Noah Jameson Waters

We will try to update more soon . . . but for now . . .

Noah Jameson Waters
Born on Sunday, April 18th at 3:53 PM (Erin arrived at the hospital at about 3:15 PM!)
Weight: 6 lbs. 2 oz.
Length: 19 1/2 inches
Head: 13 inches
Chest: 12 inches
No drugs . . . they couldn't even get an I.V. into Erin before he was born.

For comparison:
Brynley weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz.
Sydney weighed 7 lbs. 5.8 oz.
(right now we can't remember their lengths)

Erin and Noah are doing well.

Brynley and Sydney are not allowed in the hospital and so they came to meet Noah through the window:

What we've been up to lately

It's been a while since I updated this thing and we've been busy. Brynley has been losing teeth and loving school, Sydney is learning to obey the first time she's asked (& if I have forgotten to post it, she's been potty trained for quite a while now - thank goodness!), I'm ready to have this baby, and Zach has started a new job.
We celebrated Easter for the first time at our place (I'm too pregnant to go 3.5 hours away). But over spring break we went to Grandma J's and Papa's to hang out. The girls played in the creek and ran around outside, which they don't get to do much of here due to the fact we have no yard and we live right off one of the busiest streets in Bolivar (the last part is of course, relative. if you live in a big city, Aldrich street is nothing). And we got to go to the St. Louis Zoo, if only for an hour or so.
Zach's job began earlier than we expected it to, and so I am sort of doing the parts of his old job that he cannot do now since he is at his new job. We will officially move off-campus in June and are trying hard to find a place to buy or rent. Neither seems to be going well.
