The Sacramento Koenigs: Baby Watch 2008

Welcome!

We're thrilled to share our happenings with family and friends across the country. We've been married for almost five years. We moved to Sacramento, CA in May 2007 to begin new careers and a new chapter in our lives together. Since then, we have purchased our first home, adopted another dog (Felix) in addition to Easy, and welcomed our first child, Carter, into the world in 2008. Our second child (sex and name still TBD) will be arriving near Halloween this year. All of these topics will, we're sure, be the subject of future posts. Check back regularly for updates! David, Jackie, Carter, Baby Koenig, Easy & Felix

Baby Watch 2008 - 10 Days and Counting

As of today, we are chillin' at home awaiting the arrival of Carter. Ok, in reality? Jackie is on bed rest due to high blood pressure (trying to deal with restlessness, soreness and boredom) and Dave is working from home (doing a great job of managing stress, Jackie on bed rest, two antsy dogs and the knowledge that life is about to change). We're extremely excited and anxious for Carter to join us -- but our stubborn little dude seems intent on taking his time. With this in mind, our doctor has scheduled an induction for Labor Day (ironically), September 1st at 5:00am. The induction is the result of Carter's size: turns out, the Sacramento Koenigs grow large babies (he's currently running about 7.5 lbs.). While we're optimistic that Carter will change his mind and decide to arrive before then, it is still quite interesting to know there's an official date when we will become parents, as well! We'll be sure to keep you posted in the week ahead.
