An Update on Bob

At 38 weeks, Mom's doing well and has been quite a "trooper." Given her propensity for delivering her babies early, we're expecting Bob to arrive in approximately 10 days. But who knows?

All the baby things are prepared, and all we're lacking is the baby! Ravel thinks that we set the bassinet up just for her.


On Tuesday, the midwife came to check up on Mom and set up the tub. Mom's having a water birth, which she is very excited about! She really likes her midwife, Nicole, because she takes such a personal interest in her "patients." Why, on Tuesday, she was at our house for no less than five-and-a-half hours! We all had a wonderful time visiting with her.

Everything else here continues to go on as normal ... well, almost normal.

I like the violin concert in the tub pic! :)

To be completely honest, I was going to take a picture of Shannon just sitting in tub (which I did), when Leslie added the violin "for the effect." Quite effective, don't you think? : )

I hope you're doing well, Mrs. Shepherd, and we're curious about whether your new baby or Bob is going to come first! It might even be a tie! ; )
