Clayton First Touches Emily

Steffy's sister, Tabitha, took these. I am so sad I am camara-less!

Click HERE for new pictures!

The people in the pics are Steffy's sister, her mom-Trish, and her Grandma.

All visiting from CA.

Although I have taken over Steffy and Clay's camera tonight. I was going through snapshot withdrawls!

Tonight, Clayton made eggrolls, Nino made springrolls, and Mom made fried rice. So Nino did a FoodTV style tutorail on making a springroll.

Emily Update

Today, I finally was able to hold Emily. I had her middle name spelled wrong before, so I need to correct that. Steffy looks great! She says she has some cramps and some tenderness from breastfeeding, but she is feeling great otherwise!

Clayton is so beside himself, all he can say is, "Have you seen her!!!!"

She looks so tiny compared to Cole, who no longer looks like a baby but the toddler that he is.

They said that Emily is actually bigger than Cole when he came home, and she was the biggest of the newborn at the hospital.

She really does seem to look ike Clayton- his eyes and nose and possibly his color. But she has Steffy's chin. Her hair is very dark and she has a lot of it on the back of her head.

I have not seen her eyes open yet, but Steffy said they are very dark blue.

Welcome home Emily K. Robertson!!!

Emily

Emily Kehden Robertson

will be home tomarrow with mom and dad.

She is born!

February 5, 2008 at 3:03PM

7 pounds and 3 ounces

19 1/2 inches

Welcome baby Robertson

And congratulations to Steffy and Clayton!

Mama is fine, but sore. Her family made it in town in time for the birth. They will be here in Pueblo West to help her for a couple weeks.

I do not know if Steffy is still going with Emily for the baby's name or when Steffy and baby will be coming home. Nessa said that she has tons of light brown hair.

I cannnot wait to see what Cole does when he sees her. I do not know if he has ever seen a smaller baby than himself.

Hmmm, and she is born on Super Tuesday. The day we will be deciding whether to put a black man or a woman on the Democratic ballot. I wonder if that will be significant later...

Update on CO news:Steffy in hospital

Steffy went to her Dr appointment today. They sent her to the hospital saying that she would probably have the baby tonight.

However, she has not dialated more (I think she is still at 4). They said they might induce her tonight, because it was Steffy's plan to induce on Feb 11.

Her mom is on her way now, she is flying in from CA tomarrow morning.

Now, they are waiting some more. Trying to decide if they want to send her home.

I know 1st babies are slow coming usually, but tonight we are expecting a big amount of snow. That would not be fun hurried drive through snow and ice tomarrow if they send her home tonight. Grandma said the hospital is about 30 minutes away.

Nessa, Mom and Ernie are there with her and Clayton. Nino stayed for a while, but then he had a date. Grandma, Cole, and I stayed behind and had pizza! Woohoo!

Update: Nessa just came home and said Steffy is staying overnight,

because her bloodpressure is high.

She will most likely have the baby tomarrow.

Good Luck Steffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also- as a post script: Nessa and Stan broke-up.

No biggie, no drama, just no more Stan.

Colorado News

Extra Extra Here is the latest:

Mom has a new job!! She is working at a drug clinic doing what she did in CA. But the hours are way better. They are from 6am to 2 pm. She bought a whole buch of new, cute scrubs. It seems to be going pretty well. She has gotten out at noon a couple of times too.

Steffy has less than 1 month to go before she has the baby. It is a girl, and they have the name Emily picked out, but so many moms change it after they have the baby, so we will see. She is inducing labor on Feb 11th, because all her family is coming out to see her be born!

Clayton is working at Mission Company, so he brings home tons of chips and pork rines and snacks. We love him!!! He doesn't usually come home until 11PM or so.

Nino started the new semester, but he is only taking one class. A night class. He says that he cannot take any of the other classes until he takes this one. He and I have been lil night owls and have been getting up VERY late in the day. My excuse is that I am on Spain time. Haha!

Ernie has a job that gets him up very early in the morning, so I only see him for a lil while in the evening. He is usually in bed by 8:30.

Grandma is still doing her Red Hat meetings and she invited me to the next one. But because I am under 50 years old, I have to wear a pink hat!! Won't I look just fantastic in a PINK hat!! But I am excited to go.

Nessa has an interview for a job that will pay her to go to school for 9 months before she works. So we are wishing her luck on that one. She also has been seeing a guy named Stan for a while now. I introduced them last time I was here. I just thought he was cute, but he turned out to be a really cool guy. He works for the prison here, but on the side, he does the sound for concerts, so Nessa has been able to go backstage at a few concerts here. Next week there is a music festival at the art center here. She will be going to that as well. Click HERE to see his website. But has no pictures of himself on there. Never fear:

Nessa and Stan:

They are threatening us with more snow, and it is COLD, but I have not seen a flurry since a last week. I hopeit does not all come at once, I wanted to go to Grandma's property in the mountains this weekend, but the roads may close for the weather.

All us kids went to dinner a few nights ago. We have had some fun nights of snacks and games. Clay works late into the night now, though, so we have to wait for when he is feeling perky.

Clay and Steffy

Last day in CO

I spent my last night playing pool at the town saloon. The rest are pictures I took of everyone before I left for the airport.

And I really miss everyone already!

31 days left!! yikes!
