Keep the Car Running - AF

Nothing yet. The official due date is ONE WEEK from today. Dr.'s appointment yesterday - Sally is carrying 2 inches lower but no other news. We made an appointment for next Thursday but hopefully we wont be able to keep it. I suggested a small shot of Pitosin (labor inducing drug) but no one laughed but me. Sally looks great but is exhausted carrying around the next President/L.A. Kings Center/McNair Scholar/Land Speed Record Holder/Bass Virtuoso for so long. It has been much easier for me, I just have to put things together and keep my junk off of the dining room table. Our Doc is on Jury Duty as of the 8th of October so I am hoping for contractions soon and very little reasonable doubt if it is later.

Look for more embarassing photos soon. The baby has picked my old "photo studio" as his/her nursery so it takes a bit more effort to scan and upload authentic pictures from the murky basement. It is getting colder here and the forcast is calling for rain all week, possibly snow way up north. New names this week include Viggo, Ian, and Nanuk.

The Waiting is the Hardest Part (for me)

So I was wrong about Sunday. I was sure that the baby would be born on the first day of fall and be named "Leaf", "Autumn", or "Dreary". Sally went through the day without one contraction. I had the day planned, but the baby wasn't going to comply. Since then there has been alot of movement in the belly, especially around bedtime. So during this period of anxiety I will share pictures from the last ultrasound we had in which the Nurse counted fingers, toes, heart chambers, and measured body parts. I think this was around 20 weeks but not sure.

Quade!!!!!!!

Here is a photo of the actual prego - obviously she is not a badger, well.......... This photo was taken about 30 weeks when were were scampering for photos to send to mom in New Jersey. At this point nothing had been set up in the baby's room, and Sally had few physical complaints with the exception of a bad taste in her mouth 24/7.

The Heat is on - Glen Frye

The time is near. The crib has been assembled. Tiny articles of clothing have been washed and separated into drawers according to size code and functionality. We have two weeks as of today until the official due date, but something is telling me that the fireworks will start on this Sunday. Maybe because I am ready, or because it is the first official day of Fall... I don't know, mainly because I am ready. I know Sally is ready too, she wants her body back and the ability to once again sleep on her back and drink Brewhouse beer. So, I will attempt to update as frequently as possible, with pictures. And I will also attempt to refrain from swearing and being inappropriate, just in case Grandma reads this.
