New photos (finally...)

Dad got on to me tonight when I called home, since I didn't have my pictures of Kaitlyn up yet. But they are there now. Sorry it took so long, but shouldn't run into this again. So you should see a link on the right of the page for Kaitlyn's pictures.



If you want a full size of any of the images, just shoot me an email and I will send you the larger image.



Tomorrow I get to drive Randi to the doctors to get her staples out. I'm not looking forward to that, since it was hard enough to see them cut her open. So then maybe about a week later, she will be able to drive herself again. But in the mean time, I am enjoying getting to spoil her, and get to do everything for her. I told her with the amount of pain she went through for this child, keeping the house in order for 6 weeks is an easy trade-off... haha..

Say hello to Kaitlyn Brooke...

Welcome Kaitlyn, we love you!!



That is what Kaitlyn got to hear all day Saturday when she arrived. That's right! Kaitlyn Brooke Moffat arrived Saturday, October 23, 2004 at 10:54am. She came out a whopping 8lbs even, and 19" long.



The delivery went well. There was some concern as to if Randi would be able to do a normal delivery, so after we consulted with her doctor, we decided that a C/section was the best choice at the time. So in went Randi, just as calm as could be, and then followed soon after was me, shaking so much I couldn't even put on the mask and hat they brought me to wear. But it was a great day. It took all of about 15 minutes in the delivery room, followed by about 45 minutes in recovery for Randi. We had a great time after the ordeal with lots of family and love surrounding us. Thanks to everyone that stopped by, called, and just sent their love. We appreciate it all.



Now, since I'm a dad now, and I have a camera, you better believe that there will be lots of pics. I have about 50 just from yesterday that I am going to get online soon, and that will be followed by the rest of the ones we get while in the hospital.. haha... That's right, I'm one proud dad (and one very proud husband)!

IT'S BABY TIME!!

Met with the doctor this afternoon, and it is baby time!! Randi and I check in tomorrow, and they are going to start her on some medications and IVs. The plan is that Saturday morning, if her water doesn't break on its own, he will break her water and hopefully 12-14 hours later, there will be little Kaitlyn.



The doctor said it is still a 50/50 chance that he may have to do a C-section, depending on any distress that might arise due to her high blood pressure and diabetes. But the plan is to have a normal birth.



So, wish us luck! We are sooo excited! I will get some pictures posted for all to see as quick as I can. Guess the next time I post, I will be "daddy" Jonathan... :)

Doctor's appointment yesterday

Just an update from the appointment we had yesterday. Still no word on when they might go ahead and take the baby. She was moving a lot during the non-stress test, and her heart rate is great. But the mid-wife just said that she would talk to the doctor and then we have to go back Thursday for another non-stress test, and then maybe we will get to talk to the doctor.



In the earlier appointments, they said they would go ahead and induce her at 39 weeks, and that is this coming Saturday. So who knows what the doctor has decided to do now.. haha..

Updated ultrasound photos and....

I wanted to let you all know that I have put the new ultrasound photos online. You can use the 'Ultrasound Photos' link on the right side of this page to view them. I added them to the existing ultrasound photos. They are the last 6 when you view the gallery. I have also added a description with each of the pics to sort of explain what you are looking at.



We go to the doctor on Monday, and we are meeting with "the" doctor. We are getting close now. We are hoping that we might be able to schedule a day when we meet with him. Anyway, if that happens, I will let you all know!

Ultrasound update

Just wanted to let everyone know about the ultrasound we had today in OKC.



The doctor said everything looks good. We are STILL having a girl.. haha.. She has a little hair on her head. She weighs in at about 7 lbs (6lb 15oz to be exact). The computer did move Randi's due date up from Oct. 27th to Oct. 23rd. So we might have her here the weekend after my birthday!!



Another cool thing about the ultrasound was that we got to see her mouth move like she was eating.



I also have some pictures to put online from the ultrasound, but those will have to wait until tomorrow.

Festival pictures

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have the festival pictures I was speaking about online now. Again, just some general shots I took of things I thought were cool. To find the photos that my department took for the Chickasaw Nation, you can go to www.chickasaw.net and then click the banner on the front for the Chickasaw Nation Meeting and Festival. That will take you to the picture section. We have tons of pictures we are picking through for that, so not all events have been populated yet.

OKC ultrasound next Tuesday

Well, for those of you watching the calendar, we have less than 3 weeks left, and there will be a new addition to our family. Things are going good, and Randi has been going to the doctor's office 2 times a week for non-stress tests, and everything has been good.



This next Tuesday, Oct. 12, we have another high-resolution ultrasound in OKC at the OU Health Center. These are the ultrasounds that her doctor here is having her do since she is a high-risk pregnancy.



So there might be some new pictures of little Kaitlyn next week, we will just have to see if we get a good ultrasound tech that knows what they are doing, unlike last time.



Now, for those of you wondering.... "hmmm... is he getting nervous yet?"... Well, the answer to that question would be YYYYEEEESSSS!!!!! I'm very nervous, but way more excited. This is such a huge blessing that I'm not that scared at all... Plus, I know that between my family and Randi's family, we have a support network like no other! Thanks to all of them, we love you very much!

Fun at the Festival

Well, some of you might have noticed the image up there by the page title. I just added that today. It is a picture taken of me and Randi at the Chickasaw Nation Annual Festival and Meeting. I was "Mr. Press", and it was pretty cool. I had a blast getting to cover that for the first time. Lots of new things to see and do.



There was also new things to eat, but most of you that know me well, well... you know I'm not one for new foods... lol...



Anyway, it is a week long festival that takes place the last week of September every year. So next year, if you are looking for something fun to do and especially if you are into museums and learning about other cultures, come out and check it out. I'm sure I will be there again every day next year, so come out and join me.



I'm going to be putting some pictures that I took of the festival online this weekend. I think over the days I covered, I took around 800 + photos. So I will narrow those down to the good ones.. :)
