The Ridgeway family has gone nuclear.

Eloise was born September 19th, right on her due date.

She came out at exactly 4:36 pm, just 8 hrs after Anna's water broke.

She's a long one. Long legs. Long arms. Long fingers. 21.5 inches in all.

Awww....

7.48 lbs of baby love.

Mmm... baby hair smells good.


Transcending her first shakra.

Look what I can do!

A womb with a view

Isn't technology grand? Our parents never had constant uterine surveillance. Who knows what I got away with in there? Now, Anna and I know exactly what our little one is up to at all times.   Hey! Junior! Stop that rotating! You're going to kink your umbilical!!!

The wierd thing is, we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl.

Names that didn't make the cut

Naming a baby is hard. Especially for a copywriter. But no matter how much raw power a name can hold, mommy has to like it too. Here are some awesome names that apparently weren't awesome enough:

Thunder Raiyne Ridgeway
Handsome Jack Ridgeway
Marshall Law Ridgeway
Rick James Ridgeway
Zeus Factor Ridgeway


Middle names

Tanem is a Norwegian surname and happens to be the maiden name of Anna's grandmother. We like it as a middle name.  

In waiting

Waiting for a baby can make you crazy. I think I'll make a blog.
