More Neva and Dominic

Dominic and Neva, look out world.

Dominic meets Neva for the first time. It was a full time job keeping him from taking Neva from Bryan! Dominic kept saying "my wister, my wister. Want hold Neva!"

Neva Arrives!!!

This morning, October 30, 2008, Neva Gianni Sizemore Vernetti was born at 7:58 a.m. She weighs 7 pounds and is 18 1/4 inches long. Both Samantha and Neva are doing great. Enjoy the photos.

Coming Attractions ...

Neva will be here about 7:30 tomorrow morning. The hospital has wireless internet, so we'll try to get some photos up as soon as possible. (By "we", I mean Bryan.) We check in at 5 a.m. while the Dom sleeps in at G-Dad's house. Bloodwork first - then I get some groovy happy drugs before they poke a hole in my back. Bryan is requesting some groovy happy drugs for himself, but so far no one is cooperating on that score. :-) By the time Dominic's school starts tomorrow, he'll be a big brother!

Photos coming soon!

Baby Brother

A couple of days ago, Dominic was eating a snack and sort of watching TV when he started saying "baby brother" over and over again. I corrected him and told him he was getting a baby sister for Halloween, but he persisted with the baby brother thing. I thought maybe he was seeing it on TV. I finally looked down at him -- he had his shirt pulled up and was pointing to HIS belly!

Yesterday, I found him on the couch with my doppler monitor listening to baby brother. He's not confused at all -- Mama has baby sister in her belly and he's got baby brother in his belly!

I just hope he isn't disappointed when only one of us has a baby!
