it's a fact

You're 14 percent more likely to give birth on a Tuesday than any other day of the week — and least likely to deliver on the weekend.

today is here

Well, today is the due date set according to the conception date.

We had contractions from 7pm-10pm last night about 5 minutes apart. We packed our bags, and went to bed fully thinking we would be woken up to go to the hospital. She had about 4 in the night that woke her up. So I am at work, waiting for the call. I have never seen her in that much pain, yet so excited at the same time.

the wait...

266 days will have passed this Wednesday, Feb 28th.

Mandy saw Dr. Tu today and everything is progressing great. Both of them are in tip-top shape. Things are physically moving towards labor, but officially it has not started yet. Thursday March 8 we will be induced at the hospital if Mandy does not go into labor before then.

7 days to go

Well, here we are with one week to go until our due date. It's probably going to be the longest week of our lives. This week seemed so far away last june. Dr. Tu said she won't let us go more than one week over the due date, so at the most we have 14 days until we see freda. Mandy's last day of work was Saturday, Feb 17 and she has been organizing and cleaning and hanging out around the house.

valentines day

253 days down, 13 to go. It is definitely starting to become much more real with two weeks to go. Soon my pregnant wife will be pregnant no longer, but will be a mother like no other.

Our partners in crime delivered their baby Simon George last week, re-affirming that this is not a test, this is not practice, this is life happening.

Simon George:

week 37

Congratulations! Your pregnancy is now considered full-term — meaning your baby is developmentally ready to handle life outside the womb. Your baby probably weighs a little over 6 pounds at this point and measures between 19 and 20 inches, head to heel.

doctor and contractions

Mandy saw Dr. Tu yesterday, everything is normal, nothing to report. There are now 23 days until we all bathe in the splendor of ms. freda lucia. Mandy had some rapid fire big contractions last night. Four in a half hour, then a couple aftershocks a bit later.
