Chris and Jenni

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a post on my Homemaking Blog, but I did one this morning about the beets we harvested from our garden a couple nights ago. So exciting, and they are so beautiful!

How often are you supposed to wash your books?
Aidan did tell me that there was a book in the washing machine. I was having the boys help me load the washer and he had mentioned that there was a book in the washing machine. I checked but didn’t see anything, I just thought he was […]

I’ve been posting much more frequently as of late, don’t count on this roll continuing, it could definitely stop as abruptly as it started so don’t get used to it ;) I thought I would type out a few of my thoughts while Chris is on an errand to Wal-mart to purchase the VERY much […]

Here’s an update from Tam that she left in the comments. I thought I would post it just in case some of you missed it in the comments.
Hello, all. Because I have to pump at 1 a.m., half and hour from now, I’m going to post an update here. :-) Talk to the […]

Yesterday we had the privilege of spending the afternoon playing in one of the local park with the Searles family. Sue and most of her troops were camping this week and they went out of their way to come spend the day with us, what a fun day! Aidan, who is pretty shy around new […]

Talked to Tam this morning. She said that Eian is doing better today but still not 100% so he is still in the nursery. They had him on 25% oxygen in the little incubator and are weaning him down to room level which is only 21% so he’s almost there. Tam is anxious to get […]

Welcome to the world baby Eian! He was born at 4:27pm (Hawai’i time) and weighed 8 lbs 4 oz. You are such a beautiful little guy! We are so proud of your mama and papa, they’ve worked really hard to bring you here. Can’t wait to meet you sweetie!
Aidan, Eamon, Guenna and Cait were […]

Baby Eian Makana Watanabe, arrived at 4:27pm-Hawai’i time. Congratulations you guys!!! Tam, you rock! Hopefully they will send us a picture soon!

Just got a message from San, she’s at 9cm dilated and getting ready to push! I will post the news as soon as I hear. For her sake I’m soooo thankful she’s almost done!

Just talked to my sister, and she’s still laboring at home. She’s doing really well. San’s sleeping right now and she tries to sleep between contractions, so more like resting :) It’s so hard being here and not being able to help very much, now I know how she has felt my last three births, […]

Well, Tam and San spent the morning at the hospital and now they are heading back home to labor at home for awhile. She is only dilated to 1.5 but her contractions are still coming every couple minutes. She’s doing really well though and is in really good spirits. I gave her some suggestions about […]

Contractions are now 3 minutes apart, and really intense. They are heading to the hospital (I guess they wont need to go to their 3:00 doctor’s appointment!) Please pray for a quick and safe delivery. Can’t wait to see my new little nephew! I’m heading out so I wont be posting for a couple hours […]

I just got off the phone with my sister, she’s been having strong contractions that are about 5-8 minutes apart. She’s not completely convinced that today is the day but I think from how she sounded on the phone that things are definitely moving that way. Last night when I talked to her they sounded […]

Well, apparently Tam’s visit to the hospital was a false alarm. Anyone who’s had a baby knows how discouraging these last few days can be at times. At the same time they are thankful they have a little more time to get her better and out of pain before she goes into labor, please pray […]

No, not mine, I wouldn’t be excited about that! My sister’s water broke this morning. I got a text message from San this morning at about 4:50 their time (7:50am our time). She has had a couple of really hard days. She had some really intense back pain that last couple of days and called […]
