Here’s the specs: Height 20″ Weight: 8.8 lbs. He was totally worth the wait! born 1:42am 6/26/09. Alls well!

Going out for quick coffee fix. No sleep till Brooklyn!
Edit: Yes that was a Beastie Boys reference!

Jude’s ETA 2 Hrs.
8cm docs are pleased, our reg OB coming on shift at 10pm she’s awesome. Rachel is happy.

The day the music died.
Twitter crumbling under flurry of posts re: MJ. Rach was 4cm @ last chk. Epidural went smooth. Alls well.

Thundercats are Go!

Doctor visit. Non-stress tests scheduled for Monday. Eviction paperwork is being drafted by legal. 🙂

Jude gets a tardy slip (almost)
He has still not arrived yet. We have a doctor appt. today so we’ll see what she says.

False start. Took Rachel to the hospital tonight, Doc says only 1cm dialated and sent us home *sigh*

All of our preparations are now complete!

now we’re talkin!

We are at t-minus 2 days and counting for little Jude day. I’ve been having contractions since early Thursday morning, but nothing substantial enough to get checked into the hospital (though we thought they might be and headed over Thursday night. They sent us home.) Anyway, I was doing okay with the waiting, until when all of a sudden I was having contractions which got me hopeful that all this would be over sooner than later. I’ve heard so many stories of first time moms being two weeks late or so. Yeesh, two and a half more weeks to go! Let’s get a move on here! Anyway, Kevin’s been awesome, staying close by me so we’ll be ready to go whenever we are finally ready. We’ve got the car seat installed and inspected by CHP. We’ve got the bag packed and loaded in the car. We’ve got the camcorder and the camera with batteries charged. We’ve got directions to the hospital saved in Kevin’s google maps on his phone! We are READY to GO!
