Ian and Judiet

Current Mood: Ecstatic

Right, so this has been coming for a while now and eventually we have got internet at home again and im able to upload some pics. So here are the quick things that you may need to know:

1.) Addison has got 2 teeth. Here is a picture

2.) She wants to stand most of the time so we got her a cool bouncy playring.

3.) She is eating cereal for breakfast now - within a week it will be at night as well. Veggies are next

4.) She is almost crawling - needs a few more co-ords and she will be there.

5.) Judiet and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary with a nice picnic.

That is just a brief run-down of what’s been happening, here is a list of galleries with more photos in them.

This is just a quick update to say that things are going quite well at the moment. Judiet and Addison are back home and settling in nicely. I must say that being at home is VERY different from being in the hospital but I dont have any complaints. Judiet is still in some pain, but verything biologically is doing what its supposed to so things are good on that front.

Addison has slight Jaundice which has required 3 blood tests in as many days which is more disturbing for Judiet than Addison and its not over yet, tomorrow there will be another one which will hopefully show that the billirubin levels are dropping and she wont have to have phototheraphy. The only bad thing about tomorrows tests is that they require that she not be breast fed for the next 24 hours, so its going to be bottles until then.

I have uploaded some new galleries of photos:

• Addison Day 1
• Addison Day 2
• Addison Day 3
• Addison Day 4

More details about everything to come soon, as well as some videos which are awesome!

Yep, the time has finally arrived and we are now parents. Our beautiful daughter Addison Caitlyn Barnes was born at 10:35 am on 22 April 2008 and was 3.79kilos large and measured up at 54cm. At the time of this post baby and mom are doing well and things are looking good. Attached is a picture of us although check out this link for more pictures.

Also a full report on the whole birth will come later

So we had the 30week checkup today and im very glad to report that all is going well. She, as we could have expected, acted like a princess and refused to show herself to us - so no 3D scan again. I suppose its best that we have one surprise when she is born!

Mom is doing well as well apart from being tired and constantly uncomfortable - but all looks set for her big arrival on the 24th of April or a couple weeks around that. Below are some pics that I managed to take out of the videos he took and after the page jump there are plenty more videos and photos.

Here is a photo of her head:

Here is a video of her Yawning:

Long time, no surprise.

Wow, lots to write about. Let me start with Judiet having to go into hospital on monday evening for an appendectomy. At about 8:30pm she complained that her stomach was getting worse (she had a bladder infection the week before), so I dragged her to the hospital where they concluded it could be 1 of 3 things. Her appendix, ovarian cysts, or an ectopic pregnancy. After drawing blood, they called a surgeon down to look at her appendix. He poked around and concluded that with about 90% confidence it was her appendix, and 10% that it was an ovarian cyst. Either way they would need to operate on the same area. She went in at about 10:30pm and was out by 11:30pm with everything going well. It was her appendix so it was removed. She spent 3 days in hospital on antibiotics and is now recovering at home. Still another week until she can go back to work.

I got a new laptop. An HP NC8430. Its cool. Intel Core 2 Duo centrino thing. 256Meg graphics card, gig-o-ram etc. Its nice, still getting it all setup but so far so good.

There is lots more, just cant think of it now :\ Ill post more when I think of it.
