HAPPY EASTER!

One Week Old!!!!

It is officially Kelli's one week birthday today!

Okay so you think it would be easier to stay up on my blogging now that Kelli is home and I am up at all hours of the night. Well its not. Most of the time I am too interested n just looking at this new creation. I finally watched a little TV with her last night while Amy slept, and now I am here.

Okay so Kelli is sleeping pretty good, but has decided that between 12-3 she needs to be wide awake, even if she eats at that time.

We went to Kelli's two day check-up and everything is fine. She lost very minimal weight and everything seems to be on track for a healthy baby.

Yesterday was Easter, and Kelli made it to church. I will post a picture of her in her Easter dress in a little bit.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Well Amy and I just got home from Skipolini's Pizza, home of the Prego Pizza. Which is said to induce labor. After that we went geocaching and walked a little bit.

There is nothing new yet on the labor front, well she is having a few contractions, but they are still infrequent.

Oh in case you wanted to know, Amy's mucus plug is out, which is a good sign that the baby is on the way in the next week or so. :-)

Today is suppose to be the day!

But all signs are pointing to later.

Amy's mom arrived last night, and is now in waiting mode with Amy and I.

We went to the our hopefully last pre-natal visit yesterday. Everythign is going perfectly, but slowly. Amy is 70+% effaced, and Kelli has dropped a little bit more. Obviously we are going to be a few days late, hoepfully not more. However, we have our next doctors appointment next monday for some tests, and if Amy still hasnt gone into labor at that point we will schedule a day to be induced.

Well I will let you know more when I find out.

Greetings from Soon-To-Be-Parentland.

Okay so we are now officially a week away from the expected due date. We are beginning to get a bit more nervous every day. Not scared nervous, but more excited nervous, the kind of nervous that you experience the night before you go to Disneyland.

We picked up our mini van today, in drives like a dream, and will be perfect for the family, and for youth group.

I will try to switch to daily updates on here to keep everyone informed of what is happening. Amy has begun to get some false labor pains, They provide us with a great opportunity to practice some of our lamaze materials.

Here are a few pictures that we took.

See you tomorrow.
