baby says hi...

...well sort of. we spent last night from 9-11pm in labor and delivery wondering if baby k was going to finally make his/her debut...alas...no show. so I went to my scheduled doctor appointment for the non-stress test and an ultrasound. baby looks GREAT! he/she is very comfortable and I'm still only dilated to 1 cm. looks like we'll be waiting for the induction on thursday morning to find out what this baby is. in the meantime...here are a couple of head shots of the baby. his/her first modeling gig! ha...they are both of the face - the one labeled LIPS is basically of the nose and mouth and in the one labeled FACE you can see the eyes, nose, and mouth. hope these will tide you all over until we get a real picture in a couple of days! we are VERY anxious to meet this little one.

41 weeks!

here's a shot taken around 7pm Sunday night. Robin has never wanted to have a baby more in her whole life. we're both anxiously awaiting the time when we can head to the hospital and finally experience the delivery, but we still don't know for sure when that will be. we have a scheduled induction date of this Thursday, May 22nd in case the baby decides not to make his/her decent by then.
i will be going in to work on Monday morning, but Robin has decided to end her school year early and stay home until the baby comes, as she's can't really stay comfortable and agile at the same time anymore. i'll still be providing frequent updates here so everyone can know how the three of us are doing.

due date excitement is lacking

today is the due date for the baby to arrive, but we're not finding any progress on the subject of baby delivery. when the time comes, however, we will be providing any newsworthy information here, so keep an eye out for an email letting you know to check in on the website.

"yes, we'll hold"

the baby currently has us on hold. we're just waiting around at this point to see if Sunday will indeed be the day that the baby decides to make its move.
we wanted to give an update on Robin since it's been a couple of weeks. she's looking as great as ever, even through her discomfort. she's decided to share with you a shot from "preggo-cam" so everyone can see what the view of her swollen feet look like. she's eagerly looking forward to the swelling going away once the baby arrives.
i'm also including a couple pictures of the nursery since it's now completed. thanks again to Uncle Seth and Aunt Beth for help with the paint, Grandpa Mike and Grandma Nancy for the crib, and Shevik's for the bureaus.
enjoy the pictures, and don't forget to vote in the poll if you haven't already - time is running out!
