He's here!

He arrived at 10:43 pm and weighed 7 lbs 2 oz . He was pretty mad at first but he warmed up to us fast.

This baby ticker just gave me a braxton hicks. Yikes. I think I'll go dig out the old car seat.

I have uncles aunts and cousins . . .

This year's Gunderson-fest was as fun filled as ever! Some of the highlights included:

Spelunking (or trying to find the cave until Annie lost her lunch)

Fishing at Cliff Lake

Gramp Camp

Gramma Pajama Night

Kai's baptism

Treasure hunt

Rocks in West

Dan's beans and rice

Swamping La Pizzeria

Amy's brownies

The 200 cumulative lbs. we gained . . .

I think Annie is yelling girls rule boys drool, but I can't be certain (she, Katie, and Milli were vastly outnumbered).

My lovely "full figure" and Tom's toned buns (if he hadn't been holding Annie, I think this opportunity would have been more than I could resist).

Annie wasn't sure about Bret's driving skills, but Dallin would have happily stayed there all week.

Gramma Pajama night! While all those boys camped, us girls held down the fort at the cabin. Magic wands, dolls, and new jammies were just part of the excitement. Annie was heartbroken when the spell was broken at 9:00 for bed.

A good ear cleaning at Gramma and Bampa's.

We haven't posted much this summer, and I'm hoping that a few photos will substitute nicely enough.

Good old splash park and free lunch

Rainy day puppet

Hijacking the mini-bike

Bad photo of the drive-in

Making brownies

Ace is the place

This morning I asked Annie where I got such a smart little girl. She replied, "At Ace . . . in the girls."

Hopefully they still have some selection left in the boys department.

Disney Daze

One of Annie's favorite rides.

Bummer! She didn't get to go on the biggest rides, but she was legal for a lot, even the Matterhorn.

The highlight of the trip. Meeting her beloved Cinderelly.

She thought this little roller coaster in Toon-town was the best.

Over-stimulation anyone?

We got lucky. The firework show wasn't scheduled until peak season (two weeks away), but they did a trial show one night we were there. Annie had been telling us about the fireworks at Disneyland for months, so we were super happy to see them. It was an impressive display set to music with confetti at the end.

Annie was a trooper. She was pleasant even without a lot of sleep, and we drug her all over orange county without much complaining. She even navigated the airport on her own.

The Show Off

We had three ultrasounds with Annie before she would let us peek and see that she was a girl. Our second child was not so modest . . .

He already looks cute!

There isn't much left to the imagination.

Here is his little arm in flex position. See his clenched fist on bottom and the perfect little shoulder muscle on top? He's already letting us know how tough he is. 

The technician had a hard time measuring his legs because he was treading amniotic fluid so fast she couldn't get a picture. You could say I'm nervous. I've been able to feel him moving for over a month, and things get pretty hoppin' in there now!

Everything measured perfectly though. He's growing like a champ!
