Baby Tatiana

ok. Here she is. Tatiana Michelle Coatney. 3/23/11 @ 07:58 am

21 inches, 7 pounds 1.6 ounces. Everything went extremely well but with taking care of mom and family I have not really been able to make a post like I wanted. Hopefully soon though.

Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes!

I love these times

Here comes baby!

Just a few thoughts I want to get out before little Tatiana is born. It is strange, but I am more nervous now than with any of our other births. Most of it can be chalked up to the new environment we are in, new house, new town, and especially new hospital and doctors. We have had our previous four back in Durango Colorado, seeing the same midwives every time. Here it has been a bit harder for me to be a part of it, with Dawn going to most of the visits by herself, leaving me without the comfort of really knowing the staff.

The other reason is with all the craziness going on in the world today it seems like there is going to be even more of a challenge raising five children to be able to survive the circumstances that might happen.

I would love to write more but have to leave for the hospital now! I will get some pictures up soon my friends.

Startlingly Late News! (at least for my fellow bloggers)

Sorry folks. I believe I have let all of my followers down. (Sounds a bit conceited)! We are pregnant again and our due date is only three weeks away and I have yet to inform this small, yet dear circle of friends about it. I posted it on facebook but forgot about you. For that I apologize. In my defense I will say this. I had planned on it being a part of a blog about our life so far in Idaho, but after working on it off and on for almost three months and only have a few hundred words of it (out of the two thousand it might be when finished) I kind of forgot about the time sensitive material it was to include. So here we go:

We are having a baby girl! The name we are shooting for is Tatiana Michelle Coatney. We have a c-section scheduled for the 23rd of March. Our last two were emergency c-sections making it almost impossible to have a natural birth. This is our 5th child and the plan is to do a little work inside her during the operation to keep this from happening again. It is a bit weird to think we are having a baby again. It took us almost seven years of trying and thinking that maybe we couldn't when we finally got pregnant with our first. After that is seems like they came along in a steady stream. And each and every one of them has been a unique blessing to us.

Just so you know, I have two blogs in the works right now, the one is talked about above, while the other is a very large one that is close to being finished about a big hike a few years ago back in Colorado.

Cheers!
