Just wanted to announce the (early) birth of our son, Tripp Alan Tice, born at 6lbs 5oz, 20.5 inches. Born, of course, on Friday the 13th of March, 2009.
No pictures uploaded yet, but I will eventually get around to it, we have a lot to take care of, considering that he was 3 weeks early and a little unexpected, lol.

Congratulations!
Congrats on the new arrival at least him coming early meant you didn't have to deal with the last three weeks of pregnancy which IMO are the worst you are so fat you can hardly move and you just want baby to come , can't wait for pics and i love the name.

Alright, still no pictures uploaded. The first pictures from the hospital were taken on phones, so I need to send them to my sister and have her upload them for me. The other pictures are on the camera and I have just been too lazy to upload them yet.
Grem isn't quite sure what to think of his new baby brother, but he certainly likes to touch his toes! Lol.
Tripp was born early, but wasn't considered premature, there weren't any major complications (not even jaundice), though they were monitoring his blood sugar because he was a little twitchy, but nothing serious came of that.
We did have to rush around with getting things ready. His clothes were all washed up and ready, but his bed wasn't set up and we hadn't bought diapers and formula yet. We had to make a pit stop to get diapers and formula on the way back from the hospital, and hubby had to rush around with his bed, but it wasn't really much of a hassle.
The labor this time was interesting. Last time, I was in labor for 52.5 hours and they had to break my water and finally induce me (my contractions stopped). This time, I stayed at home the first day, then they went away completely this time, so I assumed it was a false alarm. We went to bed that night, woke up in the morning and went grocery shopping and they started again. I came home, took a nap to sleep most of it off (not easy sleeping through contractions, lol), then called the MIL to have her pick our first son up, but we told her that I just wasn't feeling well, because I didn't want anybody knowing until we were for sure going to have the baby, since everyone had to stand around and wait for two days with our first son. Well, we got to the hospital, they hooked me up to all of their contraptions, called a doctor to come in, then finally decided to check me. I was at 6cm, so they called the doctors back to find whoever could get there the soonest, because the original doctor was going to be awhile. The closest doctor was reached, and he told them to call the epidural guy (can't spell anestes... whatever) and have him come up. The doctor made it into my room, started setting up his tools, and started asking me family history questions (they couldn't get my file to come up, yay). Then, the epidural guy was on his way up (they take soooo long!) so the nurse checked again just to be sure where we were at, and had to yank her hand back and yell for the other nurse to call off the epidural guy, and the doctor had to jump up, because the baby was out, lol. It was pretty quick, they weren't expecting it to unfold quite as quickly as it did. We had only been there for about an hour before he was born. They had been telling me not to push, I wasn't ready to push yet, but my body was pushing anyways, and there wasn't any stopping it, which I told them. I think it was more that they weren't ready for me to push yet, than me not being ready, lol. I didn't get the epidural, but honestly, at that point, it didn't matter, the delivery part wasn't painful, the pressure basically paralyzed me anyways, and since he was small, he really didn't do any damage. He was born in the sac though, my water had never broken, which the nurse apparantly found to be extremely interesting (apparantly doesn't happen often at all).
They did make us stay for a full 48 hours for observation, which wasn't exactly fun, laying in bed for 48 hours straight, but I'm glad to be up and moving again. I still have to finish my spring cleaning! Lol. The first day, it's nice to be catered to at the hospital, having breakfast (and lunch and dinner, lol) in bed and having people bring you drinks and everything, but after that it just gets really old and you just want to be human again and get up and get back to real life. Apparantly their definition and my definition of "take it easy" doesn't exactly match up. They wanted me to come straight home and go to bed. I went to the store, came home, did some more spring cleaning (although, I admit, I didn't get much done), and I'm ready to be chasing our first son around (he's still at his grandmothers, they kept him an extra night) and I'm thinking of going back to work this week (I sit on my tush all day at work, which is basically the same thing that I did at the hospital). I just can't stand the thought of not being normal again. I figure my body will tell me if I'm pushing it too hard, and I'll listen to it if it does.
And, yes, the last three weeks are TERRIBLE. Nothing like the pressure in the nether regions during that time.

Here's a quick snap shot. I'm still waiting on the other pictures. :/ I didn't want to snap too many, he's not exactly fond of the cameras flashing in his face.
