Cecilia Rose Spillers

I was really anxious this pregnancy about whether we were having a girl for real. When we got our 20 week ultrasound, they said that it was more than likely a girl. Yeah, okay, that's reassuring... So, not knowing for sure... We had both names picked out and I made sure the crib bedding was refundable...

Nursery:

I saw my doctor at my 39 week appointment, and after not having change from 3 centimeters dilated in 4 weeks, he gave me the okay to be induced. We scheduled it for me to go in when he was on-call which started Saturday night. We dropped the girls off with Jeff's assistant (who has two young ones also), and headed to the hospital for an 8PM induction. My doctor didn't come in until 10, and broke my water initially. They checked me after a few hours, and no progress. So, we started pitocin at 1AM. I learned a tough lesson- when you get pitocin, start the epidural at the same time. It was no fun for the anesthesiologist or I to sit through intense contractions and try to keep your back just right so they don't mess up the spinal. yeesh! Between the pitocin started and the epidural, I had the most miserable shakes and the contractions were no joke! I got my epidural at 4AM, and dilated more quickly than I thought after that. I also got a few hours of sleep too!  The next time  they came in was 9 AM. They saw that I was dilated to a 10 and the baby was all the way down. Dr. Chen told the nurse to get me ready to push. He left, but was immediately called back in because it took two pushes and 2 minutes and she was out! By far the easiest delivery, and our smallest baby.

Happy Father's Day!

Two of Daddy's Girls, soon to be 3!

Jeff got a new watch.
We had brunch buffet at Hacienda del Sol (I had to make reservations two months in advance)
We visited Grandpa Bobby.
It was quiet low-key day, spent watching the US Open.

Happy father's day!

Night Time Golfing

Claire got her own set of clubs. Jeff has taken her golfing a couple times now, and she is starting to understand it a little better, although I think riding the cart may be her favorite part still.

We took both girls to the driving range, and they had a blast hitting balls about ten feet, then picking them up (if they didn't fall into the ravine). It was the best $7 spent.
