The Arrival of James Grant

James Grant Farrell (Jax) arrived Friday, Dec 11th at 3:45pm, 8 lbs 11 oz.

It has been a whirlwind couple of days but we (Jax, Jen and Grant) are out of the hospital and at home. Mom and Jax are doing well, learning to feed and learning to sleep in this new life stage. Enjoy some pictures of the last few days:

Day 3 - GOING HOME!!!

CATCH UP!

So many events have taken place since the last post.

The events include:

1. Answering questions about what JG's name will be;
2. Preparing the "baby room" for a crib and ... a baby;
   
3. Answering questions about why he will be called Jax (there is an "X" in his name... nuff said)
4. Moving Grant's stuff out of the "baby room" and into the dog room (the former dog room is now officially a man cave... with man's best friend);
5. Taking a final trip to California as a couple without kids (living dangerously and standing on fault zones);
6. Enjoying the gifts from the baby showers; and
7. Getting a 29th week sonogram.

Enjoy some pictures from these events



A very sweet Ballpark!

Proof that Jax was at AT&T PARK... only 28 more parks to go....




A redwood tree that is as big as the Statue of Liberty


A sign from the Fault Zone that I was not told we were going to.


Here is a picture of the Baby Room with the crib and all the "bedding"



We had our first baby shower recently and we received a "Sleep Sheep"... this thing makes soothing noise (like rain shower noise, whale noise...and a heart beat noise)... the dogs were very interested in this fluffy, noise making sheep:




Jax also got his first set of golf clubs from his Grand Abba (new word for Granddad)... good looking set though:


Here are the pictures from the latest Sonogram - 29th week. Doc told us that Jax was measuring like he was in the 32nd week... so words of a big boy were not that comforting to Jen.





Those pictures were really difficult to make out the figures, but that is all that we got. Nearing the home stretch now... we have about two months left. Due to the size of Jax, the doc wants to see us back on the last week in November for another sonogram. Could mean he may be big enough to deliver then. We'll find out more then. Have a great Day!

Week 18 - A Boy!

We went to the Sonogram specialist and received these pictures

You can see his face here:

And more profile


Here he is Mooning the camera... that's when the Doctor got confirmation that it was a HE. We also have a DVD of the 10min video appointment that I was not able to upload, but there was an additional confirmation shot on the DVD. HELLO SON!
Doctors said JG is progressing normally - fingers, toes, heart, kidneys, ribs, heart beat, brain, spine... amazing everything they can see (or claim to see). Birthday is still set for December 11... he is 9oz and about 8 inches long.

We will learn more at the 26th week checkup!
