Down To the Wire

See this little hole here?



It wasn't enough for Jen to see our addition through it. NOOOO. She needed to experience the addition. So, what does she do? Wait for the hallway hole to be cut?



No.



My wife climbed through this little hole, just so she could take a jaunt around the addition! Truly, it was exhilarating and terrifying, all at once. Unfortunately (or fortunately, according to her), she hid the camera first, so that this event couldn't be chronicled in picture form



Afterwards, we felt that an additional picture was warranted:


Jen wishes to let everyone know that these studs are on 16" centers, so she's not as huge as you think she is.

So, we went to get an ultrasound last week, because of our tendency to make Large babies. This one is no exception! In fact, at 36 weeks it was measuring 39 weeks, 6 days. It is currently estimated at 9 lbs, and this fact combined with some mild hypertension means that we're planning on inducing Jen next week. So, unless plans change, our absolute outside birth date for this one will be next Wednesday. The truth is, however, that Jen could pop at any time!

We will, of course, update as soon as we can with further developments...stay tuned!

I felt it my duty to inform everyone that this picture is obviously very old, and Jen is much larger now than she was when this picture was taken. :p

(Heehee. So fun, the liberties that can be taken as a good friend of hers. Well, at least I WAS one until this comment...:p)

Thanks, Do Re...

I invite you to come stand up here between the studs so we can get YOUR picture! :)

Actually, the picture is less than a week old! And yes, I do still fit!
