Valerie Dianne

Born on July 24, 2007 at 11:08 P.M. 7 lbs, 12 oz. Valerie is doing very well and Ethan is adjusting to being a big brother. Mom and Dad are incredibly proud!

Where are you?!

Ethan's sister's due date is here, but his sister is not here yet. We are anxious and excited, but in truth could probably use the extra time to get a few more things done at home & work. Mentally though, having our second child is almost as incomprehensible to us as having our first!

Not yet! But soon!

He likes ice cream now

Happy he's going to be a big brother?




The baby is due on July 18th. She is supposed to be a girl, but Steve and I have both had dreams that the baby is a boy. Also, some familiy friends were expecting a girl and their baby surprised them by being a boy! I personally think she feels like a girl- her movements are more graceful than Ethan's were. Been having plenty of painless contractions and doing lots of cleaning/organizing.

In case you are interested, I started a new blog about my attempts to maximize our genetic potential (you can find it in the
"links" section of this blog).
