Updated pics of Jordan (already!)

Jordan has gotten rid of the puffy eyebrow ridges and whatnot brought about by her grand entrance, so I thought I'd post a few more pics so you can see what she is starting to look like.





Just for laughs - some of Jordan's faces:




Meanwhile, our two other kids (!) are busy obsessing over the baby...




...and trying to get out of the house at least once a day. Nomi is riding her reeaally undersized two-wheel bike, and Zaiah is trying to keep up riding the neighbor's scooter. Wearing his rubber boots, of course.

Talk about being born yesterday...

She was.


Introducing: Jordan Kate Frese



Jordan arrived Monday Sept. 10, 2007 at 5:14 pm. She weighed 6 lbs. 13.5 oz. & was 20.5 inches long. She is healthy and Mom is doing great. Mom had a rough 2 hours of labor; Danny thought this was the easiest birth yet!
Below are some newly-arrived, goopy-haired photos of our newborn. Enjoy.














For comparison, here is Jordan (top) next to Naomi (bottom) when the latter was a couple of weeks old (?). It's hard to get a representative picture of a newborn, but we definitely see some similarities between the two.

Soon...

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and counting, so our little baby girl could be born at any time. (I delivered both Naomi & Isaiah at about 38.5 weeks, so it could be soon!) We are excited, yet unsure of all the details surrounding the birth, so are in much prayer!


Danny is home safely! He's been back for nearly a month, and what a great time we have had as a family since he's been back! He has returned to spending much time in the library or reading, as his 'student' status demands, but he's enjoying the cool library.

Though the library may be cool, it has been hot here...especially for La Jolla. We've had weather in the high 80's to 90's, with a lot of humidity, and of course, no AC. The heat hasn't seemed to bring on labor yet, so we'll just keep waiting.

Below are some pics from a birthday party we just went to.

Naomi is serious about getting some candy out of the shark.

I'm just trying to stay cool and hydrated.


Isaiah and his friend, Bjor, enjoy the cake.

Naomi & Eliyana are quite a pair.
