Baby Time :)


Before I get to the Baby Stuff...

Here are the pumkins that Crystal carved on Halloween. I had a pretty good one carved of a cat, but Frank pushed it off the porch and ate it.

Go figure...
Well, Halloween has come & gone, and November has found us inthe Women's Hospital preparing for the birth of our little Angel, London!

Yesterday (Monday, November 3rd) Crystal went to the doc for her weekly checkup. Since her feet were still swollen from water retention, Tanya wanted to do an ultrasound to find out the condition of the baby to see if she would be ready for induction if need be.
Well, lo and behold, our little Chunky Munkey already weighs in at around 8lbs 13oz! This is at 38 weeks. Tanya informed us the the risk of a C - Section if we let the pregnancy goto 40 weeks would be higher if we did not go ahead and induced now. So, last night, Crystal and I enjoyed a quiet meal of Spaghetti and Steak & Cheese from Mama Gina's take out (our favorite) and went to bed.

Here are a couple pics of her just before we left for the hospital this morning:
OK, let's get some perspective. Below is a picture of a 9 pound largemouth bass:
Crystal is brave...VERY BRAVE!
So, here we sit in the hospital room, waiting for our little booger to arrive.

Isn't she Beautiful!
We also want to send a "shout out" to Mary Culbreth, whose birthday we have ruined by birthing our Baby on the day of her party.
Whoops!!!...:)
We Love You, Mary!
