Maverick got his white belt! He started Kid Guard Karate at school today. They focus on teaching about Stranger Danger, self defese, self confidence, etc. It's also a great way to teach them discipline and listening skills as well. Today they had to break a board with their foot in order to get their white belt! As they learn different skills they will get different colors of tape to apply to their belts.

May3rd. We brought Gauge home tonight around 8:30.
2:30 in the morning May 4th. We took Gauge back to the hospital. He was unconsolable. Screaming, sweating and had vomited.
We spent another five days in the hospital. We found out he was born with a urinary tract infection. He was on antiobiotics for about a month until we could get him in for a VCUG. This is where they inject die into his bladder and watch what happens, checking the fuctioning of his kidneys and his bladder. Luckily, he just has stage 1 Hydronephrosis and Stage 1 Kidney Reflux. This of course he inherited from his Mom! Anyway, he'll see a pediatric urologist until he is 5 and if we don't have any other problems, then they won't worry about it after that point!
We're so very lucky. Here's a pic of the Gauger in the hospital. We have a few more, but they all just look so sad, so I didn't want to post them. This was a pretty rough 5 days!

Gauge Gregory Guinn
May 2, 2008
1:23pm, Wesley Birthing Center
7lbs. 13 ounces, 19.5" long
The meaning of his name:
Gauge - The "Gauge" wines are not for aristocrats. These wines are for drinking. These wines are for celebrating. These wines are made to entice all of your senses. The makers of Gauge have a strong nose for adventure and are considered to be all around rabble-rousers.
The matching initial of the first name and the middle name is a Guinn family tradition. All three matching initials have only happened one other time in our family's history...my Papa Greg.
Gregory is a Guinn family name.

Just a quick update. I know I have been posting much, but things have been a little busy. We had a great weekend. We had all of our old friends in town for a baby shower for Brian and Vanessa. Pictures and details to come. I had my 35 week baby appt today and things are definitely progressing. We're 2 cm and 50% effaced. The Dr. said her best guess is that we'll have a baby in about 2 weeks. Phew...we better get busy preparing!

31 weeks pregnant (9 weeks to go)
I went in for my checkup today and everything was great! (other than the crazy number that came up on the scale) My blood pressure is good, the baby is measuring right on track and his little heartbeat was fast and strong. He seems to be kicking more and more these days, especially at night when I'm ready to sleep. Oh well, just good practice for the weeks to come. Today they gave me all of my admissions paperwork for the hospital. This just makes it seem more real and closer and closer every day.
Here's what babycenter says about week 31.
This week, your baby measures over 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt.He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot, too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.

The countdown is on. (10 weeks left)
Well, I am officially 30 weeks pregnant meaning that I only have 10 weeks left to go.
Nine months is going way too fast, and we still have so many things left to prepare, but we'll get it all done. If not, the baby won't know if his room isn't done, and if he didn't have a name right away, right? :)
Here's what baby center tells me about week 30.
How your baby's growing:Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
We'll do our best to keep you posted on how we're all progressing!
