Almost There!

Hello everyone...

I am sorry for my lack of participation in this joint blog over the last several months. Those of you who know me well, know that I am not the best multitasker, and it seems to be an unsung rule of physics that when one new major event with new demands appears in life, the demands in other areas (like work) will increase at the same time.

That being said... I cannot adequately describe how excited I am to meet Finn in this blog. He kicks up a storm now every night, strong kicks, sometimes three at a time all at different angles. I can hold my hand on the spots where he is pushing and actually feel the roundness of the foot as he pushes back. I am so eager to interact with him, and to see his first smile and the first time he recognizes things and interacts with the world.

The midwife told Austin this week that she is 2cm dialated and 70% effaced and that he is in the right position so things could happen at any time. She even said it was 50/50 whether she would make it through the week. I am really ready and Austin is even more so. :-) Overall, she has been uncomfortable but things have been going really well.

I will try to blog at least once in the week after he arrives. Keep your thoughts and prayers with us.

Kevin
