Welcome to the World!!

Elan Radcliffe Davenport was born on November 22nd at 12:27pm. He weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 21.5 inches long. Here are a few pictures of the little guy. Once I get a little bit of rest I'll write about Elan's birth and our hospital experience.

Still Waiting For Rad!

Well, the due date has came and gone...guess that is why they call it a guess date! Hopefully Rad will come any day! Our midwifes won't let us go past 42 weeks so Rad will be here, at the latest, on November 30th. Our hospital has wireless in each room so we will post pictures once Rad gets here.

Week 40!!

We have made it to week 40. My official "guess" date is on Sunday the 15th. Only 5% of babies are born on their due date..hence calling it a guess date. Anyway, hopefully this will be the last picture of just Puna and myself!

We had a really nice weekend. The weather was perfect so we spent much of it outside either hiking, walking or cleaning out the cars. Both cars have been cleaned and the car seat bases installed. We did get to spend an hour (at least) on Sunday relaxing on the lawn. Mat has worked really hard on our yard since we bought the house and it is really starting to show. We are hoping that next summer Rad will be crawling around in the beautiful back yard!

Welcome to Rad's Due Month!!

Well, November is finally here! Rad will be born sometime in the next 30 days!! Hopefully sooner than later. We kicked off the due month with a family hike on a unseasonably warm fall day. It seems like over the last few weeks I've been exploding in size, which has put a bit more stress on my lower back but knowing that Rad is almost here makes the pain a little bit more bearable.

We had another midwife appointment today. She said everything looks good but reminded us that usually first babies don't come until after their due date...which I think was a gentle reminder that Rad will come when Rad is good and ready!
