A big sister now!

Coming home

Announcing: Samuel Dennis Navrat

Samuel Dennis Navrat

Samuel Dennis Navrat was born on Friday, December 21, 2007 at 2:34AM.  He weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces with a reach of 19 inches.   Mommy and baby are doing well, just a bit tired. Big Sister Lauren came to visit with Pappy and Grandma Sue.  Grandpa Dick also visited, so Sam was surrounded by love.

Big Sister Lauren said "Baby Samuel" and also gave Sam a big Kiss.  We are extremely happy to have this wonderful new baby and can't wait to get him home.  Christine will be discharged tomorrow (Sunday).

Lots of pictures and Video's have already been taken, but we haven't had time to get them all up yet.  They will be arriving shortly. 

Thank you for all the well wishes and we'll talk to you soon.

Neal, Chistine, Lauren, Samuel, and Sadie

Grandpa Dick says Hello!

Pappy and Grandma Navrat - Pappy was staying back because he has a cold.

Waiting...

Sadie says she has been ignored a bit lately on our blog, so we posted a picture of her. Lauren was actually the one to take the picture...pretty good for her first shot!!

36 weeks

I met with Dr. Barberi this morning, and i am 3 1/2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. The weight percentile of the baby dropped a bit over the past few weeks, from the 23rd to the 13th, which is a little concerning. She said that even though the percentile dropped, that the baby looks healthy and that there is no sign of distress, etc. Barberi rescheduled me for another ultrasound for the 17th, and depending on the results (if the percentage has not increased or if it stays the same), they will induce me that evening or the next morning. Grandma Sue, i know you are planning on being with us until the 19th...so there is a chance that you will be around for the big event after all! Love, Christine

First snow

Lauren received a mini mouse purse from Grandma Carol today in the mail. She LOVED it! She has been wearing it around the house all day.

We received two inches of snow today in Manhattan. Lauren wore her snowsuit for the first time.

Including moon boots!!!
