Modern Congratulations

Hi Elliott!  My baby countdown widget tells me that there are only 17 days left until you arrive!!  Let's see how accurate that is.  I went to the doctor a few days ago and they told me I was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced.  You haven't moved down much, so you are probably still around -4 station.  We could meet you anytime now!!  We are so excited.  Chris said the other day, "I am getting so excited to meet him (you)"!  We all are.

Your grams has lost it, she is so excited.  When shopping for some things for you, she rode in the backseat with your car seat.  She exclaimed that she was pretending that you were already out in the world, in the car seat.  She kept her hand in the seat the whole ride.  At one point she even got nervous when she looked over and saw that you weren't there, because she had been using her imagination so well!  Don't worry, grams isn't completely off her rocker, she just loves you so much already and can't stand the wait any longer!

I wanted to record the text messages I received when people found out that you were a boy, so I thought I would use this blog to remember them:

Katie K: Yay!! I kneeeeew it!  I can't wait to start buying boy $hit! (excuse her French)
Faith: Hooray!!!!!!!! :)
Becky: Yay!! Congrats! So happy for the both of you!  Chris said, "Finally! We need a flipping boy in this family!!"
Julie K: Omg so awesome.  I was talking about u and ur due date last nite! CONGRATS 2 u 2!! Boys rock!
Katie: OMG today is the 30th! Ah! Congrats! I thought so :) in other new additionish news but not nearly as exciting I got a new car! Your news is way awesomer. All healthy and good lookin too?
Jenn Khunn: Hooray!  I'm so excited! Now OP and I can get going on some crafty treats.
Jenn Huffaker: Aww!  I'm so happy!
Aunt B: Oh Boy!!!!!!!! That is what uncle whiskers kept saying when my water broke with Nick always brought a smile as we thought he was a girl . . . . . oh goodie a boy :))
