Who is who?

So I think Jack looks a little bit like his dad. I actually see the resemblance to this picture of Matt more in real life than in any of the picture we have. He does have my thumbs!

Happy Birthday Jack!

So he's finally here! I am uploading pictures for a slideshow as I type this. I started the induction process wednesday night and started contractions around midnight. They got bad around 3-4 am and I have never been so grateful for modern medicine as I was around noon when I got my epidural. We both (or I guess all three of us) got through the rest okay. The ob/gyn delivered the head and then Matt got to do the rest of the delivery and cut the cord. Little Jack is perfect and getting cuter by the minute. He came out with his eyes wide open and barely cried. He stayed very alert and just looked around and studied faces. He discovered his lungs last night, which I guess was bound to happen. He weighed in at 7lbs 11oz and is 20 inches long. He has lots of red hair which shows up in some of the pictures. We're home now and doing well, just trying to figure out how this whole parenting thing works so we'll need lots of advice!

It's time!!

My due date is today! We went to the ob/gyn and not much has changed in the last three weeks or so. The plan is to start the induction process tonight rather than drag things out another week. So...if all goes well, I should be giving birth sometime tomorrow! We'll post pics when we've got 'em.

Coming soon...we hope.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Jackson. He's due on the 20th, but we're hoping he decides to make his debut a little bit sooner, especially as his original date was yesterday. Everything is ready and my last day of work was today. I think people were starting to wonder if I was ever leaving. One of my patient's commented today "if he doesn't come out soon, he'll be born with teeth and a mustache."

Okay, I'll give it a shot...

So I guess we no longer have an excuse for our bloglessness as Matt's sister created this one for us. I'll try to keep it updated, but this kind of thing has never really been my forte.

hi matt and mindy

I made a blog for you so you can post pictures of the little one.
