Fischer's First Bath

I really geared up thinking that this would be a Renee style bath pushing at least 45 min. I was mistaken. It was an in and out and really not all that much cleaner than the start. Although I have to be honest and say that I have claimed such past experiences as a proper bath. So I guess it still counts.

Grand-Moltar's Day Parade

The much anticipated arrival of the Grand-Moltar(AKA Beth Moss) and new aunt (Kelli Moss) Emotions and diapers were flying.

Post Birth Week

We have just been in baby haven lately. I personally have logged 40,000 cries to date. Fischer is a true joy and a great enhancement to our lives. Not to our REM sleep however. We had a great time visiting with my pseudo family Jose y Maureen.



@ 47 seconds turn up the volume and you can hear an actual fart. Our doctor wanted us to put her in some other positions and give her a little exercise. Here is the result.


Also this was a landmark conversation with me talking about touring through part of Central America, and all Renee could think of was Chicken buses.

Introducing Fischer Elizabeth Moss

8lbs 3oz. We had an amazing birth. Renee had an intense labor which lasted around 24 hrs. We gave it our all to deliver naturally not knowing that nature had bestowed on us a 37cm head. Although we had come far to holistic side it was a pleasant reminder that modern medicine still has an important place. We rushed into surgery around 2:00 and little Fischer popped out at 2:42 am.

When they had removed the baby the doctor held her up butt facing me and the lips of the vagina were very swollen. So I had plenty of doubt when I announced that our little Fischer was a boy. Then the whole room responds Nooooo, and then I said "Girl"?

First Sip.

Nuffin Noffin's real final womb appearance

Yes the oven has definitely been kind to the Nuffer. We were 8 days over the due date Dec 7th and the Nuffer was not moving much. We had to spy on it one more time for safety to make sure that everything was functioning properly. As you can see there are ample cheeks to squeeze.

Fruit Market Saturday

As our first fruit market run began last Saturday, I thought that the only thing that would get me up that early would be hungry Nuffer. I was incorrect. Sans Nuffer, we embarked on another Saturday 4:30 am wake up for an organic fruit market. It is kind of cool to see all the other Uva moms there and load up on some great food. However the wake up can be kind of brutal.



Another advantage to following Uva to the market is reading her car bumper stickers which are a must see. I snuck out in the market to properly document them.

Morning Walks

With many false labors and fake Nuffers, we are still walking. In order to divert our talks from our usual topics which include:
When is the Nuffer coming?
I wonder if its a boy or girl?
What do you want to eat?

I have really taken some delight in our morning walks and even more in the characters at arrive at the track around 6:30 am.



Although I was not able to get one of my favorite characters who looks like a walrus and wears an army shirt with pink pants, I still consider these videos a successful documentation.



This contains the fake water spray that happens every day. It scares no one.



I keep forgetting my whip every day.

Hiking near your due date

Always medically safe to hike around 7,500ft while you are days off your due date. Here are some videos of us at Poas. Live volcano here outside San Jose.

Baby preparations

Baby preparations take 1. As you can see this is a serious event. Renee actually refers to our car here as a one door as well.
