We didn't have an appointment for some unheard of Star Trek or Star Wars creature; we had our first pre-natal appointment for Baby Goodwin 2!! This morning, the Goodwin family headed over to Dr. Harrison's office to get this pregnancy officially started. We have an official due date, now! BG2 should be arriving sometime around November 21, 2008. That means I'm about eight and a half weeks pregnant.

Well, we spilled the beans tonight. Ruby got a cool new shirt for easter:

In case you can't read it, here's the close up:

We love you all dearly, and we would appreciate LOTS of prayers for a very healthy and safe pregnancy that goes to FULL TERM! Mike is talking to Dr. Cooks tomorrow about his educational future. Please keep him in your prayers!

Most of you probably know, but at about 5:00 Sunday afternoon we had our first child. She weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces and is named Ruby Elizabeth. We will have tons of pictures up soon, but it may take a few days to get back to a fast and consistent Internet connection.

Hey everyone!

Today is the one-week mark since I was admitted to the hospital. Praise God for the following:

1. Baby G is still cooking!
2. I am negative for the Strep-B infection. This is very good news for both baby and me!
3. I have no signs of infection, swelling, or any other complications.
4. Mike has been able to return to work without too much worry.
5. The nurses and staff of Home Hospital have been absolutely amazing.

As you know, Lindsay is in the hospital until the baby arrives. However, our friends and family still showed up yesterday to give her a baby shower at the hospital. She seemed extremely happy and thankful for everyone who showed up to give us their support and gifts. While the girls were having their shower, Dad took me and some family and friends to BW3’s for lunch (love the tender wraps). Then some of us went to see the movie “Children of Men”. I had heard good things from multiple people about the movie, but I didn’t really like it too much.

Hey everyone!

It seems as though Baby G has some plans of his/her own. On Wednesday morning, I started leaking a little bit, and on Wednesday night, I was admitted to Home Hospital. I have a tear in my amniotic sac. Don’t worry! Baby and I are just fine! All of our vitals are looking great, and the doctor estimated (from the ultrasound) that Baby G weighs about 5 lbs. already! The estimate can be off +/- 1 lb, so that gives us a range of about 4-6 lbs.

Hey everyone! Sorry this is so delayed. We had a little trouble with the new IE7 and our scanning software. (Grrr! Microsoft, you suck sometimes!)

I felt Baby Goodwin move this weekend. ( : On Friday night, we spent the night at the Goodwins, and we didn’t have an alarm clock in our bedroom. On Saturday morning, Mike woke up and needed to use the restroom. When he got out of bed, I rolled over onto his side (on my stomach.) When he came back to bed, he let me stay on his side, and he crawled into my side of the bed.

So, today is my birthday. My wonderful husband took me to my choice of restaurant for dinner. Of course, I chose Cracker Barrel (my favorite!) Dinner was really good, and we browsed the store a little before dinner. While we were paying our bill, I saw a display that I wanted to see closer.

I really thought about buying the apple-themed cup and saucer set. It came with four mugs, four saucers, and a little rack. It was displayed on the rack. I wanted to see how much it cost, so I went to pull it off the shelf.
