We blogged a number of months ago about getting pregnant, and I still get a number of congratulations on that pregnancy. I think I did mention in an update that we had a miscarriage, but I think it is hidden away and few people actually get to reading it.

Sadly, the reality is that we blogged too soon. We found out at our first ultrasound that we had a miscarriage, a blighted ovum to be exact. As you can imagine, that was quite a blow to us, especially Hannah.Read more »

That's right! For anyone who hasn't heard via facebook, I'm expecting again! I'm due May 12, 2011, and I'm currently nine weeks pregnant (as of today!).Read more »

I've spread the news on Facebook, IRC, IM and Microblogs, so let me blog about it here.

Yep, Hannah and I are now the proud parents of a beautiful big boy named Zachary. He was born this afternoon at 12:16 via caesarean section, and weighed 3.57 kilograms. Mom is tired, but fine (I've never seen her happier in her entire life), Zak is the most awesome baby ever, and dad is zonked!Read more »

So over the last 8 months since we found out that Hannah is pregnant, we've been slowly but surely preparing for the arrival of the new addition to the family.

First, we needed some supplies:

This past Tuesday I had my first appointment with the midwife. I was very excited for the appointment, as it makes things feel a bit more real to get antenatal care started and start planning for the birth and everything. I was also really happy to meet Susan and Ciska, the midwives. This appointment was with Susan, but my next appointment should be with Ciska, who I've had phone contact with since my pregnancy test in December. Both of them should be at the birth unless something comes up (like another woman being in labour at the same time).Read more »

Very exciting news! Raoul and I got to see the baby for the first time this morning when I went for my ultrasound. Baby looks great! The little one has a strong heartbeat, which we got to hear (and see!). We also got to see the baby move (looks like they're already a better dancer than Raoul or I), and see their little arms and legs waving at us. The baby measured to be 10 weeks and 2 days old, which fit with our estimate. The doctor says everything looks great- healthy and normal.Read more »
