[Karenciavo]

Is she giving live updates on her blog? Go Dy, go!

[Mom2legomaniacs]

Is she giving live updates on her blog? Go Dy, go!

She gave one this morning stating that the Easter Bunny brought baskets for the kids and solid contractions for her! Not sure how often she will be posting, but I will certainly be checking in often to see! This is so exciting!

[Jean in Newcastle]

Waiting here to see a baby announcement. I hope everything goes as smoothly as labor can go!

[Sue G in PA]

trying like the dickens NOT to be jealous! :D Can't wait to hear the announcement.

[Doran]

How wonderful!! Sending continued progress your way, Dy. My brother's birthday is today (March 23), and in all his 48 years, he's never had his birthday fall on Easter Sunday. So memorable! I'll be checking back for updates.

Oooh, JennifersLost put her into labor (http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?p=120290#post120290)! How cool! :smilielol5:

Go Dy! Push 'im out, shove 'im out, Waaaaaay out!

[Needleroozer]

Is it a girl? She absolutely MUST name her Anastasia! Or maybe Zoe.

No, it is another boy, and they are having a time coming up with another J name. I have been in touch with her all week, and she is so anxious to have this little guy in her arms.

Come on Dy!! Come out little fella, I can't wait to meet you in a few short weeks!! Y'all know I get to go to Alabama this May and kiss all those babies in real life, right? Are ya' jealous yet?:D

[Stephanie in FL]

Yes, LB, I am completely jealous. :)

[Sue G in PA]

that's the same boat we're in! How funny! All our boys are J.M's. We had the toughest time coming up with another J name we could all live with! Had to drop the M for the middle name b/c nobody could agree, but we've finally come up with a J name we all like...but I'm not telling til he's born!

[Tammy in Germany]

Here's to smooth labor! Hope you both have a productive day!:D

[KidsHappen]

Can't wait to hear. :hurray::thumbup:

Happy Contractions!

[Needleroozer]

Dy had her baby!!!! His name is Jason Thomas, and he is a long one at 22 inches. She had him around 10:45 this morning, and they both slept the whole day away today. She just called me, so I am letting you all know asap. She said she would post photos on her blog tonight after her big kiddos went down.
Yay! It was a good birth, and she is very happy to meet her newest little man, and glad it is over!

THANK YOU! :001_wub: Gosh, you just made my evening with all your sweet words. (And I'm glad I got to read it b/c he's up! So this'll have to be short!)

He's here. He's healthy. I'm not pregnant anymore. Life is good. (LB, thanks for posting a quick update earlier! Love you!)

I put up a few pictures, but it's so late b/c I had to wait for the children to get to bed before I could venture to the computer (Oh, my kingdom for a laptop!) Will put up more tomorrow.

After all that waiting, would you believe he caught us *completely* off-guard? :blink: But I won't complain. Not. One. Bit.

Zorak asked me tonight, as he ambled off to bed, "So, um, the kids' teacher is officially on maternity leave, right?" Oh, yeah!

Dy

[gardenschooler]

Wow! Yaaay! We have a baby!

Congratulations, Dy!

This calls for some of my little creepy guys!

Dy,
I saw you posting on other threads and I figured you must not have had the baby yet. Wowzer, you da woman!!!
I can't believe you gave birth and you're already up and posting. Woohoo!!

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! Take good care of yourself, get some rest, and sniff that baby's head for me! :001_smile:

Beautiful baby, beautiful family!! :001_smile:

(Who are Me-Wa and Me-Tae?)

I don't think Dy will mind me answering this one for you, Anj. Me-Wa and Me-Tae are nicknames that Dy's son Smidge gave to long-time family friends who now live near Dy and Zorak.

[Marie in Oh]

Congratulations!

Aha!!
Here I was googling those names because I thought maybe her husband was Chinese or part Chinese and the grandparents were called Me-Wa and Me-Tae. Oh boy! See what happens when my imagination is left to its own devices?
Thanks LB!! :001_smile:

[Mekanamom]

Congratulations!! Yes! Beautiful baby; beautiful family. :)

Thanks LB!! :001_smile:

Yeah, their real names are Ward and Terry, but poor Smidge just couldn't get that out, so instead of "Mr. Ward" and "Miss Terry", it came out Me-Wa and Me-Tae. We tried to work with him on it, but they were so enamoured with having their very own names-of-affection that they kept using them long after he mastered the elusive "r" sound.

The guys went to school together, and being two crusty old vets on a fairly small campus, they ended up getting to know one another very well. They've got the kind of friendship men just don't find very often in life, kwim? And since they've never had children, they've just sort of adopted our herd to spoil and love on. They've been a huge blessing for the kids over the years. :)

[DIY-DY]

that's the same boat we're in! How funny! All our boys are J.M's. We had the toughest time coming up with another J name we could all live with! Had to drop the M for the middle name b/c nobody could agree, but we've finally come up with a J name we all like...but I'm not telling til he's born!

If we'd known *then* that we were going to have more than two children, we'd have stopped w/ the J's a long, long time ago! But with just two, it didn't seem like that big a deal. Then it snowballed.

ITA - don't tell a soul! To end the ongoing debate, we just told the boys we were going to name him Heinrich Roland, and then let them sweat it out. I figured by the time he arrived, we'd pick a name DH and I could agree on, and the kids would be so relieved they wouldn't fuss. ;) Worked like a charm.

[Robin in Tx]

Congratulations, DY! How sweet... give that baby lots of kisses from me, too!

Lots and lots of love,
Robin

[slug hollow]

Congratulations to you and your family! He's just beautiful! :)
