Getting closer...

Jack,

Your mommy had a doctors appointment today and she was dilated to 1cm. She was 75% effaced and you are at zero station. Basically that means you are on your way out!!

We are very excited indeed and cannot wait to see you in a few days. Your mom is anxious to meet you and I have been telling her that she should not get overly excited because you might be another week or two yet. I don't think that is going to help though (and secretly, I am excited too, but don't tell her!!). You just need to come on out!

We went on a walk today with your Aunty Joann and your cousin, Austin. That was fun, but your mom's ankles swelled up pretty good ("cankles") and so she was hurting a bit! Austin is getting ready to walk. He is pulling himself up on things now, so he is raring to go and should be walking soon.

We told your grandparents, too. Papa and Nana were very excited! Grandma and Grandpa were also very excited and are sending over yet MORE clothes. Your mom is having a baby shower tomorrow night from her work, and finishes for good in a few days. I am going to tell Grandpa Date and Alyxx today!

Right, now hurry up and come out so we can meet you!

Love,

Dad
