Logan's Birth
After Holly received her epidural at 2.30am, we tried settling down to get some rest before pushing. I slept terribly...bits and pieces of sleep here and there. During one of those sleeps, though, I was awakened around 7am by the stirring of nurses and Dr. Loeb entering and leaving our room. I was VERY out of it and had to take quite a bit of time to understand what was going on. Holly was whispering to me that she was going to be pushing really soon, so, at the prompting of the nurses, I got up and grabbed one of Holly's legs to get her in the birthing position. After a half-hour of pushing, I suddenly remembered that I had wanted to record Logan's first cries, so I quickly turned to get the camera recording just as he was being born...

putting the kid to the test
Hols hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. Nausea and overall discomfort are keeping her from eating and drinking fluids in confidence that she'll be able to keep them down. The baby hasn't been quite as active recently either, so, we consulted the doctor, and she scheduled a non-stress test to make sure he was okay.
The monitor shows the baby's movement (based on heart rate) on the top graph, and Holly's contractions are tracked on the bottom graph. We were able to hear his heart beat and activity in the womb for the duration of the test. Holly was very encouraged to feel that much closer to him by hearing him in addition to feeling him.
The test results showed that he's quite active and responsive. He's just chilling until his time comes. :) Holly thinks he comes tomorrow. We'll see!

milky way
In honor of Halloween, here is a photograph of the Milky Way galaxy. What's cool about this photo is that it is a panorama of more than 3,000 individual photos composed by Dr. Axel Mellinger of Central Michigan University. He traveled more than 26,000 miles to places like South Africa to collect all of the digital photos. He claims this panorama is 1,000 times brighter than what we would see with the naked eye and boasts that no stargazer could see this complete image from any one point on earth.
