Well in the hustle and bustle of everything in the last few days I forgot my camera at the hospital last night. I have a few shots here from when he first showed up Friday morning, and promise you I will have plenty more tonight! So in the meantime, here are a couple tidbits to keep you wolves at bay! Lots of love, stay tuned!
A Thousand Words
My Little Blueberry
Well after what seemed like forever our little bundle of joy has finally arrived! It has definitely been a long haul, and we appreciate the support from everyone! He was born this morning July 24, at 1:28am, weighs 6lbs 13 oz, and is 19in long. Normally I could go on writing forever, but quite frankly I'm at a loss for words right now, which if you know me is a first! Right now Momma is at the hospital with baby and recovering, so that's where I'm going right away! Thank you all once again, it's been wonderful! I'm sure this place may get lost in the mix for awhile, but keep checking back, there are plenty of pictures to be seen! Welcome to the world, my little blueberry!

Waiting For Worlds To Collide
Holy smokes, you'd think a guy as obsessed with his unborn child as myself would have the time to sit down and write about him every once in a while! Yeesh! It has definitely been awhile, and I apologize, again, a million times, however those of you who have been keeping track know very well (as some of you have been here before) this is the most hectic part of pregnancy. Complain all you want about the rainy weather lately, but on this end, cool temperatures in a usually sweltering summer, are a blessing in disguise. If she's happy then I'm happy! So, that said, let's get down to business.
If you've been lucky enough to see us over the past few weeks, you would have probably have noticed Momma is somewhat bigger than what you would expect for the end of week 36. To the dismay of some, we are not having twins! Four ultrasounds have been performed, and each one confirms there is only one little guy in there, not two, three, or god forbid more, there is just one! I'm happy with that, not only for the fear of going grey by thirty, but I'd hate to leave for work every morning, knowing Momma is at home with two or more poop factories. One is enough. Myself not included, of course!
With one little guy on the way, he is on schedule according to a fetal assessment taken a couple weeks ago. Although the results given by the hospital didn't really give the doctor much to work with, in her opinion, we should probably be shooting for closer to the end of July. I'm sure if you've seen Momma recently, you'd agree! Momma had an appointment with her doctor this morning, and she has reported back that Blueberry should be somewhere around seven pounds by now, and that Momma is only dilated by about a half centimetre, so he probably won't be showing up for awhile yet. On the plus side, after tomorrow, we've cleared the final development stages and are good to go whenever he is. In Momma's case, the sooner the better!
In my case, it doesn't matter, he'll show up when he's good and ready, and I'm okay with that. If he wants to come sooner, he will. If he takes after his Dad, he may very well be late. For Mommas sake lets hope he doesn't. If he's seven pounds now, and he does come when we first guessed, he's gonna be a big boy! Either way, I have to sit and wait. Which is fine, but it will be so much nicer when he can actually grab my fingers, instead of just pushing back. So close yet so far away. Waiting for world's to collide!
