The first night at home...

Leading up to Kate's arrival, almost every person who has children laughed and said, "Get all the sleep you can now because once that baby arrives you won't ever sleep the same again."  I did not doubt them, but also expected these to be exaggerated tales from the past.  Well, after our first night home from the hospital the only thing I wish was that I had listened a little closer.  Kate finally decided to hit the hay last night at 4am.  My hypothesis is that the nurses at Hinsdale Hospital (which was WONDERFUL) slipped her a sedative while we were there.  Either way, we lived to tell the story.

Day Two

Just a couple pictures of Kate's stay in Hinsdale. 

Kate Conway!

Now introducing... Kate Conway Eder!  She joined us this morning, February 22, at 4:55am.  Weighing in at 6lbs. 14oz. and 20 inches long, she is long and lean just like her parents ;)  We are beyond excited to welcome her to our family. 

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting Baby Eder's blog!  A few of our friends and family members have created similar blogs for their families that we enjoy following.  We hope to update it regularly with the adventures of our little one and, of course, some cute pictures. 

As of today, we have about 5 weeks until our estimated due date of February 16.  A number of people have said to Drew and I how they feel that the pregnancy has flown by.  I'm not sure if the last 35 weeks have gone THAT quickly for us, but I can say with certainty that it is getting more real everyday.  Regardless, we couldn't be more excited to meet this baby! 

Drew ends many nights asking the baby the same three questions:

1.  Do you have a penis?
2.  What do you want your name to be?
3.  When are you going to come?

So you don't feel out of the loop, the baby has pleaded the 5th and decided not to answer any of the questions!  The good news is our wait is almost over!
