Home Sweet Home

OK just a quick update to let you all know that we are in fact HOME!! Were just chilling out right now, if you want to come for a visit give us a call and we'll see how the girls are doing.

The nurse came in and said I've talked to Dr. Almas and she won't be in till later in the afternoon but she said if you want to go you can. We both jumped up and I took all the gifts and flowers to the Van and then came back for Mommy and Baby.

We stopped at Walmart quick and headed home, some friends from outta town stopped by and are hanging out fun fun :D

Blessings all

Edit:
Our friends all took off and were just chillin out, such a blessing to have good friends. They blessed us with Lunch from Pizza Hut and there's enough left overs for us to pick at it for the rest of the night. Tristan was holding Olivia again and getting her a blanket. He's enjoying her and when she was sitting on the couch he wanted to get changed into a sleeper like hers and cuddle beside her. He brought his cars blanket and covered her up cause she was cold. Its cool, I pray that he will treasure her always! We're making a point to include him in everything because we don't want him to get jealous or anything. So far so good. Mommy is going to spend some quality time with him after the next feeding/changing he'll like that!

Later!

Day 2!

Hi All!
Thanks for the comments we appreciate them all Christy can hardly wait to get home to be welcomed and congratulated by her blogging buddies and family members! Thank you to all the visitors today you blessed us!

Mommy and baby both did Great last night Olivia slept pretty much through the night one hick-up is about it but I won't go into to many details, long story short Christy had to get some assistance which she hates doing especially when the nurses who already do so much are swamped like they were. But it was all sorted and taken care of.

Olivia slept great cuddled with Mommy for a little bit and all was well. Throughout the day there was a constant stream of visitors which was awesome especially for my sake ha ha I had a migraine and it was killin me I stayed till 1pm and brought Tristan home for a nap, we both slept for almost 4hrs so he must have been tired as well. My migraine cooled to a headache and I went back to the hospital, but it was pretty bad I felt pretty nauseous.

Tonight I hung out for the rest of the night and tucked Olivia and Mommy in for bed at about 10pm they were both pooped. Christy and I went for a nice little walk through the halls and just chilled out it was a nice night with our daughter. Tristan hung out with Nana and Papa, which I have to say have been a HUGE blessing for Christy and I we appreciate them SOOOO Very much! Nana is already spoiling her new girl, been shopping twice today both times with an abundance of goodies and clothes!! Sure blesses our socks off.

So I leave you with a few pictures some of which are my fave. I was looking forward to this moment the most besides the arrival of our daughter. Tristan meeting his baby sister. He was pretty excited Nana and Papa took him shopping and bought sister something and he came running in wanting to give it to her..







Awesome eh!!

Anyways Olivia wanted to say goodnight to everyone out there and thanks you for your love and prayers!




Quick Update: Were hoping to head home tomorrow morning and get settled, please feel free to stop by and visit at home!!

Olivia Grace Colborne!!!

My BEAUTIFUL daughter blessed us with her coming at 9:09pm She was 9lbs 11.5Oz and 22inches long. She's got strawberry blond hair maybe darker, we'll see after her bath. She's gorgeous though!!

My wife is the most incredible woman EVER. The epidural seemed to not really work this time with Tristan there was almost nothing for pressure until "Go" time with Olivia there was pressure almost all night so ya I can't believe how well she did. The pressure started getting really really bad, and the nurse checked her and she was 6.5cm's and then the pressure got REALLY REALLY bad and about 5mins later or less she was 9.5cm's It was really incredible how fast it happened. The birth took about 2mins honestly, its on video. 3 really big pushes and there she was.

A Big thanks to Mom Dad and Ruth, Dr.Almas and the Nurses!! Huge Blessing thank you thank you!

Now for the revealing of my beautiful baby girl!!



All tucked in and ready for bed!

Good night my princess!!



Quick update: Christy wants Visitors, so don't be shy!!

She Got her Drugs lol

Wow what a trooper I'm SO proud of her she went FOREVER without anything, couple Demerol's last night and that was it, the Contractions obviously started getting a bit worse and the pain a lot worse but she pushed through. The hospital has been a MAD HOUSE literally. They had to medi-vac someone to Vancouver so Christy sorta got put on the back-burner till about 6:30 then she got her glorious epidermal and finally chucked her cookies (had been feeling like it since about 2:30 3:00 o'clock. Now she's basking in the drugs and only feeling slight pressure. She's gonna catch a couple mins maybe an hour of Zzzz's and then they're gonna move things right along.

At current she's just over 6cm's and rounding and the baby is +1

Thanks for all the support and Prayers.

Just a shout out to Mike, Moe Mark Leah and Ryan. Watching my boy!! HUGE Blessing guys REALLY really appreciate it!!

Quick Update

I Dropped by Mike and Moe's to see Tristan and have lunch so I thought I would quickly update you guys..

Were in the hospital LOTS of progress and Dr. Almas decided to break her water at 10:30 she was 1cm left on her Cervix and VERY soft and I think she said 4cm dialated. She's still feeling sick and contractions are still happening so everything is still progressing. She's having a bath and trying to relax so here I am. but I am heading back to the Hos now that Tristan is sleeping.

Thanks for your prayers everyone!

Blessings.

9:30AM Were going back to the Hospital.

