Alaina Kaye Berglund
I would like to introduce to the world the most beautiful baby girl, Alaina Kaye Berglund. Alaina arrived at 6:46 this morning via emergency C-section at Claremore Regional Hospital in Claremore, OK. She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 5 ozs and measured 20 inches long. Mommy is doing wonderful and Alaina has already had her first meal. More to come in the near future. Mommy and daddy do not get to bring the new bundle of joy home until Saturday at the earliest.

Holy Hell is it HHHOOOTTT!!!
It is so hot that tires are sticking to concrete if they set too long. Thought a quick jog to the mailbox while barefooted would be fine, until I felt the searing pain from the heat off the sidewalk and road radiating upwards at me. Instant blister. OUCH!!
Enough about the heat, latest news on the new little Berglund is we are in hurry up and wait mode. Three times in the last week I have had to take Momma to the hospital so they could hook her up to monitors and check contractions and dilation. Every time 2-7 minutes very minor contractions (thats what the nurse said) and only 1cm dilated. But the doc says it could happen any moment, I say lets get it done, and Momma says I am !@#$%& ready already.
The couple that we have asked to be god-parents are just as anxious as we are. We have given them nicknames of El Padrino and Nouna (Italian and Greek translations for godfather and godmother). Nouna threw an outstanding shower for Momma and we recieved alomst everything we needed for the baby. And what we didnt get we recieved money to purchase. Dad and Jody you got Alaina a portable fold up crib and a t-shirt that says "my dad's tattoos are cooler than yours". While Momma and Nouna were baby showering it up El Padrino and myself took off on our Harleys for a 300 plus mile ride around Grand Lake and to a couple Civil War Memorial sites. Yes part of the civil war was fought here in Oklahoma. Sorry no pics. Anywho, I digress, we finished our ride completely fried from the heat with sunburned arms and faces and ready to do it again. Momma on the other hand is glad this will be her only baby shower as focus of interest. Got to spend the rest of that evening putting together all the stuff from the shower then being forced to go to Wal-mart to use up all the gift cards. Then some more puttin stuff together. The next morning I was drug to Babys-R-Us for more shopping and then back home to put it all together. Now we wait. The next post wont be that far off and will be loaded with pics hopefully of the baby and all her goodies.

A little update and a little somthin' for you word lovers...
The little update is about the little one on the way. Everyone is convinced that the baby is girl but you know me I am one of those guys who has to see to believe. But in the off chance that it is a little girl, I have already purchased one of two shotguns I will have on hand, a police issue 870 wingmaster with a 20" barrell. Sherriff's Auctions kick ass. 90 bucks!! I cna get a longer barrel for hunting pretty cheap so it could cover both scatter guns. Anywho, really everything is going great, I think. Due to my schedule at work I have avoided most of the major asskicker hormone outbursts, just kidding babe since I know you finally figured out not to put www. in front of the blogpage address. But my schedule is not one of many dreams, and the patients I have to work with turn what dreams I may have into nightmares. Mom, Dad, your welcome for not being as big a pain in the ass as every single one of the kids I care for over sixty hours a week. I know I had my monents but nothing at all comapared to these kids.

It's a .......................................
Girl!! But, this was only the first look so there is still a chance that there could still be a little version of me running around later this summer. Teresa claims the baby is already acting like me since she has not had a decent nights sleep due to the two of us (me and baby) spend most of the night flipping and flopping around trying to stretch and get as much space as we can where we are at. I guess I can sofa-surf for the next four months. Not too likely though. Other than that all the blood work came back with really good results and the Doc says everything looks great. Here are some of the sonogram pics from yesterday, hopefully my scanner did a good enough job to see them.
I do have to say that today's sonogram machines are fabulous. Especially this last shot, look at the detail. WOW!!! I thnk that is definitely a Berglund nose.

We have an official due date!!
Teresa had her first official (insurance paid) doctors appointment yesterday. It's official, new Berglund en route. The new little Berglund will be arriving on or around July 28, 2009. The doc said Teresa is very healthy and that the only thing either of needed to do was not stress out and enjoy the ride. NOT STRESS OUT!!! WTF!!! Does this dipshit watch the news or read a newspaper? This country is on the verge of taking one huge shit that will be one of those real runny diarrhea blows that covers the entire bowl. Graphic I know, but if something doesn't get to working soon that graphic statement will be reality. I am not afraid of raising this kid but I am afraid of not being able to do it as successfully as I want to. I know that is every parents nightmare, however, it is my turn and I can be as dramatic as I want to be. My wife sure has taken to that liberty of drama. Everything, and I mean everything is a dramatic event that ends with a huge crescendo or a run to the fridge. Either way the event still turns dramatic. Some of it is absolutely hilarious because it is such minute BS she frets over but the other times are dangerous. BE VERY WARY OF THE HORMONAL!! I just about lost my left arm the other night when I reach for the remote setting between us on the couch. It just happened to be within reaching distance of her box of crackers. I am damn glad I have such good reflexes, whew! Well I think that is enough for today. Hope all is well with everyone, Drop a note and let us know how you are doing.
