Anticipating William...

William and Mom arrive this morning. We're very excited for our new arrival, no matter how many times he gets up.

Oh, Baby!

We visited the baby after dinner last night. On the drive Sam told us the line of the week. The conversation went like this:

Josh: Sam you've been wanting Mommy a lot today. Are you excited to see her?

Sam: Yeah, and I see my new baby!

Yep, he's been very excited for his new baby. When the elavator got stuck,and we tried a new one, as we were getting in Sam said, "We see my new Baby?!"

Once we finally managed to get into the room, he was the cutest little bug I'd ever see. He was small compared to Sam when he was born. He has almost olive skin and a thin,short nose. But my favorite part of him is his fuzzy black hair. He looks a lot like Anna and a little bit like Sam.
We're kind of glad he broke the Petersen "cookie cutter" tradition.

Then, we got to hold him. Sam went first (with Dad's help). Sam was absolutely adorable holding our new arrival. At one point he gently hugged the baby, and once we get that picture in our computer it goes straight onto the blog.

After each one of us held him, we saw him in his Ocotober/Halloween hat. Two words: RIDICOULOSLY CUTE!!!!

We came just at the right time to see him do tests.He was fine when we checked his heartbeat but it was not pretty taking his temperature. The crying continued when they stripped him down and put him on the scale. He was sobbing the hardest when the nures put on his shirt and diaper back on and the blood pressure test, you could hear it from a mile away.

Give you a hint,if you want to make him cry, do any of the four things above.

If you haven't noiticed I've been calling our new arrivall "him''

Not anymore.

Drumroll Please...

(dumdumdum dum dum duuuuum)

William Joseph Petersen.

We love you Will and can't wait for you to come back home!!!

The moment yo've all been waiting for...

THE PHONE CALL!!

A few minutes ago, we got a phone call from Intermountain Health Care. It was Mom. Since she had promised to call "soon" after the last phone call (a few hours ago), we knew no news was probably news. And sure enough, when she called, she announced the arrival of our new baby (no name yet.)

Born on:
October 26,2008.
10:58 AM

Weighs:
7 lbs 6 oz

Another exciting moment, the first Beauty and the Jogus poll

Should the baby's name be:

FRIGHTMARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UEA started with something wicked... A Lagoon* day!!

We rode favorites the morning such as the White Rollercoaster,Colossus,and Log Ride. By the afternoon Anna and my friend Kefif was convinced (or forced) to ride the Extreme Rollercoaster o' Insanity Wicked**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, it was everyone's favorite!

It was a very fun day!!

*= Lagoon is the only amusement park in Utah. It's Utah's in place.

**=Lagoon's #1 ride. It goes 45mph up a 90 degrees hill. Then it plummits down 110 feet. The ride also includes twists and turns and a barrel roll inversion.