So here's the scoop, We slept last night the contractions were constant but Christy slept thats the important thing. Her nauseous-ness has turned into full blown puking and me being the wuss that I am can't help her. Seems that Tristan (stayed at Aunty Ruth's) is having sympathy puke's for mommy. Thankfully he made it to the bathroom... REALLY Sorry guys I promise he wasn't sick when he left!. Were heading back to the hospital, to be gelled again I'm assuming however with the progress thats been happening I don't know if they are going to Gel her so I guess we'll see. She's relaxing right now in the tub and then were going to head down so again Thank you for keeping her in your prayers I, we really appreciate it!!

Blessings

12:14AM Off the the Hospital 1:41 Home

We thought, possibly that her water broke. Seems it was just some mucus, well a lot I guess? I don't know these sorta things. Anyways... we were going to go but the nurses said to come. So we did. Now its 1:41AM and were going back to bed. She's feeling a bit nauseous and I think she chucked her cookies when we got home. I can't help with that cause then we'll both be puking :( I did last time with Tristan and had to go get fresh air after the third heave ho... Yuck..

Anyways this is crazy fun exciting I couldn't even sleep, before we left I just started to sorta fall asleep and I was dreaming of the slugs from "Flushed Away" they were singing to me, then Christy says "Oh Oh Hun I think my water just broke" Ha ha

So she got another shot of Demerol and were going to try to get some sleep.. Thanks for all the prayers guys we appreciate it!

OK Here's an Update!

So were back from the hospital sorry for putting everyone on alarm, here's the latest news she's progressed about 2.5cm's on her cervix and the baby is dropping, she dilating but not quite ready. They gave her a shot of Demerol and she's already not making any sense when she talks (It's Great) Were actually REALLY REALLY happy it didn't happen right now, I know that sounds weird but their were 3 other girls in there when we were in. All came in within about 20mins of each other, one or maybe two got sent home not sure and one delivered a baby girl. Everyone in our room was crying (except me :P) it was cool, I'll admit I was a bit emotional sitting next to my darling wife as she was having her contractions. She's a trooper I'm proud of her. Anyways, the reason we were happy is cause we got put into Delivery Room 4, which is basically a storage closet with a bed. So yah we called Joni to tell her that she's "Most Likely" the winner of the baby poll. She laughed and said that Olivia isn't ready her nails aren't done! I like that funny stuff she'll come out when she's all glamored up HAHA good stuff. Anyways there you go 3 posts in one day.. I think I'll post a link to on my wife's blog cause I don't want to type it twice!

Contractions Contractions Contractions

Ok I'm posting in two places.. here and on my wife's blog (or trying to anyways) were off to the Hospital Contractions happening 3-4 mins apart and 1-3mins long so I'll try to keep you all posted. Keep her in your prayers

Blessings

Finally I'm Done!!

OK the day has finally arrived, I am officially done work until June 4th or possibly November... Depending on some "things" at work. I may never go back to CGI. I might just look for a new job OR if my business picks up enough during my time off then I'll just keep doing that. Anyways on to more important news. My darling wife whom I love ever so much. Will be in the hospital tomorrow getting "gel'd" so we should see our new baby any time now. I'm so excited I could pee Ooooops... But seriously its going to be loads of fun and we can't wait. We've been eagerly anticipating the arrival of our new baby and were OK with it being either sex. We've been told a few times that its a girl, but were prepared and more then happy with whatever it is. Olivia Grace or Zachariah Daniel. I know a lot of people are riding on it being a girl and so are we.. At least my Credit Card and Bank Account thinks so anyways. But like I said, either way and were gonna be happy. Yes even me :P Whatever the sex, its a precious gift on loan from God, and we'll do our best to honor that and raise our kids up in the way that they should go!! Thank you everyone for your prayers covering my family, we appreciate them all. I'll try to be diligent in posting news and pics of the baby each night while my wife is in the hospital. We love you all and your a blessing to us..

Thank you and God Bless!!

I guess were day to day now!

So time is winding down for my wife. She's getting anxious nervous and excited all at the same time! She thought that last night was possibly the night, was probably just "gas" ha ha I guess we'll see could be a little midget coming in the next couple hours? Or any day now, either way were stoked. I think we've finally made up our minds on a name. If its a girl (which were pretty sure it is) her name will be Olivia Grace, if its a boy, his name will be Zak Daniel or Zachariah, so we'll see what happens. I'm counting the days though, its tough cause I've already in my heart given up on work cause I'm taking 4months off, maybe more. With the raises going south (for all of us) we've sorta got this mentality at work right now too, it really sucks. The truth of the matter is that I've been spending a lot more time with my family and particularly with my son, not that we didn't before but it seems to be all I'm doing lately, and I've REALLY enjoyed it. We were running around being silly all last night dancing and making Mommy laugh. He really is an amazing kid so happy, and so excited to being having a baby in the house, he wants to hold her like Daddy holds him. I know he's going to be protective too cause we were wrestling and I said lets tickle Mommy and we started and it was cool till Mommy said "Stop" and he grabbed my face and was like "No Daddy, Leave my Mommy alone" :D I've been teaching him to not hit girls ever so I hope he sticks to that cause its one of those things that I'm really strict on. We protect girls, we don't' hit them. He'll be a great big brother though I know it. Anyways as the final days/hours wind down we can't wait for the new addition to our family! Any day now, so please keep my wife in your prayers. Thanks guys!
