We hope to keep all of our cross-provincial friends, and those abroad, updated with this blog. And maybe even hear from some who are long lost friends.

our baby's here!

Here he is ... baby Colin Wayne Sawatzky, born Friday, June 29th at 1:06am, weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 1/4" in length. It was a quick labour and delivery, and we praise God that we're all healthy and doing very well.
Colin was taken to the NICU about an hour after delivery to be observed because of gitters and grunting. Turns out that it resolved itself and all the tests they preformed came back normal and healthy.
Oma booked her flights about 6 weeks ago, knowing that she would come and go before the baby's due date. God is so cool, because Colin came about 8 hours before she arrived here in Saskatoon. We are so grateful for her help, cooking, cleaning and helping with Colin. What a blessing!
Nadia is loving Colin and being a great big sister so far!
Our twins!? This is Nadia's Heavy Baby and Colin in the playpen. They are pretty much the same size.

For all of you who guessed about when the baby would be born - thanks! It was a great turn out! But the winner is ... Tim! And as a celebration for himself he bought the Colin McRae computer game ... Dirt. I'm sure Colin and Daddy will be racing cars against each other soon!

Hey! I just wanted to say that I'm still going to spoil Nadia. Boys just don't appreciate it as much as girls. But I'm sure Colin will love his Auntie spoiling him too. I'll try to spoil them fairly.

Did you name him after the guy who wrote the game?
