Not yet........

Well.....the ultrasound went well today . The baby has gained some weight, and he now weighs 6lbs1oz. That now puts him in the 11th percentile (down from the 23rd percentile three weeks ago), so they have scheduled for us to be admitted to the hospital on Wednesday (6-13-07) at 7PM. They will then give Julie some medicine to thin the cervix and they will start the Patosin on Thursday (6-14-07) morning at 8AM if labor has not begun yet. The baby is still healthy as far as they can tell. All test show that he is still moving well, good blood flow, and they saw on the ultrasound that he was doing his practicing breathing so everything appears normal, he is just a small guy.

Julie is still feeling great and getting around very well. We went for a walk tonight, and are really enjoying our time together before the baby comes, but we can't wait to hold this little guy, and welcome him into our lives. His big brother Winton is also very excited, although his biggest concern is that he hopes the doctors aren't wrong about it being a boy.

Love to all!!

Pictres of Winton from summer 2006

Thought everyone might enjoy seeing some pictures of Winton. These are from this past Thanksgiving in Kansas City and summer of 2006.

Birthday Update!!

Well, we are still waiting. Peanut has not decided when his brthday will be yet. We do have an ultrasound tomorrow on 6-11-07 at 2:45, and they may decide to induce labor if they feel he has not gained enough weight. So his birthday may be very soon. We will keep this website updated for sure so keep checking back.

Julie is still feeling great. Yesterday we went to an art festival in Lincoln Park (close to downtown Chicago), and did a lot of walking. Julie was a real trooper. Everyone kept saying she looked great and they could not believe she was as far along as she is. Lee has been making timed speed runs to the hospital testing different routes, and making friends with the local police just in case we need a police escort. In addition to everything else going on, we are loving having Winton here for the summer. He will be here for 6 weeks (until July 15th). He is looking forward to being a big brother and we are having fun riding the trains and seeing the sites here in Chicago.

I will give the answers to our interesting trivia questions on the 15th of June. You can check the questions out on our blog. I found an error on my computer that was not allowing some of my emails to go through and I also forgot to attach our website to the last email as a reminder.

Well we only know of one other person with a Blog (Kyle & Abby Warmington) so we are going to list our 5 random things about us and when you read them you can try to guess whether it applies to Lee or Julie. We would also love to hear random things about you guys, so after you read ours and guess, feel free to leave a comment with your five random things. We will tell you the answers for our random items on June 5th, so check back often to read everyone elses interesting/random facts.

B R E A T H E!!

He He He....Whooooo. Well, we are officially trained on how to breathe. Having this baby will be a peace of cake, all you have to do is breathe right?!?. HaHa. We just completed last night, the last of our three Lamaze classes. It was definitely good to learn what to expect and a good place to have our questions answered. We did have another ultrasound this past Monday to check on the baby's size and weight. The doctors were concerned that our projected due date did not match the size of the baby. After the ultrasound on Monday, they estimated that the baby weighed approximately 5 1/2 pounds. Everything else appears to be normal, so they are just keeping a close eye on us. We keep thinking, maybe the baby is just being nice to Julie since she is so small. We have an OB appointment later today and we will know better after talking with our doctor what the game plan will be. They had previously said they would not let us go more than 1 week past our due date. The day will be here soon, so we are taking every advantage that we can to sleep in. We love and miss you all and we will update with more information soon.

Way Past Due Pics

Well, an update for everyone has been way overdue. We moved to the Chicago area on the 1st of May. We are renting until we get some issues resolved with the previous contract we are trying to cancel. Julie is feeling very well and we are very thankful for a healthy pregnancy so far. We are about 4 weeks away from our projected due date of June 15th. We hope you are all doing well. Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know if you will be in the Chicago area.

Baby & House Update

Well, first things first, Julie is doing great and is starting to actually show that she is pregnant now. The baby, Pnut, is moving around so much. Apparently he thinks he is a rock star, because he loves to move to the music when we turn it up. The Glucose test came back normal, and the doctors are very happy with how everything is going. Well, we are just about 9 weeks from actually getting to hold this little guy in our arms and we are so excitied to be able to do that. Pnut's big brother Winton was in Cincinnati for Spring Break, so we were able to tell him about his new brother and that we are moving to Chicago. He is very excited to be a big brother and he is looking forward to being with us in Chicago over summer vacation.

We will have some pictures to update on the site soon.

We apologze for the delay in this update, but we have been fully consumed with trying to get our housing situation in Chicago cleared up. It is a very long story, but the short version is that we had a contract on a house, it was in the process of being built, the builder did not perform according to the contract and has refused to give us our ernest money back, so we are currently in a lawsuit with the builder to get our money back and the contract cancelled. Until that all plays out, we are going to have to put all of our stuff in storage, and rent a place until the lawsuit is settled. We have to be out of our rental home in Cincinnati by the end of April, so as of May 1st, we will be in Chicago (somewhere).

We miss all of you, and we will do a better job of keeping the site updated.
