Just another Saturday afternoon

Hello bloggers!

Go ahead and scroll down a little before reading this posting. You will find two photos of Melanie with baby in belly. Now, I'm no doctor, but that looks like one healthy baby who really wants to come out and meet her parents.

So, we had dinner with our midwives last night. Some spicy Thai to get little baby Cole jumping around. In an interesting development, Kelley decided not to make a follow-up appointment for next Friday. She feels the she may be seeing us again earlier in the week...

Of course, we're not sure of exact timing, other than the obvious...sooner or later, baby comin out. But we do know that Vegas odds have her listed at a 3-1 favorite for making an appearance sometime within the next 3 to 4 days (or 72 to 96 hours). Basically, anyone who picked an August due date is not looking too good in the baby pool.

So, while it is not the super-exciting news that labor is beginning, it is viewed in this blogosphere as quite-exciting news that labor is getting closer. Daddy did not sleep in this morning.

Just in case anyone is wondering, mommy is feeling great and baby is in a good position (Kelley's assessment, not mine). Also, window a/c's are installed, stroller is assembled, fridge is stocked, car is gassed and cameras are charged.

In other news, my office-mates threw me not one but two man-showers at work last week. One with pizza and one with cake. I'm very lucky to work with such a great group of individuals and all of your well-wishes were very, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Well, that's all for now. Going forward, I'll try to update the blog a little more regularly with any tidbits worth passing along.
