Austin and his Binky

So we've noticed lately that Austin has been grabbing onto his pacifier and putting it in his mouth. Since he is a little baby (he turns three months old tomorrow) and he's still trying to figure how to move his body, we thought he was just getting lucky. But then he kept doing it so we got the camera out to get it on film. Sometimes, however, Austin sees the big black camera and gets a little distracted looking at it. In this video you can see Austin pulling his binky out of his mouth, getting upset, then putting it back in and feeling better.
PS Sorry about the quality of the video. We'll try to fix it and make it better quality next time.

Happy 6 Year Anniversary to Us!

I thought I would post a few relics from our past on this momentous day, June 11, 2010, a date that marks our sixth year of marriage. We have below a fun pre-marriage 50's Dance we went to in the Fall of 2002 up at BYU-Idaho:The actual wedding day: June 11, 2004, in Oakland, CA.Then Hawaii in 2005:
Graduation from BYU-Provo in 2006:

And now here we are, Memorial Day 2010, Dr. Steven Warne & Family!

What can I say, but that it has been a great 6 years. We have lived in three states, two graduations, four cars, six jobs, four homes, two cats, and one baby! And I really think it just keeps getting better as time goes on. I hope you know I love you Steve; let's keep the good times rollin'!

You Probably Know By Now: Baby Warne is Here!

Ok, so I know everyone in the world probably knows we had our baby, because if not, he would have made a world record of being in the womb for, oh, almost exactly 11 months now. And we know that would have killed me, so let's talk about when he arrived!

He was actually 9 days early. All seemed well--too well--as a matter of fact. I was dilated to a 4 at 36 weeks, and at 38 weeks I was at a 5, bordering on 6 to where my doctor didn't even want to check me for fear he'd break the water on accident and I'd have the baby right there in the exam room! The baby's head was down and at +1, and the doctor said, "Why don't you just come down to the hospital Friday morning, and we'll break the water and you can have this baby? In fact, you'll probably only be in labor for an hour. Mine and his (Steve's) job will be done quick!"
"Yeah, we'll go out and have time to play a round of golf after!" Steve replied.

Ha Ha. "Their job is soooo easy" I remember thinking to myself. But I was pretty happy with that--the quicker we do this thing, the better! But I also thought, if I'm so far along, can't the baby just come on his own, and we'll just wait for contractions?

But we decided to go in Friday, March 19. Turns out this was good, because they broke my water (I was dilated to a 7 already when I entered the hospital (no "real" contractions, no pain!) and there was some meconium in it that could have been harmful to the baby. Also, in hindsight, it seems that being that far along and not in labor yet is pretty rare, and once they started coming, they probably would have gotten very painful very quickly. As it was, they broke the water at 9:00 am, I got an epidural at about 10:30 am, it was time to push at 12:00 pm, and baby Austin Richard Warne was born at 2:35 pm that afternoon!

The details: He was 7 pounds 6 ounces, 19.5 inches long, APGAR score of 9.5, and one healthy, alert little baby! Here's newborn Austin: Proud Mom & Dad with week-old Austin outside of our Florida home
