It's a boy!

He was 21 1/2 inches long
He weighed 8 pounds 7.5 ounces.

23 hours from water breaking to delivery! We are going to sleep now, it's been a long day!

Amy's Water Broke

1:25 am

We're packed

We are now fully packed. Amy's friend Jen helped her figure out what she needed. (They used their friend Tina's list as a guide). We have one suitcase and a diaper bag along with the car seat in my car ready to go. The toiletry bag is in our bathroom. We had a run through of the toiletry bag yesterday when we went to the doctor's office not knowing what to expect.

We are fully ready!

D-day weekend approaching

The predicted delivery day is approaching. We have no idea as to whether he will come out on Sunday or not. We do have a doctor's appointment set for Monday early morning and they will perform a Non-Stress Test to see how the baby does. Other than that nothing to really report. In a few minutes there will be less than 200,000 seconds left until delivery day.

Oh, we caught 3 mice in our garage and I temporarily fixed a hole in our garage door with duct tape. We caught the 3 mice in a 24 hour period. We have gone 36 hrs without any more, so we hope we are done with them.

Dates have passed

No Christmas Eve baby, no Christmas baby, no New Years Eve baby and, for now, no New Years baby. That also means no tax break--oh well, no big deal. We are now approaching the original due date which means I need to go back to work tomorrow and wonder each time Amy calls, if baby is on his way.

Due date is in 5.5 days, or 476,325 seconds.

We have not yet caught the mouse, which either means he died of fright from me chasing him and will smell inside our walls, or that he is still loose in our garage, or that he packed his bags and went out in the snow and ice to live where all mice should: outside (highly doubtful).
