First of all, let me open up with a big Happy Birthday to my friend and best man at our wedding, Bob Rivers. (Almost got you all there with the birthday notification.. didn’t I?)
Jeanette and I have a scheduled induction for Monday morning, meaning that barring spontaneous labor over the next several days, we’ll be incommunicado on Monday until we have news. I think that the disappointment of not having gone into labor naturally (so far) is being offset quite nicely by having a definite end date to the pregnancy and a beginning to parenthood, not to mention some time off work. With that, I’ll be stopping the whole “Babywatch Countdown” and simply putting a post up on Monday when we have something to report.
I want to thank everyone who has been so supportive throught the pregnancy, you’ve all given us a lot of emotional support which we most definitely appreciate!

Haha! I remember telling Jeanette that Gavin was due on the 7th and born on the 11th and she was all “It won’t be THAT late.” Gav’s birthday is tomorrow.

So cute that you think a Monday induction means a Monday birth…

hehe, well, that’s true too. I was induced with Gavin starting 7AM on 7/10. He was BORN at 1:40ish AM on 7/11.

What?!? No more baby watch updates? What am I supposed to fill my day with now since it won’t be checking to see if there’s a new baby yet? Oh no…now I’m going to have to watch the kids and start to get ready for our new baby.
