Birth Announcement

I made a little announcement for Baby Zoe at babycenter.com. You can check it out here.

Zoe

Here she is! Zoe Elizabeth Rimbo was born last night (April 14th) at 8:24 pm. She almost missed seeing Will Ferrell on the Office.

At 8 lbs, 4 oz, She wasn't as big as her brother (9 lbs, 10 oz), but she was still plenty big. Nevertheless, once she was ready to go, it only took ONE push to get her out.

Her big brother loves her very much, and we'll have more pictures up soon, once we get back home where our sync cable and TV is.

Still waiting.

(See title.)

Waiting.

Waiting some more. What's that? You've never had a baby before?

There's a lot of waiting.

From the Front Lines

For fans of the birth of Owen Rimbo, we're bringing you live coverage of the birth of Baby Rimbo #2, from United Hospital in downtown St. Paul.

The long and short of it is this: Angie's OB said, "This baby's getting big. If you don't want a C-section, we might want to induce."

So we are. We checked into the hospital about an hour ago, and we're just about to get Angie onto pitocin to speed up the process.

I'll keep blogging and tweeting and whatevering. Pictures to come soon, once this kid is out breathing oxygen.

Revelations in Cake

Most of you know that we planned a fun little way to reveal the gender of Baby #2 to family. We had an ultrasound on Monday, but asked the ultrasound tech to not tell us the gender, but write it down and put it in a sealed envelope. We then gave the envelope to Justin's family, who mixed up a white cake, colored the cake either pink or blue (according to the gender of the baby), and baked and frosted the cake. Today Justin and I got to cut into it to find out our precious little secret! Guess what we found out??

It was PINK!! We will be welcoming a little girl to our family in April! :)

A Secret Message from Owen

Hello friends,

I wanted to tell you something pretty important, but I didn't want to just tell you straight out- I wanted you to have a little fun doing some detective work! All you need is a mirror-just hold it up to your computer screen, and you'll be ready to decode my message. Ready? Here's the secret message:

Did you get it?

How about now?

Couldn't find your mirror? That's okay, I'll just tell you...

I'm going to be a BIG BROTHER!! Mommy is going to have a new baby at the end of April. I don't know if it's a little brother or a little sister, but Daddy says we'll find that out around Thanksgiving. Mommy is pretty tired lately, but she says that will get better in a few weeks. I am so excited, mostly because I'm going to be an awesome big brother!
