Introducing....

I apologize about the pictures being small.  They were taken from my phone!  

Well this is a very happy and exciting post!  I am very pleased to introduce Carter John Silas Paetkau!  He was born on March 6 weighing 7 lbs 3.7 oz and measuring 20" long.  We went into Drumheller for a regular check-up and less than two hours later he was born!  I had been having a few issues and before they developed into something more serious, it was decided that it would be best we delivered right away.  Ok I should say that a few issues may be an understatement!  Those last few months were MISERABLE.  My body just could not take it anymore.  I had dropped Natalie off with Grandpa and Grandma in the morning and came home to finish packing our bags just in case.  We also put the carseat in just in case!  Here are a few pictures!

Taken before we left! 37 weeks and 5 days

SO excited to be a big sister! And doing the job wonderfully!

It's amazing how often I catch these little smiles already!

During my recovery, Natalie and I spent alot of time racing cars on the wii.

2 Weeks already and now weighing 8lbs.

Maternity Pictures

So here are a few of my Maternity pictures.  They were done I believe at 33 weeks.  I ended up using my camera on a tripod and doing a lot of walking that day!!  I got so many good ones so it was hard to pick some out to put on here.  I do have some with Dylan and Natalie in them but I don't have them ready yet.  I just thought I should maybe add these before the baby comes!

Here is a video of baby moving.  The movements get pretty intense sometime and this just gives you a brief glimpse into what I feel!
