SHOCKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is an outrage.

My jaw dropped open when I read this. I cannot believe it.

Due to an undisclosed "medical condition," Paris Hilton has been reassigned from jail to her home, where she will wear an electronic monitoring device. "She was not released, she was reassigned," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore said at a press conference Thursday.

Hilton has been credited with five days of time served and will spend the remaining 40 days of her 45-day sentence confined to her home wearing an ankle bracelet with a range of 3,000-4,000 square feet. Asked whether she would be confined completely, Whitmore said: "There's some fudge with that. If someone goes and gets their mail, if they're 30 minutes outside, that's okay. It's a complicated electronic situation."

he's hungry too!

In all of the excitement of baby Z's arrival it appears we neglected our little Bicknell. He was ravenously hungry and we finally stopped by the pet store to get him a little mouse to eat. It is the fastest we have ever seen him attack and swallow his prey. The poor little mouse never even had a chance! Normally Bicknell has to chase them around the cage for awhile, but today he had uncanny precision on the attack and basically ate the mouse out of kent's hand!!! The tail and little hind legs are all that remained of the mouse by the time we got the camera!!!

Jail is not hot!

Monday night Paris reported for jail! What a fun fun day!

Prisoner 9818783 is on her best behavior, according to the latest updates from the jail. Paris, 26, had the usual jail breakfast on Monday: cereal, bread and juice!

She reported to jail late Sunday after a weekend of partying and attending the MTV Movie Awards. "She's doing very well under the circumstances," Hutton said. "The staff here have reported that she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for helping her."

The gory details of having a baby!


Our new favorite (ephemeral) organ:
THE PLACENTA!!

Weight Discrepancy


There may have been a problem with Zeb's first weigh in. He initially weighed 6 lbs 5 oz. The next weighing about 24 hours later was 6 lbs 13 oz. and then in another 24 hours 6 lbs. 10 oz. Because babies tend to lose weight after being born they believe he was closer to 7 lbs. at birth. I guess we'll never know... It seems they pricked his heels every 6 hours for glucose for no reason! Toughen him up from the get go!!!

From Fetus to Baby




Weighing in at a whopping 6 lbs. 5 oz. our kicking fetus has turned into a small little baby! Charles Zbinden Miller, Zeb for short, was born at 9:18 A.M. Friday, June 1st. The delivery was great and Leisy feels wonderful. Leisy kept telling herself to not have the baby until May 31st at 7:00 P.M. Amazingly her first contractions began at 6:30 that night. After finsihing work and going on a bike ride she was ready for the baby to come!!! Nothing will slow her down! It was so much fun to not know if he was a boy or girl until he came out. WOW - What have we done!!!! We are parents - how crazy!!
