Coming soon . . .

Last week when we had our last ultrasound, the baby measured just over nine pounds (with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.3 pounds), as some of you already know. So today when we made our weekly visit to the obstetrician, he decided that Nicole should be induced a little bit early. Her original due date was June 8, but, unless the baby comes earlier, we'll be heading to the hospital on Sunday, June 1, to start the process.

We just had our last childbirth education class this evening, so we have the hospital's seal of approval, but we don't know if we're really ready yet. We'll find out.

We're going to try out cloth diapers, and the diaper service delivered our first load on Friday. We have a borrowed car seat and a bassinet. We have lots of onesies from the baby shower and other sources, but given the projected size, we're not sure all of them will fit. All we need now is some parenting experience.

We're planning some sort of calling tree so I won't have to spend the first two days of the baby's life on the phone. Keep your phones handy—the call could come any time. A special prize for the first one to post the news on the blog.


We're scheduled for 7am Sunday!
