C-Section

Sprout,

Where to begin… The last few weeks have been exiting! Michelle and I have had your room ready for a couple of weeks. We have been working on building your little furniture set, and getting all your clothes unpacked from your Texas cousins, Hanna, Emma, and Mia. You have lots to wear! The Docs at Boulder Women’s Care say that you are going to be quite large, and we have scheduled a C-Section for Monday morning, January 14th. You will probably be born at about 8am. It has been a well informed, yet difficult decision – we wanted to experience a natural birth, but trust that our care-givers have the best in mind for you and Michelle. It is so odd scheduling a baby… We have been focusing for so long on getting through labor, and now have the opportunity to bring you into this world with no fuss or stress – pampered – just like we thought you might be!

🙂 Michael

Happy New Year!

Sprout,

Happy New Year! It’s baby month! Michelle is getting rather large, you must be growing fast! You are just all over the place, rolling and kicking… Incredible! A few touches to your room and we are ready! Michelle is healthy and happy – what a woman! I love her. She is going to be a wonderful Mommy.

Getting Some Sun

Sprout,

Thought a lot about you today. Felt you kicking and moving this morning and evening. Michelle and I took Mercy for a walk over in the open space, and you got “sunned” while walking back. Michelle has a little belly-burn tonight! Watched an animated movie tonight, and we laughed that we would be watching a lot more…

Baby Shower

Sprout,

Your Shower was great fun! It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon with warm sun and wonderful friends. We laughed, we played games, we talked about you, and we all wished Michelle and you the best when you arrive. The food was great and the cake was beautiful, as it slid off the tray into Michelle’s lap… 🙂 Michelle and I received a lot of great things to help us get ready for you to come. If you only go eight times a day, we have diapers for a month! We’ll see how many times a day it really is… You have outfits, a bath tub, a car seat, toys, blankets, fuzzy fleeces, hats, and socks, and lots of love! Thank you, to everyone that came to wish us well!

Michael
