Harley Geraldine Theresa Lubben

WOW What a day. It is nearly 12 hours after Harley was born and just getting to updating everyone. Were do I start. Emily started going into labor at around 4:00 this morning. We waited until about 8:00 to go to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital she was already a 6 dilated. She moved to a 7 in a hour and to a 8 at around 11:30. The doctor broke her water and then discovered muconeum (not sure on the spelling) We then went to a emergency C section.

At 12:30 Harley arrived. She was having trouble holding her oxygen levels were they needed to be. So she got moved to the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit. Were they have now placed her on a ventilator to help clear some fluid in her lungs. At last check at 11:00 she was doing good. Her oxygen usage was decreasing and she was more comfortable. We will know more in 24hrs will have more pics tomorrow. Dave Emily and Harley

Ohh just about forgot she was 7 lbs 10oz and 20 1/4 long

TWO WEEKS TO GO!

Last Night we had a couple's shower for Emily and I at my brother Brads House. We had a fun evening with great food and beautiful weather. As you can about imagine Emily is very uncomfortable and doesn't sleep very well.

As for me I am just waiting for the Fields to dry up so I can get some planting done. I have a sneaking suspicion that the day it's ready to plant is the day Emily will go into labor. Oh well we'll get through it. We want to say thank you to Emily's sisters and to My Brother's for our two baby shower's. We can't thank you enough!!! The next post will have a ton of picture's I promise.

ONE MORE MONTH

Hello Everyone: We just got back from the doctor's office today. Doc said everything is good. Emily is having some pre labor pains (braxton hicks) and so the doctor is only going to let her work one more week. So Wednesday the 9th is her last day of work. That should help her out a little, it has been hard for her this last week or so. Tonight she is going through her hospital check list, and packing her hospital bags. Can you tell she is ready!!!

Can't tell you how excited we are to bring a new life into this world. Until next time see ya.

Happy Easter!!!

We are now Lamaze certified. We completed two 6 hour sessions of training. After the first session we both thought it was a waste of money, but the second day was a bit more interesting to Emily when they talked about the timing of different pain medications.

We have some exiting news from Emily's family. Her brother Mark and his wife Dawn are expecting Oct 28Th. That will make 6 babies under the age of 2 this fall. Needless to say grandma and grandpa Sherman are very happy.

Well Emily is still working at Wally's for the time being. She is scheduled to quite on the 28Th of April or until she can physically handle it. We will tour the hospital suite on April 9Th. Until next time I'll try and get a picture of Emily for the next post.

Two Months and Counting

Hi there. At our last Dr. Appointment the Doc said everything is doing great. We are having appointments every two weeks now. The baby is becoming very active and we are able to feel feet. It's pretty amazing how much we can feel aready. Our lamaze classes start on the 15th and on the 22nd of March so that should be interesting!!!

Emily is still working at Wally's but the days there are going to be shorter in time. Days our getting harder to keep up with the busy noon hours. But she is determined to work as long as she can.

I have been busy calving the past week or so, we have 10 calves at the moment with one set of twins. So that means we have a calf to bottle feed, not as fun as it used to be when I was a kid.

First Pictures

I'm sorry have not been keeping up with our blog. We have our first pictures of our little miracle. This was taken the on Dec 28th. Emily is 24 weeks pregnant as of Jan 17th. We did not find out the sex, but I think in a couple of pictures we can see it is a Boy!!!!! ha ha ha



I was finally able to feel the movements that emily has been feeling for a month now. I think we have a boxer on our hands. She has been feeling better in general over the last month, outside of a little head congestion the last week. At least the migraine's have quite for now.

On Friday night we went to our second Lincoln Stars hockey game of the year. I think Emily would rather trade our football tickets for Stars season tickets.

Happy New Year from the Lubben's
