Feeling  todayBrand new kitten! Brand new kitten! (Changed 2-15-06) Monday, December 16, 2002
IT'S ABOUT TIME!! Well, it's finally happened. After 9 months, and then 24 hours of labor, I have become an uncle. December 14, 2002 brought two beautiful bundles of baby boy into this world. At 7:31am, weighing in at 5lb 5oz and 17 3/4 inches, Ethan Hawkeye decided to say hello. Nine minutes later, at 7:40am, weighing in at 5lb 6oz and 17 1/4 inches, his brother Xavier James decided to join him. They're fraternal, not identical twins. Both are absolutely adorable. I hope to get some pictures up on the web soon, assuming I can find some or borrow some space. (If you would like me to email you a copy, drop me an email or let me know here.) It's been a long couple of days. My sister went into the hospital at 6am, Friday December 13. (That's also her birthday, so a special Happy 30th Birthday to my sister Cathy, too.) After all the paperwork and things were taken care of, they started an IV to induce labor. That was at roughly 7am. All through the day, there is no change (she was at 1-1 1/2 cm all day), and there's talk of maybe stopping the IV and starting things again the next day. Needless to say, my sister is not really thrilled about that idea. At 11:45pm-ish, they give her an epideral for the pain. That kicks things off. At about 1am, she's finally at 3cm and her water breaks on it's own. This is good news, since they had discussed maybe breaking her water, rather than waiting for it to happen. They check on her again at 3am, and she's at 6cm. For whatever reason, the nurse checks her again at about 3:25, and she's at 9.8cm. She jumped nearly 4cm in half an hour. My younger sister, who had been at the hospital since 10am on Friday, calls home and lets us know what's going on. Myself, mom and dad get to the hospital about 4:30am. End up just kinda sitting and waiting around in the waiting room. Finally my brother-in-law comes out and says "It's a boy!" After a round of congradulations from everybody, he heads back. Ten minutes later he comes back out and goes "It's double trouble! Another boy!" We have to wait a little bit to get the babies all cleaned up and weighed and measured and everything, but we finally get to see them at about 8:15-8:30. They're so tiny, but absolutely adorable.

COUNT WITH ME NOW Decided to skip reading Shakespeare for the moment, since I couldn't decide which one I wanted to go for. Going for another classic instead. Rented The Count Of Monte Cristo last week; the most recent one, with Guy Pierce and Jim Caviezel. Rather enjoyed it, and since I've never read the book before, decided to go check it out. So far, quite a bit different than the movie. Good, but different. Granted, I'm not that far into it, but I'm enjoying it so far. If you've read the book before, let me know what you though of it.
