Miss Katelyn Marie (a.k.a. Katie)

Born: 02-02-06 3:22 MTN
Weight: 4 lbs 7 oz
Length: 17.75 inches

The wife and I went in for a routine doctors checkup on Thursday and her blood pressure was through the roof. For whatever reason, my wife has struggled with high blood pressure throughout this pregnancy.

For the 4th time since Oct. they sent us to the St. Joseph's hospital for observation. While there my wife's blood pressure continued to get worse.

Due to the continued high blood pressure the doctor decided to conduct another ultrasound and take some measurements. The baby was measuring pretty small and there didn't seem to be a whole lot of fluid so they made the decision to just go ahead and deliver at 3 pm that day (we were scheduled for a C-section on Feb 17).

22 minutes past the hour our daughter was born with 0 complications of any sort. Baby, while small, has checked out completely healthy and mom is doing well too.

We made it home today just in time to catch kickoff (what a way to spend baby's first day home eh?).

so, with that...yet another baby bron into the DSP family.

Congrats to you and Mrs. Boom! Glad to hear everything worked out well. You're in for it now, though. Before you know it she'll be asking you questions like, "If the elves make all of Santa's toys, who makes the presents for the elfs," which my 3 year-old Kate aske me today. :)

Time becomes very elastic, with nights that take forever but years that fly by. Enjoy every minute!

Congratulations!

One small piece of advice....savor the moments good and bad with your children. It seems like just yesterday that my daughter was born and yet I look up today and she will be graduating high school in 4 months and attending Texas A&M next Fall...the time goes by SO fast....

thanks fellas, really appreciate all the kind words.

It's just nuts man! My wife and I have a 12 year old son and it just amazes me the similarities between the 2. Katie looks and has the same sleep / eating pattern that my son did when he was a newborn. Same damn facial expressions, cry, etc etc etc.

Give her a penis and I'd swear to God we'd been here already. :)

Great stuff!
