Ziva has Arrived!!!

Finally, we have pictures from the birth!

I came through smelling like roses and felt no pain at all...

Did I mention that this was taken at the beginning of the process? I did not look so good after it was all said and done. :-P







The Doula took a picture of this sign because Chris got locked out of the hospital and could not find the emergency room entrance. Does anyone else NOT see that arrow? Haha






This is the delivery doctor, Dr. Bailey. He was gracious enough to take pictures with all of us.








Ziva with her Dad.







Ziva pondering the eternity of the universe. I swear, she's THAT smart!





Chris and Ziva holding hands






You gotta love that head of hair!

Ziva, wondering where her warm water sack went.

Chantal's Shower

Ok, I know this is two post in a day, so there is a lot here, but we are trying to get caught up. Here is the video from Chantal's Baby Shower at the house (there was one at work with more loots.) It was a very snowy day, so we were very pleased that people were able to make it. It was an awesome day and we all had fun. Be fore warned that it is a long video, but we didn't want to leave any of the highlights out. The being said, you may want to enjoy it during your first cup of coffee. :-)

Boy are we having fun!!

Tons of things have happened over the last week. Wanted to pop out and update everyone on all that is going on. First and foremost, I sewed a new bed for Kasha. :-) It is much easier for her to lay on this bed than on the wood floor. She is much more comfortable now during our long sessions on the computers.

Of course, after we laid down the bed, Thrall promptly stole it!

Now for the really big news of the week. lol I finally convinced Chantal that it was time to upgrade her car to something a little more safer for her and the baby. She was very relunctant and I had to pry her hands off the steering wheel of her little car, but she took a giant step. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you...

THE MOMMY MOBILE!!

That's right, The Mommy Mobile. Our compromise on fun and safety for her and the baby. It's a 2008 Hyundia Sante Fe. I think Chantal looks awesome in it.

I know, I think she looks great in everything. lol

It has all the talk radio she can handle via the little curly cue antenna on the back. lol We've already got it set up and ready go for the little diva, when she is ready to come home. :-)

It has plenty of room for Ziva's stroller and anything else mom needs to carry along for a fun day at the park. There is even room for Morris' cat cage for when he needs to go to the vet for his mean kitty shots. All the sales guy kept talking about was how the dash lites up all pretty in blue, so i had to take a picture of that. lolChantal really needed this and she deserves it. :-) Last time she went to the doctor, they told her to come back in a week, but she may go into labor before then. That has us really pumped and ready to go. I have an awesome, LONG, video of the baby shower that I am posting tonight sometime AND the baby's room and bathroom are FINALLY almost done. I will take plenty of pictures of that as soon as I can. So check back often and I will try to keep every one posted. OH and one last thing. I am considering twittering the birth, since I can do it from my iphone. It's probably not worth it unless people want to know the play by play, so i'm setting up a survey at the right of your screen. Select YES if you want me to twitter the birth (I have set up the blog to show twitter on the right side of the screen). Let me know if you are interested. It will be the most up to date info on the birth of Ziva. :-)
Thanks and Love you all,

Chris
