Ronan Steven Chan

Ronan's birth story...

I had another awesome pregnancy with this guy, but he was breech most of the time. We only caught him head down at my 32 week appointment, so we scheduled a version at 37 weeks to try and turn him. That hurt like a b**** and was unsuccessful so we scheduled a c-section for Wednesday, June 11th. We checked into the ER bright and early at 5:45 that morning, and got ready to roll. Ronan was delivered at 7:54 am, and the cord was wrapped around his neck 5 times! All was well with him though, and he weighed in at a giant 4 lbs 15.7oz, and was 19 1/4 inches long. The doctors figure the cord played a part in his small size, plus Henry and I aren't that big, so it was no surprise he would be small, but I never thought he would be that tiny! We are so in love, and he is such a good little baby! I can't believe he is already a week old! His sisters love him, and always want to hold him. I'm sure that will change with time...

Dance!

We've been busy with Lara's dance competitions the past 2 weekends and they've been a lot of fun! I completely forgot to bring my camera to the first one, In10sity, but remembered for Masquerade. The girls did awesome there, receiving platinum in both tap and jazz, and both dances got them 1st and 2nd place overall in their division. Plus they won audience choice for tap, and were chosen for an encore performance in jazz, which they won the audience choice for again. Congrats to them, and all of the other SCVDA dancers!

Nursery

First of all, happy belated 9th birthday to Lara! (April 16) We STILL have yet to celebrate. She just wants to have a friend sleep over and do some fun stuff, and it's been hard to find a weekend that works, but hopefully soon!

For the past month or so, we have been getting the baby's room put together. I think it is finally complete. There is still some empty wall space but I am kind of waiting for pictures of him, or to see if I find something else to put up, or maybe nothing at all. His closet door also still needs to be painted white. No pictures of that ugly thing. I took a million pictures, so you might get bored. Sorry! Now everyone will know his name though.
