The Wait Is Over . . .

Ok - we are about to leave the hospital and we had to make a decision. We sat up for hours last night looking at names and ended up coming back to the original name that we liked from the very beginning. The name is . . .

JAXON CHARLES ULRICH

He's a pretty cute Jaxon. Glad that decision is over with. :)

Baby Ulrich Has Arrived!!!

Well - the time has finally come! Baby Boy Ulrich was born on March 18th at 6:16 PM and the cool thing is that his dad was able to deliver him. Yeah - Scott delivered our little guy. He did such a good job. His boss was right beside him coaching him and he did such an amazing job. I was started at 2:30 PM and the dosage was really light. I was dialated to a 4 at that time. They kept uping the dosage every so often. Around 5:00 the doctor came. I was still at a 4 and so he decided to break my water and at 5:30 I was at an 8. The doctor was off delivering another baby at that time, so the nurses decided to turn off the pit to slow me down until the doctor could get there. Around 5:45 we started pushing and at 6:16 our little baby boy was born. He was 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.

Kelsi & Scott showing Austin & Koen the new brother. They were so excited! Koen kept looking around the room and saying, "Where's my baby? Where's my baby?" It was really cute. They both seemed really excited! I hope that lasts!

Notice how we keep calling him Baby Boy Ulrich. Yeah - we haven't come up with a name yet. Hopefully we can come up with something before we leave the hospital.

Baby and exhausted daddy! Everything went really well. The baby and I are doing really well. The delivery was so slick! What a blessing! We are so excited to have him here. Our three sons - what an adventure it will be - but we are thrilled. We wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for all your hard work Scott - you did a great job delivering. We'll have more pictures to come!

Ulrich Olympics 2010!

Scott's brother and sister-in-law have started a tradition where they have a niece and nephew sleepless sleepover. The kids come in their jammies and play for a couple of hours and then go home at bedtime. This year the theme was the Olympics. They were to come in some olympic type clothing and have an olympic name. Scott had the brilliant idea of using some of the boys' super tight jammies as the one-piece suits that the speed skaters wear. To top it off he thought it would be hilarious to have them wear these massive goggles as well. It did end up being pretty hilarious! I have to say that I was impressed with Scott's creativity.

Their olympic names were: Osti (#30) and Loco (#12). For those of you who are familiar with the Duke Blue Devils - those are two of the key players numbers. Obsessed much??? Maybe!

Koen loved the goggles the best.

Austin's goggles were Scott's swimming goggles and we had to keep reminding Austin to breathe out of his nose. We were on our way to Scott's brother's house and Austin was so tired. He was trying to breathe out of his nose and stay awake and he was really struggling. It was kind of funny/scary at the same time. It looked like he was going to pass out due to lack of oxygen, but he was just starting to dose.

The kids all had a great time and loved it. Lets just say that Austin was totally loving the outfit and was really geared up to win the olympics. Thanks so much Brady and Edee - the kids had a blast. Looking forward to next year!

Who Knew?

We finally had a nice day that was somewhat warm to go and play in our loads of snow that we had. The boys all went in the backyard and it was pretty deep. Scott loved throwing Koen and he would go down pretty deep. They loved it!

This is after Scott threw Koen in the snow. He is standing up.

The three boys in the backyard!

They eventually switched and went out front where there was a little hill that they could slide down on the sled. Koen could not stay sitting up. He would fall down the second Scott would let go of the sled.

Austin giving it a try!

Even Scott gave it a whirl! They had a great time! We are ready for Spring though!
