Not been on much... Because...

My wife Chelsea decided to spring a suprise on me... Left for Vegas on the 4th at about 2pm. About 5 hours from there she calls and tells me her water broke.

So I turn around and break every speed law known pulling a 34' trailer and made it back to the house in record time.

They say the third labor is very short. They lie. It was by far the longest and (from my perspective) the worst.

Jan 5th at 9:29pm we were given a new gift...








Sawyer Snow Oram. 5#2oz... She spend 10 days in the NIUC but everyday had something come off her, by day 4 she was on her own with just feeding and Jondis issues.

As of last night she is 5#14oz... Up from a low of 4#8oz.

My wife is amazing. She did not leave her side for the first 3 days, and then after that only to go home and shower. She would not leave if I was not there to watch her.

They are both at home now doing good!

I sure missed holding babies!
