Welcome to early labor

We went to see the Dr. this morning and we were told that Mel is now in the early stages of labor. She is 1-2cm dilated, knowing this still does not help us with a “when is this going to happen” date. Dr. says we can be a few days to 2 weeks out so I guess I will just keep my cell phone on and wait for Mel to call me. Keep you all posted.

By popular demand..........

Apparently people want to see a picture of Mel pregnant, it’s like sasquatch, you can hear stories but until you see it with your own eyes you don’t believe it. As some of you may know it is not so easy to get final approval from Mel when it comes to releasing photos, here are two that I have taken recently.
In other news, Mel’s last day of work was yesterday, that leaves us 2 weeks out from our due date. We think are are about as ready as we can be so we are now just waiting for the bomb to drop..................

The baby's room

So here is a quick look at the baby’s room, we have been pretty busy the last few months setting everything up. We have probably thrown out more stuff in the past 3-4 months then in the last 3-4 years, it has actually been a pretty cathartic experience. For some reason a little human needs a fair amount of stuff, but I think that we have done a nice job on getting everything ready so our little girl will be comfy when she gets here. For a better look at her room have a look at this video.

Welcome

So, we are having a baby! We have put this blog together so that all of you who don’t live around the corner can keep up with everything that is going on with us. We wish that you could all be here and be a part of this with us, but for now this will just have to do. I guess we are pretty lucky to even be able to do this, seeing that I spent the first 7 years of my life outside the country I am sure that my folks would have killed to keep everyone posted in such an easy manner. We hope that you will all check in from time to time to see what’s going on, we miss you and hope to see you all very soon.
