Here's little Farrah last night. She's a champ, and looks like Bella when she sleeps, but not so much awake. Can't wait to see what she looks like a week from now, when the swelling and red skin dissipate a bit.
Katie is doing great, feeling great, and is already moving around exponentially more than she did last time. Thankful to God for all the blessings.
Friends, some have asked about visiting, and unfortunately, it's highly unlikely that we can accept non-family visitors. Because of the H1N1 flu, visitation has been greatly-restricted. Just ask my brother, Brian, who walked in for ten seconds, and was all but thrown out by "Devil Nurse," who actually turned out to be a pretty nice lady in the end. We'll have to do home visitation instead...

Farrah Kate Green
She's Here. She's beautiful. Still waiting on weight and length. Time was 1:56pm.
Momma is doing remarkably well.

LABOR Day - 1:30pm
10CM!!
We're at 10cm, but casually waiting for the doctor to return, with her staff, before pushing. All of you 2 o'clock-hour guessers are on to something. We'll start pushing somewhere around 2pm.
More to come...next update may be the baby's stats!

8CM!!!
Whoa, Katie is rocking and rolling. Looks like an early afternoon baby! Checking with the Dr. at 1:30pm, and we'll probably start pushing.

LABOR Day - 10:45am
Still progressing. Contractions are hanging around 2 minutes apart. Getting way more painful. Waiting for Dr. Siegel to return for her next visit. In the mean time, I've been keeping her (annoyed) entertained with Christmas Music, especially The Chipmunks. I don't think she likes it.
Katie just ordered the epidural. No more pain in a few minutes.
Here's a video of the room environment about an hour ago...

Dr. Siegel just came in and broke Katie's water and upped the pitocin. Katie is at 2cm. Funny enough, she was having contractions six minutes apart before we even arrived, but because she's a trooper, she didn't even know.
The doc thinks Farrah will be about 8.5 lbs. Good times. Here's a little video so you can sit in the room with us.

6:00am
It's about 6:00am, and this is already so different than when Katie had Bella. First, Katie didn't have contractions for two solid days before we arrived at the hospital. Second, it's like checking into a hotel. Gregg and Julie were at the house at 5:30am to help get Bella off to school this morning (oh, and Bella slept in her big girl bed for the first time last night).
We're both very relaxed, and more importantly, Katie is completely comfortable. We're getting settled in the room, and getting ready for the day. Praying for a noon delivery. HAHA!

Zoo with our Big Girl
Friday we took Bella to the Zoo. I keep trying to eat up each moment with "just the three of us!" Bella loves the zoo, and loved showing daddy the birds, g-raffs (giraffes), zebras and elephants.
But I also think she could love a park with just hand washing stations. The girl would wash, dry, wash, dry, wash, dry. Loves it.
We rode on the back of the train for the first time (faces backwards).
It was a BEAUTIFUL day, and weekend, and we are so thankful for our soon-to-be Big Sister!

The Countdown is On!
So, I am getting induced at 6am on Thursday morning!
Chris, who documented so well with Bella (click here to see!!), will be the communicator for all of you interested! He did so well last time. We read through these the other night, and he was like, "I gotta do that again!" So be checking the blog Thursday for updates :)
Now for a little fun -- Guess the following questions by commenting on this post. Let's see who wins / gets the closest!
1) Time Farrah will be born
2) Birth Weight
3) Birth Height
4) Who will she look like? (just for fun)
Bella was 8 lbs 2 oz and 21" long - born at 8:36 on a Thursday night...

Sprinkles
I have such great friends.
Our small group girls threw me a surprise "sprinkle" a few weeks ago. We showed up to group and the girls took me out to Everybody's Pizza and had some super cute gifts and diapers for Farrah. (While the boys stayed back and babysat the kiddos!) They are so great. (Pictures to come!)
Last weekend, my best friends hosted a sprinkle at Morgan's house - we got together with husbands and watched the game. They even had a theme:
The food was soooo good. So good in fact, Morgan ran out of her yummy chili! :) They decorated so cute. I didn't expect all of that. I felt so loved by both groups. And I love just hanging with them.
Here are some shots from last weekend. We took pictures a little late, so we missed some folks being in the pictures. But thank you to all that gave us diapers and wipes!!! I feel so prepared now :)
"About to Pop" Decorations:
With Morgan's cute tissue balls:
Some of the girls!
Melissa, Kristy, Morgan, Me, Kelly and Chelsie.
And the boys playing frisbee:

Wiggles
Last Sunday, Bella and I went with Amanda and Noah to see the Wiggles!
Now, one of the best parts is how we got these tickets... My mom heard on the radio that a certain car dealership was giving tickets away if you test drove their car. Who better to do this than my Granddaddy? He loved it, and loved being able to give them to Bella! :)
I didn't bring our camera, and snuck in our FLIP camera b/c the tickets said no video recording. But then, the Wiggles guy was like, "Feel free to take as many videos as you want!!" I did so, but it's hard to catch stuff in the dark. Here are a couple of Bella and Noah getting down:
And when we left, Bella told Noah, "Hold Hands!" And they held hands the whole way out. I think Noah was a little puzzled. It was awesome!!!
What a fun, memorable time - Bella's first concert! :)
