About our blog

This blog began as an attempt to keep our family and friends included in the adventures of little Baby Blakely until he made his appearance in the world. Now, this has become a gathering place for all of our various adventures as we continue to enjoy time as a growing family.

3 Weeks and Counting

Baby Blakely is predicted to make an entrance into this world just 3 short weeks from today!  We went to the doctor yesterday and got a great check-up again.  Contractions have picked up some which have apparently been effective, because I am now at 2 cm dilated.  BB's head has gotten even lower which is making me even more uncomfortable.  But, Dr. Lucas is happy with the progress and still expects we will be right around our due date.  We received more great news that I am negative for the Strep B test, so no IV with antibiotics during labor and delivery for me!

Lions, and chicks, and games...oh my

             As you all know, this is a blog about our adventures on the way to parenthood. Occasionally, we go a bit off-topic to talk about some things that seem relevant or poignant at the time. Well, strap in folks…here we go again.
