The Final Countdown
It's more than just a terribly awesome song by Europe...it's exactly where our family of four (I'm not going to leave Mackenzie the Dog out...she's dealing with enough change as it is) finds itself. After 39 long weeks of pregnancy, we're on the brink of adding one more to the fold. Tricia had her final appointment with her OB this morning, and we are number four on the list of inductions scheduled for this Friday. Fortunately all signs are favorable for a smooth delivery (which is no doubt easier for me to say). Smith is head down, and riding low. There's still time for him to show up on his own, but if not, we (and by that I mean a trained team of medical professionals) are ready to provide a little encouragement. This is it. It's almost go time. In the meantime, we're about ready to crawl out of our skin. The months leading up to today seemingly flew by, but now these final days feel like slow motion. At the same time, we're cherishing this time with Sara James. Afternoons at the pool, pizza around the dining room table, and dance parties upstairs before a sleeping baby makes that a little more difficult.
We'll be adding pictures as soon as we're able, and keeping everyone up to date on those all-important stats (don't forget...I weighed in at just over eleven pounds!).
