Wow, what a perfect day! We are wiped out but so excited. It is so fun doing this all over again but this time knowing what’s going on. We’ve had two diaper changes, one outfit change because of some spit up and two sneezes. (Down 10 sneezes from Nya’s first day.) And after Niki’s three […]
From Alaska
Calm After The Storm
Its been 3 hours and everything’s great. Elli got a bath and nursed, Niki and I both ate and now it’s time to get some much needed rest. Looks like we’ll be in the hospital until tomorrow evening so feel free to stop by later.
More Pictures
Visitors are welcome this evening. We should all be cleaned up by then…
She’s Here!
10:43am Sept. 3, 2009 Elliana Grace Schemanski was born at 8lb 4.1oz and 21″ long. Mom and baby are both doing great!
Intensifying!
Contractions are 2 minutes apart and getting pretty intense.
It’s Really Gonna Happen!
Giddy Up! Dr. Sheridan just checked Niki and she’s 5cm, 90% effaced, and at station -1. Everything’s looking good so she broke Niki’s water and now we wait; contractions seem to be picking up a little bit. One way or another it’s going to be less than 24hrs and Elli’s going to be here!
This Time, This Time, This Time (Bee Movie)
Here we go again, but this time is different. We’re not coming home until Elli’s out. It’s 6:50am and we’re just getting to the hospital to start our adventure. After Niki’s 14th restless night, we’re ready to get this show on the road. Doc Sheridan is going to check Niki at 7am and if things […]
Running A Quart Low?
What a roller coaster… Today Niki had a Dr’s appointment to see how things are progressing and as they were looking at the baby with the ultrasound machine Dr. Sheridan said, “Wow, I haven’t seen that before!” Those aren’t really the words you want to hear from your doctor who has delivered hundreds of babies… […]
Five saltines in a minute?
It’s that time of the night again… Matt dares me to eat something and as always, I go for it. OK, this one’s not near as bad as yesterday. It’s a little known fact that it’s extremely difficult to eat five soda crackers in one minuteSo there’s really not much to my story other than […]
That’s not a Habañero. Is it?
It’s that time of the week again; Matt dares me to eat something and I naively oblige. This time it was a little red pepper that was sitting on the counter. No monetary incentives since we didn’t know if it would be hot or not, just adventure. I took a bite off the end and […]
