Still waiting...

Our due date was on August 3. Today is August 7. This is not the blog entry where we introduce you to the newest member of our family.

We're certainly not worried, nor all that anxious. We realize that the first kid comes later more often than earlier. But in the weekly appointments leading up to the due date our doctor said several times that he didn't think we'd make it to our due date. So we've been anticipated the kid any day now for more than a week.

We had a regular appointment today and discussed the next couple of weeks with the doctor. We have elected to take it slow and let nature take its course for now. We have an appointment on Monday to have an ultrasound performed to make sure that Nikki and the baby are healthy and fine and check up on the ameiotic fluid and the placenta. All indications are that things are great. On Friday, we have an appointment for the Non Stress Test, which will measure contractions and give us more information on the baby's heart rate.

So, worst case scenario is we get additional pictures of the baby before its born. Best case scenario is the kid is born before Monday.

Thanks to all of the people who are thinking of us and anxious for more news. We just don't have a lot of news to share.
