautiful little girl with a full head of light brown/dark blond hair.

Tonight Kate is learning to sleep and Krista is trying to get some much needed rest.

Tomorrow is Riley's second birthday... a little sister is quite a present.

Thank you for all your prayers. Ours have been answered.
