2 weeks to go :)

The pictures just don't say enough about how we are feeling and how amazing this whole process has been. Melissa is really progressing well and the doctor is indicating that we may have an early bird on our hands. The due date is December 7th, but it could really be any day now. Melissa is already showing signs of early labor. The hospital bag is packed, our cell phones are charged and ringers are on high...we are just waiting for the call from our little girl!

The baby room (see picture below) is more complete now than it has ever been. We are really happy with it and are only now working to complete the window treatments. I enjoy sitting in the rocking chair and taking in the peace and quiet...for now.

We are truly blessed to have so much support from all of our family and friends, and we look forward to sharing our little package with all of you soon.

Love Melissa, Robert and....

5 Weeks

Just outside the 'Red Zone' (sorry for the football analogy, but my Ducks are #3 in the nation...cut me some slack) now with under 5 weeks to go. Melissa is happy, she is feeling fine and the baby is doing well. We toured the hospital two weeks ago and we are slowly learning what our roles are as the delivery day gets closer. We are really lucky to have access to a world class facility here at CPMC.

The house and specifically the baby room are coming together. We have a painter coming on Saturday to finish what we started and we are picking window treatments. The room is filling up with the gifts which have been unbelievably generous. This baby is going to have two of everything an infant could ever want. Melissa is standing next to the new crib in this picture.

We will be posting more as the weeks move on, maybe more often since the time is running short. We want to again thank all of you for your love and support.
