To Infinity and Beyond!

37 Weeks and Counting!

This wonderful rendition was created by my husband. He was bored. It is quite disturbing to me. You can really see the "humps" that represent our son's body parts. I wasn't all that willing to share this photo with everyone. However, it makes Mark laugh.

It looks as if we are in the final stretch of our 10 month journey. The baby and I both have perfectly clean bills of health. This is only a problem for me because I am ready to stay home and rest up, and no one is willing to write a doctor's note for a healthy woman. Go figure! Ian has consistantly scored 8 out of 8 on the biophysical profiles I have each week. There have been 4 so far. He is practicing his breathing and is moving quite nicely. It is interesting to see his belly and chest rise and fall as he is mimicking breathing.

The nursery is finished. Woohoo! I keep buying more and more baby clothes. The car seat base is installed in the car (thanks to Suzy's wonderful boyfriend, the local police officer, Adam). We have taken a tour of the hospital. My bag is packed. If Ian decides to come tonight we are ready for him, at least in the physical sense.

Mark has been working on a web services project that will allow him to send a single text message to a server that will send the text message to anyone we list in the program with a cell phone. He wants this to be his way of letting everyone know when the big event happens. Those without cell phones will get a call via Mark, Suzy, my mom, or Mark's mom.

Thanks to all of you that have given or sent the wonderful gifts I have received over the last 2 months. Thanks to the many of you that helped out tremendously and purchased much needed things off of the registry. Thanks to the many tips and tricks that have been passed along.
