Chloe Cam

We have just installed an internet camera. With this, we hope you will all be able to enjoy Chloe events as they happen. Perhaps you can tune in and watch her sleep, spit up, or other interesting baby type happenings. You should be able to watch her walk, open presents, and even hear her (and us) talk. That isn't to say that Mike and Justin won't have their 15 minutes of fame (or shame as the case may be). You'll also be able to watch Harmony sleep and bite people.
Here is the link, I hope that it works, this is still an experiment.

you may have to cut and paste that for it to work, but it needs to be in exactly like it is above.

when a new window opens, you can click on View Video for the show to begin. If the Camera is off line

Baby Shower

We wanted to take another opportunity to thank everyone who attended our baby shower recently at my parents new mansion. We greatly appreciate all the gifts, the support, and the time everyone put in. It was great to see everyone again, as we are spread further apart by distance and obligations, it means alot to be able to be around people you love

Well, time to go, looks like someone is hungry.

Chloe's 4D Ultrasound

This was the coolest thing I have ever seen. I had tears in my eyes when we could see the contours of her little face. I know some of these pictures may take some imagination to see, but they are clear as day to me.


 

More 4D Ultrasound

 

Chloe's 4D Ultrasound

 

Latest Update.

Nothing new to report so far. Everything is going very well. The boys are doing good in 4th and 5th grades. The cat hasn't been overly bad lately. The weather has been nice so I've been able to do some things inside and outside of the house.
It should be getting close to time for me to be able to feel the baby kick. Anita says she should be opening and closing her eyes sometime this week.
I'll be going home next weekend to help Mom and Dad start moving. Anita is going to let the boys have a sleepover party for some of their friends while I'm gone.
We will be going for our 4D ultrasound right before Thanksgiving so hopefully I will be able to get those picture put up very soon after we get them.
That's all for now, I hope everyone else is doing good. Email us sometime, we would love to here from everyone.

Latest Glamour Shots

These pictures show Chloe's Feet, and her body.







Here you can see her ribs and head really well.







Here's her little arms, and the part that let us know she was a girl.




That's all for now. Mom and baby are doing great. I spent most of the day crawling under the house moving the cable connections so our living room will look better for the baby shower. Then I guess I'll paint it. Having a kid is alot of work. 

Finally!

While today is a day of rememberance for our country, we will now have something happy to remember in the future on September 11th.

Today we found out we are having a Girl!

Of course, I take all the credit with my ingenious idea to wear my lucky "girl getting hat". The same hat that I used to lure in my lovely wife, also helped me determine what Butterbean was going to be.

We will have new ultrasound pictures on here hopefully tomorrow evening. I am also working on a way to get the video of the ultrasound up for everyone to watch.

Latest Picture and News

Anita's doctor appointment on August 2nd went real well. The doctor said she was fit to return to light duty and that the baby was A-OK.

The baby did it's first major somersault on Wednesday the 9th and scared us a little. But that resulted in the picture you see to your left, unless you are in Australia, then it is still on your left.

You can see the baby kicked back, taking it easy. All it needs is a remote and a frosty beverage.

Serious Note.

We recently had to make a visit to the Emergency Room for Anita. We had quite a scare, but it seems everything will be ok. We have a follow up visit on August 2nd to further discuss the cause and effect of the situation. I will let you know what the outcome of the visit is.
During our 4 hour hospital stay, we were able to see an ultrasound of the baby. We were able to watch it dance, shake, wave, swallow, and even play with it's toes. We could also make out all the fingers and toes. Our little Boogie Machine put on quite a show, even the Ultrasound Tech was enjoying the performance.
Anita is doing well, but she is confined to the house until at least her doctor's visit, and possibly longer depending on his recommendations.

Sleeping quarters.

Here is the newly assembled Baby Motel, all ready for a bundle of joy (and poo). My Mother and Father Inlaw supplied us with this delux accommodation just after they brought us over some chicken and dumplins, joy all around. 

Possum

And then I'll spring into action, you believe that, don't you? 

Timesaver.

Sleep and shower, set to go. 

Please.

Can't a cat get a little privacy while I'm doing whatever it is a cat normally does in a sink. 

If I ever....

If I ever get this other eye open, you're done for..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 

It's what's for dinner.

A lovely homemade Lasagna. I made this not matter what Anita says. You know how she is.... 

Brothers.

Here's the boys, minus the fuzzy one, at the Montgomery Zoo. 

The Fuzzy Brother

Here you can see our ferocious guard cat, Harmony, at his post, vigilant in his duties. He is, apparently, protecting us from nightmares. He does this alot. 

Latest Butterbean Picture.

Here's a new picture of our offspring. You can see that it has sprouted an arm and a leg. The head is still there. Don't be alarmed, we didn't change it's name to "Fanny", they actually labeled the butt.
I think it's like the pictures you stare at and then see a sailboat or something. 

Upromise

Friends and Family,

We are taking advantage of Corporate America to help fund our children's college savings.
If you have a Winn Dixie, CVS or Publix discount card (both available free at any checkout register) then we can add that number to our Upromise registry and be able to collect dollars towards college. It is free to participate, all you have to do is buy stuff to eat, eat it, and buy more stuff, and I'm sure you can all do that.
If you would like a link to signup to help, or if you would like me to register your card for you and save you the time (so maybe you can do more shopping with all that free time), then please email me at "upromise@whitefamilyusa.com" and I'll be happy to help.
Thank you and good night.

C.B.'s First Portrait

Today we had an ultrasound. So to my left, you will see what appears to be a butterbean. However, it was pointed out that this is actually a baby of sorts.
The labels on the picture point out the baby and the yolk sac.
We did get to hear it's little motor running, at a steady 128 beats per minute.
The doctor said everything was exactly how it should be at 6 1/2 weeks and we are due for another appointment in about 4 weeks, but sadly there are no more pictures for a little while.
Stay tuned for more updates! 

Justin

We just found out today that Justin made the Tallassee Tribune by being on the A/B Honor Roll. As soon as I can get a copy of the paper I'll post a little picture of it. The newspaper doesn't have online access, which is no surprise since the whole paper is only about 4 pages and comes out every two weeks or so.

New Addition

Well anyone reading this should already be aware, but in case you forgot, we are expecting a baby sometime. Tentatively we estimate our due date around January 31st, but stay tuned for updates from a more educated source. We have an ultrasound scheduled for Thursday morning and we hope to be able to see the heart beat at that time.
But not to take anything away from the rest of the family:
Mike won the 4th grade Spelling Bee and is moving on to 5th grade next year.
Justin reached his reading point goal and had excellent grades to finish out the 3rd grade.
Harmony continues to be very opinionated and slightly disrespectful, and at the same time amazingly cute.
Anita, is of course, with bun in said oven and incubating nicely as well as keeping the house in order and building my waistline with homecooked meals.
I continue to be a good for nothing lay-about who only writes in the Blog and kills the bugs that haplessly wander in to the house.

A New Beginning

Welcome to our fledgling blog. Here we hope to be able to keep all our family, near and far, updated on the Whitecentric Universe that is our house. Topics can range from the mundane to the inane and even the chaotic. From all of us, we hope you will enjoy!

Steve, Anita, Mike, Justin, Harmony (the boy cat), and Baby C.B.
