Birth
Discharge ?????
Saturday, April 23rd, 2005We have not seen a Dr. yet today. We are hoping that they will come around soon so that we can get discharged sometime today. It would be nice to start settling into the routine at home and relieve Grammy and Grandma and Grandpa Brown from their duties of taking care of the [...]
Gallery’s Ready
Friday, April 22nd, 2005Okay, I’ve got the pictures up and available on the web site. You’ll have to figure out where they are.
Just kidding, they’re right here. I haven’t cleaned up the layout (and it’s not very girly at all), but at least they’re up.
Enjoy!
[UPDATE: Oh, and I'll be titling the pictures and putting descriptions up over the [...]
Finally Decided
Thursday, April 21st, 2005And the name is…….Madeline Christine Brown!
Recap
Thursday, April 21st, 2005This is Bill. Sandi has my computer down at the hospital and I can’t remember my password to post under my own account. That’ll teach me to use unique, random passwords! [UPDATE: Edited authorship.]
First things first, we aren’t sure if we’re going to name her Eliza. We’ve always said that we want to see her [...]
Second Day
Thursday, April 21st, 2005More breastfeeding. Sandi’s doing great and our daughter could’nt be any cuter. I’ll get some pictures up soon.
Feeding Time
Thursday, April 21st, 2005Sandi’s breastfeeding the baby right now—she latched on right away!
She’s Here
Thursday, April 21st, 2005She was born at 11:09 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 10 oz. and was 19 and a half inches long. Sandi is doing well.
Gettin’ Ready
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005We’re about 15 minutes out now!
Awhile
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005There’s quite a crowd ahead of us so we’ll probably be going into the OR around 10 pm.
Triage Continued
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005Her liver and other organs are okay. I’ll post more soon.
Triage
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005Now we’re in our triage room. If memory serves, we’ll be here for awhile. Sandi will be having blood work done to make sure
Waiting To Wait
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005At the hospital right now…
Heading Out
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005We’re leaving shortly for the hospital. To use a bad joke, we’re going to make like a fetus and head out.
Do we deliver
Wednesday, April 20th, 2005We’re here at the doctor’s office and the doctor said that tonight’s the night!!!
The Beginning?
Sunday, April 10th, 2005Lots of contractions, six or seven minutes apart. Are we starting???
[UPDATE: Called the good doctor and he said to try laying down for a bit and see if the contractions subside. We got the suitcase packed and ready, so Sandi's going to try to get some shut-eye. I doubt I'll be able to, though.]
Test for the big day
Friday, April 8th, 2005This is just a quick test of my ability to post a message from my cell phone.
Preterm Labor
Sunday, April 3rd, 2005Today I had to go to the hospital because I was having contractions every 10 minutes and they would not stop, even if I was lying down. The on-call Dr. suggested that we go to Good Sam because if the conditions were favorable she would most likely be born. I was quite freaked [...]
At the Hospital
Tuesday, October 28th, 2003We just got moved to our final resting place at the hospital: the labor, delivery, and recovery room. Sandi’s right here next to me absorbing 36 mL of Pitocin per hour and contracting away. We got here around 3 AM and the worst part of the experience bar none was the insertion of the IV. [...]
She’s Here!!
Friday, October 17th, 2003At 1:00 PM, Kimberly Rose Brown was born. She weighs 7 lbs. 15 oz. and is 20¼ in. I got to watch the cesarean section as did Sandi and also videotaped it. Some day, when I have time, I may put up a short segment of the video but I wouldn’t hold my breath if [...]
Big Day Tomorrow!
Thursday, October 16th, 2003Tomorrow is the day that Kimberly Rose Brown will be born. It’s a scheduled cesarean section and I will try to get pictures up here ASAP as well as all the pertinent details.
We are so excited. To think that this is the last night of being a childless couple! It’s amazing to think about. Really, [...]
