She's Here!

Alayna Josephine Linquist was born on November 20th, 2007 at 6:03am. She weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long.

It has been almost an entire week and I am just now getting around to posting a picture of little Alayna. You know something HUGE has happened in my life when I haven't checked my email in almost a week. . .

I have MANY more pictures and videos that I plan on posting soon, but until then I wanted to at least get one picture up. Christie is doing well, she is still pretty sore and we are both a little dazed while we adjust to our new sleep deprived state of minds, but otherwise things have been great. We are both so in love with our beautiful daughter and she has already built up a huge fan club of friends and family. She is loved. . . that's for sure!

More to come soon, I promise. For now, I hear a crying baby in the background and need another cup of coffee.

What's the hold up!

I've been getting a lot of inquiries so I figured it was time to update the blog.

With only 12 days to the official due date, Christie and I are both anxiously awaiting the arrival of Little Alayna -- not to mention how anxious the grandparents have become. There are so many times through out the day and night that I wonder -- could this be the day? So far, it hasn't been, so the waiting game continues.

Christie has said many, many times in the last few days that she is DONE being pregnant. The aches and pains have increased but she is dealing with them in stride and hasn't lost her positive attitude (that's why I love her so much -- she is one strong chic). She has had a few contractions over the last few days and the hospital bags are packed. As long as she doesn't go into labor during the Ohio State game we should be good to go :)

I have a feeling that she will be here sooner then later, but the waiting game is on. I will keep everyone posted. Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive in our adventure, it's great to know that Alayna isn't even here yet and already has such a supportive group of friends and family. I'm sure she can't wait to meet you all.

Stay tuned.
