It is Wednesday

Well as you can see November 28th has come and gone and still no baby. Dr. Fisher has now scheduled (with our reluctant permission) an induction on December 7th at 5 am. Now our hope and prayer is that baby comes before that time. However, should we have to go through with the induction it will be done very different from last time and Dr. Fisher is convinced that nothing like the nightmare that took place before should occur. We will keep you posted. Thanks for your prayers.

Prayer Request

Everything is going well with Ellie and the final days of the pregnancy. Steph is progressing steadily, but slowly and it could be anyday now. We just wanted to ask for your prayers as Steph's due date (Dec. 2nd) approaches. Dr. Fisher let us know that going much past a week to 10 days past the due date is unsafe since the placenta begins to deteriorate and in some cases stops functioning all together leaving the baby without any of life's necessaries. This all means that should we get close to the due date, Steph will have to be scheduled to be induced. Sounds simple, but last time with Lizzie the induction went horribly wrong and we both vowed to never go there again, so this would be a very scary option for us (Steph especially). Our prayer request is that Ellie decides to come on her own before we even have to think about scheduling an induction. The next appointment is this Tues. Nov. 28th, at which time we will reevaluate.

Times Up!

Well thanks to everyone who put their guesses into the baby pool for Ellie. We will keep you posted as new info arrives and will of course post the winner, post the birth :-)
It has been lots of fun seeing everyone guesses as they have appeared these past few months. For Steph's sake we hope some of you are more accurate than others!
Thanks again.

Hurry Up! The Deadline is Almost Here!

The deadline for the Ellie Baby Pool is fast approaching. In fact you have 3 days 1 hour and approximately 23 minutes until all guesses must be in or risk not being counted!!!!!!!!!!
Leave your guesses in the comments. And if you have forgotten the rules (or have yet to read them) you can find them here.

Tired

Steph was cleaning Lizzie's old car seat (will be Ellie's) and Lizzie thought she would climb in. Guess she was tired. :-)

Pumpkin Patch, etc.

Update and reminder

Lizzie's creativity is starting to show. Just now she grabbed her Disney princesses book bag of sorts (thank you Uncle Bubba and Auntie Karen), said "Bye-bye" and headed for the door. She intentionally went out of my sight... and after a few moments, came back into sight as though she had just come back from a trip. It's pretty dang cute.

As for the reminder: don't forget about the baby pool for Ellie. Deadline is November 15. There's still quite a few folks who haven't thrown in their guess.
