Chris and Jenni

After a long night of labor, Jenni was able to deliver our son, Connor Andrew Burns.
He was born at 6:34am, and weighed in at 9lbs 14 oz. two ounces shy of 10 lbs!
Jenni is resting now and I am falling assleep as I type this. Going to get some sleep.

I’m 40 weeks pregnant today and I’m in labor on my due date! It’s kind of hard to believe that I’m going to have a baby on my due date, on October 31st no less. I went to see the midwife at 6:30, our good friends the Tafts watched our kids for our appointment, it […]

This morning I woke up at 1:45 with one of those dozy contractions. And then another 15 minutes later. Usually when I feel this kind of contraction in the middle of the night, it’s the real deal. That was six hours ago and I’m still having them really strong, but they are only coming every […]

Well to be honest with you, since I found out my due date was October 31st, I kind of hoped our baby was born on his due date. The chances are kind of slim, but yet possible. So far I haven’t had a baby born on his or her due date, but there’s always a […]

Feeling like the hours and days are dragging on. Sorry if the tone of this post is a downer. Today I’m just feeling like crying, not wanting to answer the questions “how you doing today? Any changes?” Pretty much nothing is happening and I’m pretty sure he’s not coming today. So please just pray […]

Lately I have been braiding Guenna’s hair on the side like this but without the little braids. But half way through the day she has these little wispy hairs that drive her nuts, I either have to re-braid her hair or do something else with it. So today I had thought about putting little clips […]

Okay, I got one of the last things on my To Do List done. The baby’s sheet for his little bed. I finished it tonight, it was really easy.  And now you can come baby :)

I think Cait was a little bit jealous though, she really wanted me to take it off of the foam […]

Here are the ones who voted in our contest, and the dates and times they voted for. To be honest, I’m hoping for someone who voted for say the 27th of October, to be the winner! :) I just wish I knew when he was coming, then I could stop thinking, “Is THIS it?!!! Oh […]

This picture was taken today, and as you can see, I’m still pregnant. And a little tired! I had a long night last night, with two, two hour sessions of contractions an “stuff” and thinking that the baby was coming sometime soon. And even this morning, we decided not to go to church at our […]

7:30am
To be honest, I was a little relieved when my contractions nearly stopped when I went back to bed at 3:00. I was feeling pretty sure though at the time, I had twice woke with the shakes along with the contractions. Which usually means my body is kind of in shoke because of the labor. […]

3:00am Friday, October 24, 2008-39 weeks pregnant…
I think, as weird as it seems to me, I might be in labor! I woke up about an hour ago feeling very crampy and sick. And for the last hour I’ve been having very crampy contractions that stop when I stand up so who knows. I’m having a […]

I went to see the midwife tonight, I have one more appointment (next week, the day before my due date). Then after that I refuse to even think about having to go again ;) So far, I have never had to go that far after my due date. I’ve made some progress finally, I’m actually […]

As you can see from my list below that I’ve been working hard these past couple weeks since I made this list. Who knows, maybe if I get it all done early he will come early, and then again maybe he wont and I will just have to add more things to my list! I […]

I’m looking for a good buttercream frosting recipe. The recipes that I’ve been using for the frosting for my birthday cakes, I’ve not liked very well. I need a recipe that is really tasty, not too sweet, and stiff enough to make a good border on a cake. Anybody have a good tried and […]

Okay, today is Eamon’s birthday. We had a fun time visiting the midwife, going to our friends, dropping off the girls, then taking the boys to the eye doctor (Aidan has had a couple eye doctor appointments, I think he just has allergies). Then went back to our friends, visited for awhile longer, then went […]
