Good News

After our appointment yesterday I am happy to say that Jake did the required fliparoo and is no longer breech. We are now scheduled to go in to Labor & Delivery at 5:00 am Wednesday morning to be induced! Hopefully things will progress quickly and we can become a family of 4 before the day ends. I will update the blog with the news of his arrival as soon as I get a chance...could be 2012. Ha.

Family Pictures

Below is what happens when a family of squinters tries to take pictures on a windy day. The pictures turned out great, thanks to my sister, however please note that my entire family DID brush their hair before hand.

 

Baby Buskirk Update

As of last Thursday we are scheduled to welcome our little boy into the world on March 2nd. It was apparent in our most recent U/S that this little guy doesn't want to come out easily...he is breach. Per our doctor's recommendation we are scheduled for a C-section on the morning of the 2nd. To add to the fun she also told us that he is going to be pretty big. Three weeks ago at our U/S he was already weighing in at just under 7 lbs. They are going to do another check this Thursday to see his position and then they will check again that morning. If he does do the flip we need him to do then they will go ahead and induce us rather than surgery. I have my fingers crossed. One way or the other our little guy is going to arrive March 2nd and I couldn't be happier. We are so ready.

Now for a much belated picture...here is little mister Jake Buskirk...and as you can see we finally decided on the name.
