Ian and Judiet

Current Mood: Ecstatic

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

When I thought of how a baby’s room gets decorated I thought it would be a simple task of putting in a cot, a changing table and few decorations. Was I mistaken or what. The room has had a complete over hall from Judiets study into what is now a beautiful baby’s room. We had to put up floating shelves, floating boxes, change this, hang this, move this and repack everything - twice. All of which at the time seemed like a massive pain the ass but when it was completed I was, and still am, glad we made the effort. The room looks fit for a princess. Here are a few pictures, more are in the gallery.

Note that the photos look crap because my camera was affirmatively shopped and these where taken on a cellphone camera.

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:

So we went to the doc today and we are glad to report that all is well on baby front. He says that she is still a she and that she has got long legs (like her beautiful mother). She is lying the in the correct position and still refused us to have a good look at her face as she kept blocking it with her arms and then completely turning away which meant we couldnt get a 4d scan. I have said Judiet must drink 2 cokes and have 4 chocolates before we go next time, both of them should be on a sugar high and move around a alot, which would then mean that we could get a good change for a 4d scan.

Here is a video of her face and arms:
