Nicolas (Nico) August Chiappetta

He is the sweetest and cutest baby ever! (We might be a little biased!) He was up ALL NIGHT eating so I have not slept more than 4 hours these last 2 days but now that it is daytime he is sleeping soundly! I think we will have to work on changing his schedule around!

Baby Boy C

Their first family photo!

Desiree was really sad she had to wait a few minutes to see him...but then they got to meet:)

Everyone is doing well! More details later, but we know everyone likes pictures!

7lbs. 12 oz.!

And the scrubs are on...

They just wheeled Desiree into the OR to have the baby via c-section. He just decided that was the way he wanted to come into the world. The baby will probably be born in just a few minutes, but we won't get to go see Desi or the baby for two hours. Lou promised he would take lots of pictures and run out and show us. I will try to swap cameras with him so I can post a few. We can't wait to see his sweet face!

At the hospital

(Aunt Lindsey updating)

Des before we left for the hospital this morning....and after having contractions all night and zero sleep! Poor mama!

Here is Lou saying that he would like six children. Such a funny guy!

Des and her two labor coaches...so far we are doing well. Or I should say Des is doing really well!

The midwife broke her water around 2:30 and she has been laboring in the shower since. The contractions are about 3 minutes apart and are lasting 1-1.5 minutes. I think Baby Boy C will be here shortly. Stay tuned...

Yes, today was my due date and no, we have not had the baby. Stay posted. It HAS to happen before too long!

2 weeks to go until our baby boy's due date! Lou is taking the bar exam Feb. 24th and 25th so he has been studying like crazy. Every day when I leave for work he says, "Keep that baby in there!" I am sure I can keep him in here for another week and once that bar exam is done I will be ready to see my baby boy. I feel great and I am still going to work up until I have the baby. I do have a fear of squatting down in preschool to talk to a little kid and my water breaking. I told maintenance to be ready for a cleanup! My mom & I went on a hospital tour last night and that was fun to see where I will be giving birth and spending the first few days with my baby. The rooms look super nice and newly decorated and pretty big so I think it will be a nice experience. I need to get my car seat installed today and then everything will be totally ready for him to come...after Lou takes the bar of course!

3.5 weeks to go!

Oh yes, and Lou has his Bar Exam the end of the month. This picture shows a bit of his stress!
