Jordan on the Internet


Shortly after birth, Jordan was already all over Facebook, thanks to his two aunts, Lindy and Rayne, who were very bored in the surgical waiting room for several hours in anticipation of Jordan's arrival. We've also set up a an online picture album at http://gallery.me.com/crosby.andrew#100275 that we will be updating as we take more pics. So bookmark it and keep checking!

It's a Boy!!


On Monday December 13th at 8:36PM Jordan Andrew Crosby officially made his first appearance as the newest member of our family. He weighed in at exactly 7 pounds and was 20 1/4 inches long.

Nez had a scheduled doctor's appointment in the morning and they found that her fluid was pretty low. Since she was already full term, they decided that they would be cautious and go ahead and send her to the hospital to have him by scheduled c-section. She called the school to tell Andy what was going on, so he got the lesson plans ready for his sub and headed over to the hospital for the 7:30 appointment. At 8:36, the doctor said, "Ok dad, stand up; get your camera ready!" And there he was...

1 month to go!

So, the last week has been a busy one for us all. On Nov. 20, we traded in Andy's 2-door Altima coupe and got a more practical family vehicle...a new Nissan Rogue! Very nice and roomy SUV so our munchkin will have more room and we'll have more space for all his accessories as well...LOL!

On the same day, Andy's sister, Lindy, and her longtime sweetie, Ross, got ENGAGED!!! So exciting for both families! Nez was jumping out of her chair all day long she was so excited! Wedding plans are in the works now, people!

On November 24 (day before Thanksgiving), we went back to the OB for another ultrasound to check fluid levels. Andy's parents were in town for Thanksgiving so they were able to join us and see Jordan on the ultrasound for the first time. It was very exciting, although the only person who knew what he/she was looking at was the ultrasound tech! Fluid levels shot up for this visit, and are well in the normal range now. The OB cleared Nez to resume all normal activities, so she can do all her normal stuff at work and at home!

The only thing now is that Jordan is still breech, with his tushy down instead of his head, so we have another ultrasound at our next appointment on Dec 6 to see if he is still in the same position. If so, then we will consider our options, such as possibly scheduling a cesarean for the week between Christmas and New Years. So, still waiting to see what our little munchkin has in store for us this holiday season.

Thanksgiving was really nice, though Nez missed her family. Andy & Lindy's parents were here and so was Ross' family, so it was still an exciting and large family holiday. It was great to have both families together, to celebrate the holiday and the new engagement. There were lots of good food, good fun and good games to be had.

As of today, we are exactly one month from our due date, so not too much longer to wait! For now, waiting to see what next week has in store for us at the doctor's appointment. Will be sure to post as we learn more about our little man.
