Extra, extra...

I made it! I'll let you read what Dad said about my arrival since I think he said it best in his news story for friends and family:

SEATTLE -- He's here! Finally!

Almost two weeks after his due date, Rowan Alden Miller was born at 6:15 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 21, at Swedish Medical Center.

This blond, beautiful, bruising and boisterous future financial supporter of his parents tipped the scales -- quite literally -- at 10 pounds., 1.6 ounces, and measured 21 1/4 inches.

Everything went smoothly and everyone is doing great.

Unbeknownst to his mother but much to his father's pleasure, the radio switched from Blondie's "The Tide is High" to Bill Withers' "Lean On Me" about a minute before his birth. The kid's got good taste.

Rowan will surely go on to great things, like the other giants among men born on Sept. 21: Leonard Cohen, H.G. Wells, Bill Murray, Stephen King, heck, even Larry Hagman.

We won't tell him that Darva Conger, Ricki Lake and Nicole Richie also were born on this day. He already eats more than Nicole, anyway.

Here are a few photos of our not-so-little guy!

Talk to you all soon.

Love,

Katie and Doug

I'm being evicted!

Yes, it's true...Dr. J. gave me an eviction notice today when she told Mom and Dad they could come in on Friday for Mom to be "induced" (wink, wink) since there isn't a scheduled OR available. I'm coming out via c-section, and although we don't have a time nailed down, it's definitely happening Friday...whhheeeeeee!

Looks like we're in the 33%

Well, we had another non-stress test today, and I'm groovy where I am. Mom asked to have a c-section, hopefully on Wednesday afternoon, which proves that 33% of women do indeed have c-sections. ..there were two other ladies in our baby class who have both delivered the "normal" way, so we're doing our part to keep the statisticians in business! We'll keep you all posted in the coming days!

We got tired of looping the Jeopardy music...

Well, we went back to the doc today, five days into OT. Mom got hooked up to the fetal monitor for a non-stress test (NST) to find out that I'm happy as a clam where I am and she isn't doing anything to evict me any time soon. We're scheduled to go back on Monday for another NST, and then will see Dr. J. on Wednesday. One way or another, I'll be out to meet you guys by next Friday, 9.21!

Insert Final Jeopardy music here...

Everyone will have to wait a bit longer for me to show up. We went to the doctor again today and things were the same as last week, so we'll go see Dr. J. again next Thrusday to see what she has to say. We'll keep y'all posted!
