Happy Birthday to Trout!

The little fellow is getting his doctor's checkup right now on his official due date! Who'da thunk we'd look at him today on his theoretical birth day and think how huge and strong he is. 8 lbs, holy moley! If he hadn't been born prematurely we'd be thinking how small and fragile he looks today instead...
Lots of friends and family put in a huge effort over the last two weekends to help us pack up the Chalet and I'm glad to say everything survived the move and fit into our new home in Steamboat Springs...barely. Next week Rose and Trout will come up and we will all be together again, and hopefully life will begin to settle down a bit ;) I'm not holding my breathe though. House looks great, Trout and Rose are both doing well and we are counting down the last few days until they can join me. Thanks to all who sacrificed a Saturday to help us pack, load the truck and move, we could not have done it without your help!

7lbs 3oz!

Trout is loving being at home in the cozy Chalet and hanging out with his Mom all day instead of a bunch of nurses. Tiring to say the least, especially now that Rose is breastfeeding more often, but so much nicer than going to the hospital every day. 2 weeks now until Trout hits full term and only 3 weeks until Trout, Rose and Betty join Matt in Steamboat Springs! Yay! Leaves are turning, white is dusting the upper slopes and it's time to snuggle in for the approaching winter with a good book, a warm dog and a hot chocolate...
