How time passes!

Wow! Wow! Wow is all I have to say. I have told myself time and time again to sit down and write to you on this blog. When I say you, I am directing this towards you "Eden Claire Barsness." It will be three years since the last time I wrote on here soon and so much has became of you. I have so much to share, show, and tell you. I don't even know where to begin. This is gonna take a few weeks but we gotta start somewhere. So lets begin.

The first year! You were born beautiful and I mean it! When your mother gave birth to you you were (intermission: you just stopped me to play beach ball by whipping the ball at the computer!) the most gorgeous little being I had ever laid my eyes on.

Am I right or am I right! What a doll you were and are! At first you slept and slept a a lot. Except for when mom and dad wanted to sleep. Well let me re-phrase that, except for when mom wanted to sleep. We could put you into your swing and goodnight. You would rock and rock all day long. As the days past you began to change daily as well. The whimpers turned into spitting bubbles (which was hilarious, we do have on video.) You laying calmly on the floor on your blanket turned into you rolling around on the floor. Eventually you were sitting up and crawling around getting into all sorts of stuff. The DVD case in particular was and still is one of your favorite things to get into.

I have realized that I may have to write this at night once you have laid down. You have just came down and grabbed me for your fifth piece of Provolone cheese.

Eden & Mom Home & Healthy

Well its official........ Jessy and I are the proud parents of a little girl. Eden was born May 11, 2009 at 11:03 p.m. She was born a healthy 6.8 pounds and was 19 3/4 inches.



Our Dr. told us last week if we didn't have Eden by the 8th and we wanted her to deliver her we should plan to have Jessy induced on Monday the 11th. So Friday rolled around and no little girl yet. That prompted the phone call to make the appointment for Mondays induction. The weekend slowly passed with little happening besides may people, including myself, saying "well tonight is the night" and "shes gonna be here today, I can just feel it."



Monday came and before we new it we were in the hospital having a baby! The whole process went great. And our main goal was reached which was having a healthy baby and a healthy mom. I couldn't be more proud of Jessy she is more strong and brave than I ever will be. She did a wonderful job and I love her and baby Eden beyond words.

WAITING!

So here I am, four days before the due date, WAITING. I went into work this morning around 6:30 until noon and have to go back in tonight from 10:00 till God knows when. We are working at the hospital and can only do certain things at certain times. Point at hand:I can't sleep now! I am just way to excited.

Jessy had Dr. appointment at 1:30 and as I writing this she called. She said the Dr. figures the baby is definitely close and that we should more likely figure on becoming new parents by this weekend! Well there you go. Like I said earlier I am sure Jessy is annoyed of my constant questions of weather or not she is feeling anything or if we need to go yet. I am like a five year old going on his first road trip. That's all I needed though, something to give me an idea of when she will be here. I am relaxed...........but for how long?

While I was on here I figured I would post a couple pics of the Eden's room. Gotta jet though and try to get some sleep. Might not be getting any sometime in the near future.

The Beginning Of A New Life

I have been told alot lately that my life is about to change and will never be the same again. I can't imagine otherwise being Jessy And I will be receiving a gift from God any day....hour.....minute.....or second now. The birth of our baby girl, Eden Claire Barsness. I have never been so excited, nervous, anxious, and excited again in my whole life.



The majority of the baby preparation is done now. Eden's room was painted last weekend by her Grandma Colling and Jessy. Eden's room, which use to be referred to as "Scheels Sporting Goods" by Jessy, now has baby blue walls and a yellow ceiling. The Deer antlers are off the wall, pheasant feathers tucked away, and gun cabinet buried in the closet behind camo clothing. Yet, I have never been more excited. Once again I hear in the back of my mind, "Your life will never be the same again" and "she is gonna rule your world, nothing will come before that new little girl of yours." I have to agree.



So bring on the sleepless nights and dirty diapers. The first tooth, cuts and bruises, crying.....crying..........crying.......crying, kindergarten, high school, college, more crying, and maybe around thirty a nice young gentleman like myself.



This is the story of Eden Claire Barsness.
