celebration dinner

thank you lexie and casper… garibaldis is awesome. at the hospital they provide you this ‘champagne dinner’ which consists of basically overcooked steak or chicken, some boiled vegetables and apple cider. they don’t even give you champagne. we learned all this the first time out with owen… it’s all well intentioned, so [...]

becoming a mom 2nd time around

even though i had pitocin and an epidural, i felt completely aware of the process. the experience this time around was so much more relaxing and enjoyable. i was so much more in tune with what was happening. i knew when to ask for the epidural, i knew when i was close [...]

(relatively) live blogging of the sequel

(more photos here)
august 3rd, 2008
(6:50pm): checked into cpmc — went to the old ob checkin. they’re remodeling, we had to walk around the hospital. thank god kara isn’t in active labor. she would have been pissed.
(6:58pm): kara gets her last bit of blood drawn (yay!) michelle helped her out.
(7:10pm): sequel named daudrey [...]

coming soon…

final gut-check updated.  kara and i are heading into the hospital tonight at 7pm to start the induction process.  we know it’s early compared to the due date, but when faced with being overdue (again) and the fact that next week is a prosperous week on the chinese calendar (8/8/08 is a sign of prosperity, [...]

saturday night

‘ow.’ ‘ugh.’ ‘ow.’ ‘ugh.’
rinse, repeat.
we think the baby ‘dropped’ as they put it.  marc and aimee were here waiting for the: ‘holy crap, it’s on!’ sort of signal so we could all leap into action and take kara to the hospital.
no news yet.  any day now.

uh oh!

so… k-jo went to the doctor today to find out that the baby cannon is 1cm and she’s 20% effaced.  this little one might be here sooner than we expected?

sequel update

kara went to the hospital this wek for four hours to get tests to see if she has gestational diabetes.  evidently it is fairly common in pregger people, but definitely wasn’t something she had with owen.  maybe this has something to do with my previous post about her love of oreo cookies and  ben and [...]

beer… er… daddy juice.

so… this is awesome. kara is craving beer. to understand kara’s relationship with beer, you have to go back to college. she hated it. and i mean wouldn’t kiss me on the lips hated it. even the fruity beers that sam adams used to make. she hated those too.
what’s [...]

gut-check update

hey everyone.  now that the sunday is over — we’re on track to follow sequel through the stages that owen went through. we’re trying to keep a week-for-week account so that there will be pictures taken in the same window as owen.  it’s shaping up to be a totally different pregnancy.
kara hasn’t grown any leg-hair [...]
