28 days my foot...HE'S HERE! :)

Wow! Little did we expect when we awoke this morning that by 4:57 p.m. we would be parents, but it happened nonetheless. :) We are the proud parents of Karsten Brenner Dew, who weighs in at 6 lbs, 3.5 ozs and is 19 inches long. Mother and baby are doing well and we appreciate everyone's continued prayers. We are indeed blessed above measure.

Pictures? Oh, yes...hopefully we can get some pictures posted tomorrow.

Good night all!

Signed,

The Proudest Father in the Whole Wide World

Oh! Oh! 28 days till "D" day

It's official...just 28 days until "D" day. The doctor confirmed it again last week. If Little Dewdrop hasn't arrived by the 13th of August, the doctor is set to induce labor. Stay tuned...we are preparing for the grand debut.

More pics are on their way of the nursery etc. :)

Baby Dew's first shower

Wow! I'm still overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and generosity. To all the wonderful UMR folks who hosted and attended last evening's shower for Baby Dew, Rachel and I offer our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.

You guys went far above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you for taking time out of your increasingly BUSY schedules and for being so generous to us. We truly appreciate you guys (and your gifts, especially the toys...). Needless to say we went home and played with them. :)

Baby received his first "Little Golden Book", his first little green frog, his first GLITTER and there was a ton of it. LOL After we got home, it took me 45 minutes to get it off all the gifts and off of me. hehehehe (I know, whin, whin, whin...)



Well, again we say, "much thanks to all"!

--Chris, Rachel, and Little Dewdrop
