8 lb. 8.5 oz.

20 1/2"

Placerville, CA

Natural birth... fun fun We had 24 hours of random, or 10 min apart contractions... went to the hospital & hung out for 3 hours ( midnite - 3am) went home, went back around 6-7 am and baby born just before 1 pm. Had nice drugs... supposed to be able to walk around, but i was pretty numb in the legs, not that i wanted to go for a stroll anyway. Think i had 2 refills, they wore off every 2-3 hours. contractions are for the birds...

He is now 3 weeks old & is weighing in at just under 9 1/2 lb. & has grown 1/2". Doctor said he's "perfect" at his 2 week check-up. and he goes back at 2 months. I had his portraits done & they should be back next week... and i ordered "announcements" so, those will go out soon.

Mom is just about fully recovered... some things are still a little painful, like running... I tried that today. We'll see how Turbo Jam goes tomorrow.

Chad's family comes into town this weekend! Should be fun...

Looking forward to Harry Potter movie... though i really wasn't fond of Order of the Phoenix... took me 3 starts to get through the first 5 or so chapters... and i finally pre-ordered book #7 I think Amazon.com has it cheapest, without going to a store to pick it up. we don't live near any bookstores... like 25 miles away... so, ordering it makes sense.

Hope all is well with everyone! If you're still reading this on this website, you need to get Facebook! Hmmm... maybe i need a new blog site since this one is supposed to be for Jake. Jake is good... now 2 years 5 months old & wants nothing to do with the potty. Otherwise, he's obsessed with Razor scooters. the heat let-up today & we got to play outside. scooter & soccerball, plus i think he got to feed the chickens & collect eggs. THe blackberries are starting to ripen, yummmm....

anyway... all for now, time to watch a movie! :-) much love to all!!!
