Pictures, Pictures of Kids and Babies, Rocks and Smiles
We have more pictures! Of course, there’s nothing to say except they’re of my beautiful children and a couple have their funny lookin’ dad in them:

Two Kids, a House and a Yard
Babies are fun. Toddlers are more fun, especially when they can talk and play games; but, babies are fun in their own way. Brian is 8 days old now, and he’s trying to lift his head, is really good at flailing his arms and kicking his blankets off. He still sleeps a lot, but is now spending more time awake and staring at us. I love it. His little eyes are focusing and moving in the same direction (no more cross eyes… at least most of the time).
It’s fun finding out which body parts look like someone else in the family. In comparing baby pictures, Brian looks almost exactly like Max at the same age. Brian is a little longer, a little heavier and has (we think) a slightly bigger head. But, we’re probably going to have to start marking baby pictures so we know who’s who.
We’re now a family of four. I have two kids. Ok, I think it’s sunk in now.

We finally have the pictures up! Bask in the warm glow of brand new baby. I’m going to bed.

Photopalooza!
It’s Heather again with another update. I’ve been trying to get a web gallery up of the pictures I took of cute not-so-little Brian, but my computer’s acting up. So instead, you’re going to get three individual links. Just. Like. This. Number three is by far my favorite – it’s the Thinking Baby! More later, I promise… if my computer will cooperate.

Here he is, Brian David Lawver (named after Jen’s dad), less than ten minutes old, and beautiful. Heather took a ton of pictures which she promised to post soon. Keep your eyes peeled for a link.

Big Baby!
My name is Heather, I’m Kevin’s little sister – I’m posting for him by proxy because he has some important news. 🙂 Jen went into labor early this morning, and at 10:55am, their new son was born! He weighs in at an impressive nine 36cm, and we’ll have pictures up as soon as I can get to the hospital with my digital camera. 🙂 Both Jen and the baby – whose name they haven’t told us yet (!!!!) – are doing great. I’ll update with more information as soon as I’ve received it. Isn’t this exciting?! 😀 Happy Birthday, New-Lawver, and welcome to our crazy world.

Thuddius Giganticus
I went with Jen to her OB appointment yesterday, so I could see our baby. Doctor GoGo (a story for another time) wanted another sonnogram to check the size of the kid because Jen is measuring “large”. We arrive in the little room with the dim lights and Jen exposes the Belly that contains the Baby. Goop was applied, and the magic wand started showing us our kid. The tech started taking measurements, and then redid them. And redid them again. And one more time after that. The measurements all point to us having a gigantic baby. Right now, today, four weeks before Jen’s due date, the estimate is that the baby weighs….
10.6 pounds!!!
Needless to say, we were a little shocked. After all the remeasurements to make sure she had it right, the tech laughed, and asked us to tell her how big the kid is when it’s finally born. Of course, the ultrasound could be wrong. It could be off a pound and a half in either direction. Which means… we could either have a 9 pound baby or a 13 pound baby… TODAY!! Jen’s not due for another four weeks, and the kid could gain half a pound a week for the next four – that’s two whole pounds. Let’s do some math. We could end up with a baby between 11 and 15 pounds. All the newborn clothes are going right back in their bags, back in the boxes, and back in the closet. The kid’s going to walk out.
Last night, we were trying to come up with names for our goliath child. If it’s a girl, I think we’ll name her Giganta or Thundara. If it’s a boy, Thud has a nice ring to it. Or, we could be biblical and name him Goliath. It’s really up in the air at this point.

The Other Lawver Blogger
My little brother asked me this week what it would take to set up a blog. He played right into my trap. It took twenty minutes to set up the new domain, MySQL db, an hour to wait while Dreamhost got them all set up, then another 10 minutes to install and configure Textpattern. I’m still getting used to Textpattern (the look is all my fault), so look for changes, and maybe a real domain name in the future. With all that said, I proudly present, my little brother, compatriot, super pal and best friend: Tim (the mighty).
