Introducing...

LANE DAVIS LECHEMINANT
10/17/2008
10 LBS. 4 OZ.

Lane is such a relaxed little guy and it is so weird for me to have one that actually sleeps like a baby :)

The boy seriously slept ALL day long, I'm a little worried about tonight!

Sorry that I'm not a good photographer...I'm lucky to have the pictures I do take, I can't complain about the lack of quality!

We are home now and very happy to be here and excited to see how life will play out with #4!

Announcing...

Our little boy made his entrance into the world on Friday, October 17, 2008 at 2:20 pm!! He is such a sweet baby and we are so excited to have him in our family! Everything went well and I was so excited not to have a C-section.

OK, check out the weight on the scale!

Just in case you can't tell what it says, yes, he weighed 10 lbs. 4 oz. !! He is 22 3/4 inches long, head circumference of 14.3 inches, and chest of 15 inches. We were a little shocked at his size, especially with his acrobatic stints he's been doing this past week.

As of this moment, this little guy is still Baby Boy LeCheminant, but I will post later today with his name and some closer shots of his face. We are so excited and thanks everyone for all the calls, thoughts, and prayers! We appreciate all you do for us and love you all!

**in other news, my little brother Stanton got his mission call yesterday (it was an exciting day in our family) and he is going to the Bogota, Colombia South Mission, reporting in January. Congratulations Stanton! We are so proud of you!

Sunday Night at Our House

We had a very nice and relaxing evening last night. It went a little bit like this:

a whole lot of silliness from the kids (oh, and Dad & Grandpa L.)

some cute poses from all the kids

caramel apples made by Dad (I didn't get a picture but they were yummy!!!)


and one picture of a (still) pregnant lady

I actually was pleasantly surprised at how unfat my face looked - not bad for being 40 weeks pregnant, right?? It's a good thing there were no ankle shots (can anyone say cankle?)!!

Anyways, it was a good night and a great way to get my mind off of you know what :) Thanks to G & G Le.. for the yummy dinner and good company!

A Quick Vent

Many of you know the roller coaster this pregnancy has been for us; and apparently it's a long ride 'cause we're not done yet. Just a quick update on where we are at this point:

• the little guy is TRANSVERSE again (and I saw on ultrasound yesterday that he was head-down so he is just doing flips in there)
• I have to go to the hospital or doctor almost every day for the next week, including tomorrow
• my due date is tomorrow and I am finally feeling impatient for him to be born
  

I was doing so well this pregnancy and not feeling antsy about having the baby but it hit me today...I want him out!! I do not want to go to the hospital one more time without coming home with my baby; I want to hold him and snuggle him and make sure he is healthy. Oh please, please, let him be born this weekend!

*on a funny sidenote: tonight Jeff was helping Cole say his prayers and he said, "I'm thankful for the Gospel". Cole promptly repeated, "I'm thankful for the hospital." Yea, do you think I've been there often enough??
