New Addition To The Family

So the little lady has arrived. On September 9th 2008. 6lb. 5 1/2 ounce, 20 inches long, Piper Elizabeth Bolin was born. After much stress and anticipation when it was go time to actually deliver her it honestly did not take very long. We got home yesterday and she still in these pics has the just born look, even today she looks so much better. She..is...a..cutie. And what's even better is that she does NOT cry. Like ever. She fusses a little to let you know she wants something and then she stops, can't beat that.

We were exhausted. We didn't sleep in the hospital and just the paranoia of her now being in the room made it impossible to get any sleep. We are home now and it's been great, every second is different and everytime she does something different you'd swear she learned to fly by the way we act.

Note: My next blog will be my DVD update blog. I got 29 new DVD's and a 360 game. I'll go in depth on them all so be sure to watch for it.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Waiting now.....Tiff went to the doctor this morning and he told her to wait until tomorrow for him to induce her. She is having major contractions and is dilated so we think that any second she will need to be rushed to the hospital so Tick Tock.....waiting sucks. Either way, tomorrow is the latest that Piper will be here, or so we think. As long as the labor does not take days to get through, she will be born tonight or tomorrow.

Note: Got a TON of new DVDs this weekend. I'll make a lengthy blog as soon as I can about them. I'm really excited with all the ones I found, so look out for it.

DVD Update

Exciting blog (to me anyways). As you know we collect DVD's. Today we went to a kinda, sorta yard sale thing. Really was dreading it because it did not look very enticing. So anyways, I'm wandering around and see a box with some DVD's in it. Didn't think much of it, expecting some crap movies, but it's always fun to hunt through piles for maybe a gem. I found a few really decent movies, a few cartoon movies, and a few that interested Tiffany so I asked the woman there how much for the whole box. She ended up saying 10 dollars for 19 DVD's. Wow. Not an amazing collection but definitely had some positives for not only me, but Tiff and Piper as well. What's just as amazing is that I didn't have one single DVD of what was in the box. So here they are...

• A Cinderella Story (Hilary Duff)
• Swiss Family Robinson
• Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (Frankie Muniz)
• Jersey Girl (Ben Affleck)
• Uptown Girls (Brittany Murphy)
• Shrek 2
• Star Wars III: Revenge Of The Sith
• Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
• In Good Company (Scarlett Johansson)
• Dukes Of Hazzard (Johnny Knoxville)
• Patch Adams (Robin Williams)
• Win A Date With Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel)....never heard of it
• Master And Commander (Russell Crowe)
• Nanny McPhee
• Land Before Time: The Great Longneck Migration
• Land Before Time: Invasion Of The Tinysauruses
• Elizabethtown
• Must Love Dogs
• Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (Kick Ass Box)

So there ya go. I'd say worth 10 bucks. Oh, my dad also surprised me by buying me the first Saw movie, which for some damn reason I didn't have yet. Love that movie. Ok as usual, want a review let me know, I may update my DVD Collection blog with these new ones but maybe not.

DVD Update

So I noticed in the K-mart paper today that they had a sale of 3 for 18$ in DVD's. Well I could not pass that up. Now they didn't have any great, GREAT movies but they had some movies that I have been wanting to add to my collection. My main goal was to find O' Brother Where Art Thou? Well I didn't find it so I was pretty bummed about that. First thing that caught my attention was a kick ass version of Unbreakable. Came in a great fold out box which I think we all can agree is freakin awesome. Next I bought Gone In 60 Seconds. I really enjoyed this movie and have been looking for a good price on it. Lastly I had trouble. Since I could not find O' Brother I didn't know where to turn. I bought Finding Neverland with Johnny Depp. I have heard many good things about it so I hope its good.

Note: How about some participation, eh? Ok so me and Tiff have somewhat of a conundrum. Since Piper will be here any day and we are both movie freaks, we have just assumed that Piper will be one too. So my question to you is...What should be her first movie? Now we have been debating on what will be her first. Should it be the old favorites? Like The Lion King or Aladdin? Or the slightly newer Toy Story or maybe the newest Finding Nemo or Ratatouille? What are your opinions on the issue? Feel free to give us your first if you know.

It's The Strangest Thing...

Note: Sixty STOP READING..scroll down to my entry before this one if you didn't read it first.

Ok so we went to the hospital at 11:30 this morning. We spent all day waiting and waiting trying to anticipate when they would call us back. It was going so, SO slow but I knew that once they finally called us back that things would start to snowball and would happen much more quickly. So the reason she needed a C-section is because she was still breached (head up, butt down). The bad part about a C-section is a couple things. First, it leaves a scar, second, its still a surgery, and lastly, its an extra 20 grand to have one.....yea.

Well we waited from 11:30 until about 5 or so and the doctor finally came in. This is finally it right? .....No. He did a final ultrasound to make sure she was still breached and low and behold, she turned. The doctor said it was only the 3rd time in 15 years that a baby had turned within 3 days.

So....they sent us home. Yea, all the stress and agony of waiting and after all that, no baby. No Piper. Well what pissed me off is that I thought they should have given her a ultrasound that morning and then we would not have had to wait all day. Seemed kinda pointless to have had to wait. Anyways. everyone agreed that natural childbirth would be the way to go.

So now we wait, and wait until nature runs its course. So I'm totally deflated. I was so in the zone of expecting that the next time I came home, I would not be alone. But what do ya do? Oh well? So I'll continue to keep ya posted.

So This Is It...

By 4 0'clock tomorrow my life will change forever. 10 months of stress and preparation leads to 5 minutes that it will take for my daughter to take her first breath. I've said before that it has felt like we were playing house for so long, but now that the day is set, the time exact, I find myself spinning in circles. I have struggled today to come to grips with what is about to happen and even though I am so, so happy, I can't help but to feel the fear run over me. Needless to say I won't be blogging for a few days, at least until Monday so please keep checking to see any updates. I'll be staying overnight in the hospital until Sunday and will try to get you guys some info as soon as I can.

Note: I experimented with a music player that I can add some new music to every few days. I seem to be able to add only 10 songs to the playlist which sucks so if anyone knows have to add more please let me know. If the player ends up being more of an annoyance tell me. I do this for you guys.

CD Collection

I figured this may be an interesting read for some, and a long uneventful one for others. Note that these are not even half of my cd's. I had bought all these at least 3 years ago and farther back. I have tons of burned cd's now that has a majority of the rest of my music. Ha also note that there are a few guilty pleasure bands in my collection and also a few that I bought or had gotten as a gift that were a little before my taste changed to what it is now..being rock and metal.

After each cd I put my 3 favorite songs, so If you are interested in a band you have a few songs to check out first.

Note: I apologize for how jumbled this list is, I fucked it up and could not get it organized. I hope you guys can read it ok even though it seems to blur together, so forgive me. Also I could not find the damn default color for the first cd name so that's why it is different.

Note: A * after the band and album are my recommendation to definitely check that band out.

So there they are. Just so you know the cd that I most regret buying is Dragonforce, I really got dragged into their hype and they DO NOT do it for me. The cd that was the most worth my money was honestly Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory. Its not my favorite cd but without buying that cd I would not be listening to what I do now. They are not nearly as hard as what I listen to now but that cd built that bridge that brought the heavy music into my life.

If anyone wants a review on an entire cd let me know. That would be a good change of pace. Let me know.
