Announcing - Alan Michael Villa

Alan Michael Villa arrived at 7:56am this morning, 10 pounds even 21 /4 inches long and in perfect health. Mom and baby are doing fine.

Just finished a nap at home and then I'm taking the girls and grandparents to the hospital to see Jen and Alan.

Alan has been very good about everything so far, but has shown that he has a good set of lungs on him when needed.

Weekend review

pretty quiet weekend around the Villa house this past weekend. had some friends over for the OSU game on Sat. made some calzones for the game, and OSU won, so that was all good. Girls were wonderful all weekend, outside of some tired fits on Sat night as a reault of no naps on Sat. Spent some time cleaning the playroom and fingerpainting and such.

Ash was up at 2am with a stomach issue....seemed fine this morning, so not sure what got into her last night.

Jen is still playing the waiting game with Alan....more to follow after the doctor's visit tomorrow.

Colds

Danielle and Ashley are both recovering from minor colds....just enough to spike a fever for a day and wear them out...but they both seem back to normal today, so that's some good news.

No further developments on Alan joining the party. Seems like he is still pretty content to hang out where he is for the time being.

Time to get back to work...more later.

Monday morning

Nothing new on the baby issue....Alan Michael is still taking his time in making his grand entrance into the world. We have confirmed that he is a Steelers fan, as Jen reported that he was moving around alot last night when Hines Ward scored the TD in the second half of the game...not that thee was a doubt in my mind, but I'm pretty happy to see that he appreciates the Steelers already.

We'll know more tomorrow at the doctor's visit. Will update again after that.

Danielle & ashley had a great time over the weekend with Baby Jonas during his visit. They are so ready to have a little brother in the house...really cute to see them interact with him and help with diaper changing and feeding. I think we took some regular pics over the weekend, but nothing digital, so no pics on the web site...sorry.

More tomorrow....ttfn.

Afternoon update....Ashley picked up ringworm on her lower leg...most likely from gymnastics last week. Julie...keep an eye on Jonas since he was here over the weekend...only contageous if directly contacted the infected area, so risk is minimal. She'll be getting some ointment today, so she'll be fine in a couple of days. Always something going on with the girls....and they're so little still.

Thursday

Not much going on...Jen has started getting the house ready for the baby and company that will follow the arrival of alan michael into the world. as of Jen's last dr appointment (Mon/Tues) the baby had not dropped and there were no indications of anything happening soon...so we're onto the waiting game. Jen has done a great job in rescuing the house from the birthday and Halloween induced chaos...I have some work to do in the basement over the weekend to try and catch up and make everything presentable.

Did a nice job burning some steaks last night....first attempt were too rare for Jen, so I tossed them back on the grill...unfortunately I left the grills on high and ended up with blackened steaks...sorry honey...

I arrived home yesterday to a house full of napping females...was pretty funny seeing Danielle half on and off the couch...tried to take her picture, but she woke up and moved, so there goes the picture. Not much else to speak of....looking forward to the company from Jen's family next weekend (12-13th) so that will be tons of fun.

take care all.....mike
