Dana sent me an email and kindly asked me to post more pictures of her. I decided to try and be creative and made a short little video of some of the pictures we have. Enjoy.

Jane Ivy Foster
Here are a few preliminary photos of baby Jane. I know everybody reading this thinks they have the cutest baby in the world but I am sorry to inform you that is no longer the case. Jane takes the cake.
Jane's first picture. About 15 minutes after she was born.
Mother and Baby
Look at those eyes!!!!
She was born on June 22, 2009 at 12:58pm. She weighed 8lbs 5.6oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is doing great. Laura is also feeling very good considering what she just went through. She handled the whole experience with a toughness and a ever present sweetness that just amazed me. She is wonderful.

I have nothing in particular to blog about. So I am just going to start typing and we will see what comes of it.
Right now Laura and I have a lot of time on our hands. (Laura quite work and I only work about 20 hrs a week in the anatomy lab) We decided to check out the first season of LOST and watch in all this week. 24 episodes later I feel like I wasted quite a bit of time, but we both enjoyed it a lot. Some of the characters have changed a lot and some of the main characters, that they take a lot of time to develop, aren't even a consideration in the fifth season,(Charlie, Shannon) However, I realized that I really enjoy the show, not just trying to figure it out, but I think I feel like the characters are in some strange way like myself. I have never murdered anyone, taken drugs, been paralyzed, slept with my sister-in-law, run from the law, etc, but I can relate to many of the emotions the characters are struggling on a more basic level.
One of the main themes that runs through the entire first season (mainly through the characters of Locke and Jack) is "Don't tell me what I can't do." Locke's attempts to deal with his "condition" and trying to follow his faith in the island. Then there is Jack who is trying to keep everyone safe from the island and themselves. Do remember the scene where he is going to cut off Boone's leg in a desperate attempt to save him, and Sun tries to tell him that it is pointless. "Don't tell me what I can't do." I don't know what Jack role (or Locke's for that matter) is going to be in the finale but I think that it will be in line with how he is portrayed in the first season. Also, I don't think Locke's role is done either. He is too important to just have been used by the evil dude in black. Enough about LOST.
My wife is going to have a baby anytime this week. We are busy trying to get the apartment ready for the baby. We pretty much have everything we need, even an exersaucer, but there is still a little bit of organization that needs to take place. Laura looks really cute as a 39 week pregnant lady. Everyone thinks that she looks small for being as pregnant as she is but I disagree. She looks huge!!! I think it is because with the shirts that Laura is wearing it gives a false impression of where her stomach begins. If she were to wear a skin tight shirt you would see that she practically has a portable t.v. tray attached to her stomach. To say the least she is very cute and very ready to have a baby. We went to see the doctor yesterday and everything is looking good. She was 1 cm dilated and everything else is in place for labor to begin. We are excited. She did get a cold yesterday and has had a runny nose and has been sneezing all day so hopefully the baby can wait until she gets a little better. Laura is a trooper.
I thought I was going to be a great anatomy TA. I knew my stuff very well when I took the class and I enjoy it a ton. I learned yesterday that enjoying a subject doesn't qualify you to be a good teacher. I have forgotten 75% of what I learned in anatomy. I can't remember names of muscles and I especially can't remember the names of any of the arteries, veins, and ligments that I am suppose to know. It actually was very frustrating to finally realize how little I have retained from the hours and hours of studying I did to get it into my brain in the first place. Luckily for me it comes back much faster and clearer the second time through so I am going to try and do some of my own personal studying before I go to class.
Well, I am out of time and things to say. See you later.
ps- I don't feel like proofreading so if the following paragraphs have a lot of mistakes or if they just don't make sense I am sorry. Call me and I will try to explain it to you.
