Reality Check

Rebecca has had a 'baby buddy' in one of her former coworkers. Her friend was pregnant with her first child, and was a little over three weeks ahead of us. Well, she gave birth yesterday to a little girl. It was definitely a reality check for us. This is for real! We're up next!

Here is a pic of Rebecca in her glowing pregnant glory.

Welcome!

Ok, so we're a little late getting this blog started. Better late than never!

Rebecca is 35 weeks today. At our last visit (at 34 weeks) the ultrasound calculated a gestational age of 36.6 weeks and a weight of around 6 lbs 6 oz. So, we may be seeing Junior a little earlier than we thought. Rebecca's doctor said that she'd induce about 10 days before the due date (November 1) if nothing happens before then. So, we wait....

In the meantime, here are some much anticipated pictures of the nursery. Grandma Vera has been asking that we send some out so we can keep up with my Aunt Judy and her pictures of Harrison. :) Hopefully this will help out!

I am going to try to keep this blog updated as we go through this adventure, but cut me a little slack if I get behind, especially after Junior arrives. :)

Since our bedroom is downstairs and the nursery is upstairs, we have set up a pack-n-play (from Grandma Vera) in the study which is across the hall from our bedroom. The changing table is installed in the picture. We have resolved not to let the baby sleep in our room, but we'll see... :o

In case anyone was wondering, we sought refuge at the Davis' house in Ruston this past weekend. We arrived back in Houston on Sunday night and had a nice day off on Monday. Rebecca's doctor even sent us home with her maternity records just in case when we left her office last week. We didn't have any issues with traffic or gas, which was a blessing indeed.

Until next time!
