Aiden's U.S. Tour

Following a visit by Grandma and Grandpa Waltemade (Izzy and Papaw), we unexpectedly hopped on a plane to Chicago. We spent several days there, an afternoon in Michigan City, and several days in Knoxville, TN. Go to the Photos page to see these latest pictures.

Introducing Aiden Robert Siddall

Born at 6:03pm, weighing in at 8lbs-1 ounce, and 20 inches long please say hello to our beautiful baby boy! Mom and baby are doing well. More pics and details coming soon.....

The big day...but no baby!

Well, today is the due date. We are ready....but where is the baby?! We are off to the doctor this afternoon to see if this baby will be born anytime soon. We tried to rock it out last night when we attended a Jamie Cullum concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Nothing doing. Apparently Kirstin's belly is just too comfortable. Perchance it is all of the ice cream that she eats?

Nothing yet...

We are two days away from the due date, but nothing yet! It is getting pretty difficult to wait! The doctor says if nothing happens, we will be induced next Thursday or Friday. Within ten days we will meet this little one...

Final Countdown!

We are down to the final weeks and couldn't be more excited! Baby KirMatt seems to be ready to go, which is great because there doesn't appear to be too much room left in the belly. We are so ready to meet the little one that has kept us laughing, guessing, loving, crying, smiling, and not sleeping for the past 37 weeks. It's so soon but it seems so far away...

The nest is almost ready for the baby bird!

The Gorilla King

Parents proud and full of pride, we're transforming weary water cooler conversation into contagious kid-talk. Although months have passed, not a waking hour goes by without thinking about Baby Siddall. How could anything attract so much of our heart? Everything we do has new shape, new inspiration, and new meaning....

Wiggle Worm

All wheels are in full motion. We parted ways with our VW, we're on the move, and the baby is too. For the past several weeks Baby Siddall has been more and more active. From little butterflies to full summersaults and even visible movements on Moms belly.

Behind the scenes Mom has been hard at work. She is counting down her final days to graduation. May 18th she will be receiving her Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Development from California State Fullerton. Way to go Kir!!!

God bless evolution!

Anxiously we began the ultrasound. Comforted by the outline of a classic bobble-headed baby we smiled and without hesitation glanced towards the middle of the screen. The Doctor knew what we came to see and as we looked closer everything around us began to disappear. It was all starting to happen. This moment, the most important of all, was undeniably ours.
Time slowed, the image focused, and for the very first time we saw our baby's beating heart.....

Can you smell that smell?

Mom is doing well as she turned the corner in her roller- coaster ride with morning sickness. Our latest feat has been to identify the nauseating smell coming from the fridge. Ironically this smell can only be detected by the super-spidy senses of a pregnant Mom. Needless to say, Dad continues to scratch his head on this one. Not to worry though folks, we've called in Arm&Hammer for backup.


Dad has begun lining up all necessary nesting projects. Feeling bold after the great news about his baby, he will test his entire skill set by attempting to remodel a bedroom, sell a car, clean a garage, and assemble various furniture items. Expectations are low but promising.
