Ian Meeks Rosner is Officially Here!

Hooray our little Ian is finally here! Ian Meeks Rosner joined the family on June 26, 2009 at 2:33 pm. Weighing in at 9 lbs. 11oz. and measuring 21. 5 inches tall, he’s definitely a Rosner! Ian looks just like Davey and has a full head of dark hair (Davey did too at one point but it all fell out and grew back lighter). Labor and delivery went well. I was induced on Thursday night after finding cloudy amniotic fluid in an ultrasound earlier that day. I was already 2 days from the due date and they estimated Ian to weigh 9 lbs. 4oz. so the doctor suggested we go to the hospital. Sure enough during labor when the doctor broke my water it proved that Ian had gone #2 in the fluid. Labor was progressing slowly and I was given Pitocin to get things moving. Within just a few hours it was time for Ian to be born. I labored and delivered without any pain medication. Phew! What an experience that was! Ian had the umbilical cord loosely wrapped around his neck once and had breathed in some of the dirty fluids. He was pretty quickly taken up to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for respiratory distress. Ian spent the next 4 days there on oxygen, IV fluids and antibiotics. I recovered well and came home on Sunday. Thanks to wonderful nurses and lots of faithful prayers, Ian came home yesterday, healthy as can be.

As for the game winner… We look at all the guesses and have determined Mariah and Enrique to be the winners! We based this on their guessing the closest birthday and size. The prize will be mailed to you (I haven’t decided what to send yet, some sort of gift card). Thanks to everyone for participating, it was lots of fun!

We hope you all are doing well! Take care and much love to you, Allison, Brian, Davey and Ian

Ian (haven't decided on a middle name) Rosner

Born June 26th, 2009 at 2:33 p.m. He was 9 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 and a half inches long. Allison and Ian are doing well! Pictures will come as soon as I get some. Oh wait, lets not forget the extra amazing part Allison gave birth to Ian with no medicine or epidural. GO ALLISON! You are a strong woman! Yay Ian! We are glad you are here!

Ditto Salad

Here is the famous pasta salad recipe.

Curly colored pasta
Zesty Italian Dressing (kraft)
Salad Toppings ( find them by the bacon bits)
Salad Supreme ( spice isle)
Cucumber; peeled and chopped
Tomatoes; chopped
Broccoli; chopped
Green Onions; chopped (optional)

Boil pasta al dente. Rinse in cold water. Drain.
Mix in big bowl, pasta, veggies and salad supreme.
Add in toppings and dressing. Toss well.
I use about 3/4th of the bottle at first. The rest later if needed. The pasta will suck up a lot of the dressing.
*You can use any veggies you like.

June Birthdays

Long Distance Baby Game

I thought it’d be fun for us to all play a long distance baby shower game. Our little man is due to join the family in just a few more weeks. The game involves guessing:
1. The date he’s born
2. His height
3. His weight
4. Suggest a name
The game is: the person(s) who makes the closest guess to the first three items will get a prize (some sort of gift card mailed to your house). Place your guess by adding a comment to this post.
Things to remember: The due date for Little One is June 27th. Davey was a week overdue and was 9lbs. 13oz. and 23 inches tall at birth. The name suggestion is just for fun and will not be taken into account for the prize. We have a name or two in mind but I just want to see what everyone else comes up with.
This game is open to everyone, not just the ladies. Just keep it to one guess per family please!
We hope you are all well. Happy guessing!
