One Day and Counting

We go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon for a quick appointment and to finalize the induction plans (timing, hospital room availability, etc.). There are a few wild cards that could change the plans, but we're scheduled as of now for an induction on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Mom and baby are doing just fine - just time for the little one to come meet the world!

Coming Soon

We had our 38th week doctor appointment a few days ago and learned that we're making progress on Calla's arrival! The doctor said Calla is very low and that it could be another week or she could come tonight - you just never know. The good news is that she is healthy and will be here very soon! We're scheduled for an induction on Dec. 2 or 3, if she doesn't come this week for Thanksgiving. We can't wait to finally meet her...whenever it is!

Man Shower

Todd's office threw us a "man" shower today for little Calla. They showered us with very thoughtful gifts - including our nursery swing - over a fun BBQ lunch. The party was complete with the most precious cake decorated in Calla's nursery colors.

Look how far we have grown!!!!

Elizabeth and I were sitting here reminiscing and we decided to post "Before" and "Now" photos....Can you tell which is is before and which is now?

Doctor Visit

We had our 37-week doctor's appointment and received a "perfect" bill of health, according to the doctor! Calla's fluid, size and position are all great. And my blood pressure was low...so healthy in fact that the nurse (she's new) asked if I was an athlete. Hah! It made my day! ;)

We also had another sonogram just to check size and positioning. Baby Calla is already 6 lbs, 9 oz. The doctor is predicting her to arrive around 7 1/2 pounds.

We couldn't get a great view of her face since she's taking up so much room in there, but we saw her hands up by her face and two chubby cheeks!

We're going to the doctor weekly now. Although she could come any day, he doesn't have any reason to think we'll go early. So, we're likely looking at early December.

We're ready here - the nursery is complete, clothes are washed, diapers are everywhere. Even the Christmas tree is up and decorated! Counting down the days...we can't wait to meet her!

Shower Time

HCK2 Partners threw us a fun, duck-themed shower at the office, complete with a chocolate, pink and white diaper cake to match Calla's nursery!

Family Visits

Over the past few weeks, several family members from both sides of Elizabeth's family were in town for separate work events. We met Uncle Tim and Aunt Georgia for dinner on a chilly night in Dallas. A few days later, we met cousin Tommy for dinner and then the Mavs game!
