She's Here

I'd like to introduce our daughter, NGK, born November 13, at 11:20 am weighing 8 lbs. 12 oz, and 21 1/2 inches long.
The induction on Monday didn't produce much progress, so we tried a different angle with another medicine overnight Tuesday and it did the trick.
We're headed home from the hospital within the hour and are excited to start this new adventure.
Baby, mommy, and daddy are doing well. If you would like the link to her blog site with tons of pictures, send me an email.

An End Date

Well, we know she'll be here no later than Monday, Nov. 12. We set-up the induction for then, and unless something happens beforehand, which we're hoping it does, that's the big day. It's nice to finally have a definite end, though I must say I was hoping it would be a little sooner.

Here are some pictures of her nursery, though I use the term loosely. It's still half an office and CDK is selflessly sharing his closet with her (it also doubles as our photography studio). Since we're in a rental, no painting the walls, and we obviously didn't pick the carpet. We'll be out of this house in a few months, so then we'll put to work our real decorating skills and make the nursery just like one we saw in the Pottery Barn catalog! We must thank the generous grandparents to-be and great grandparents to-be for help furnishing the room. Her place is ready, now if she would just hurry up!

Patiently Waiting, for now *Update*

*UPDATE* We will go to the doctor today at 4pm and see what's going on with little Miss K. I think we will make some definite plans for induction, based on what the doctor has said previously. While I know induction is perfectly safe and normal, please pray that this happens naturally.

So the day came and went as expected. We had a doctor's appointment this morning, and I'm progressing, but as he said it's unpredictable. So far, I'm still fine with that.
Four good things about missing the due date: 1. Her birthday won't be on Halloween. 2. CDK made it to his job interview last night and didn't have to cancel. 3. The furniture finally came in and we're picking it up today. So, we'll get to set-up the nursery tonight, yeah! 4. Now that I have been to work during November I get my full months worth of sick and vacation accrual that I'll get paid for during my leave.
Random, but I just noticed that the counter is stuck at 1. Well, we know that pregnancy isn't eternal.

I'll keep you posted!
