Progressing

Things are moving along and the support staff has arrived. We are
expecting to have some news in the next hour or two, but for now Jill
is enjoying the epidural and both doing great.

Next update should be the big announcement!

Today is the day...

Things are moving forward, albeit slowly. We have to wait a couple
hours now for the drugs to kick in but it shouldn't be too much longer.

Thanks to Nancy's crew for the flowers, they have been a big hit.

Baby Time, Baby!

The time has come. We're loaded up and headed to the hospital!

Will post more details when I can, right now I have some breathing duties to attend to...

Control to tower....standby

Another day pretty much in the books, and Jill continues to be a good sport about this overly pregnant thing. She gets up and goes to work everyday, while Jim, Judy and I all just wait for her to get out the door so we can start the party.

Tonight we did double duty, in both trying to get this kid moving downward and getting the dogs some much needed exercise by going on a 1.5 mile walk around the neighborhood. I grabbed the camera to try a couple things out and to slow down the pace when needed, so here are a couple shots of our other children who are about to get a big dose of reality (just like Jill and I).

Baloo finally sits still long enough for me to take a pic so he can be a Blog star too.



Molly somehow in the last year or so got this odd freckle on her tongue.


So our Groundhog Day starts again tomorrow. 95 degrees, Jill goes to work, Molly naps all day, Baloo wants to play fetch, I ride my bike to burn some nervous energy, Judy cleans the house and Jim works out with more weights than a 25 year old.

Update from the doc...

Molly is anxiously awaiting to hear what the doctor has to say...


Doctor says Jill is 2cm dilated and that things are progressing, so it could be anytime. We got to listen to the baby's heart beat and they did an ultrasound for us but it was pretty hard to see much since he is so crammed in there right now. We're hoping that things get moving along naturally, otherwise we're looking at inducement on August 4th.

Waiting is just too much energy for Molls, she needs to pace herself.
