During induction process Stacey was diagnosed with ” HELLP syndrome” .

This is a serious condition and luckily she was scheduled to be induced or it could have gotten much worse. Right now she has to stay longer in the Labor and Delivery area for closer observation. This is going to increase our stay a few extra days but better safe the sorry. Stacey has been on magnesium so this makes her real groggy and not able to do much…I guess this is why I am here J

Other than the above Stacey and Andrew are doing great and are making a strong recovery.

Hope to have more to report soon.

The baby room has finally come together.

Here is a nice picture of the Crib

Here is a picture of the crib and the nice car (matching the cobra that will be in the garage below his room)

This picture shows the border that wraps the room and some of the play stuff he already has.

The focal point for the room has to be this chair… I hope he likes red when he grows up.

I think this will be the last time I see this room this nice for a while, everyone is telling us it is going to be crazy…should be fun.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates

Well here we are at Week 37 already and the kid is already 7 lbs and 11 oz. Looks like he will be a big one
Stacey is slowly moving around the house and trying to keep her feet elevated (little swollen).

We had a sonogram on Tuesday and Dr. Apt on Wednesday. He is getting a little larger than the doctor would like in addition he is running out of fluid (??) So it looks like she maybe induced early. At this point Stacey is ready to get to the next phase (done being pregnant I guess).

Since the little guy is running out of room there is not a lot of good pictures to take with the sonogram machine… but here is a picture of his face.

Watch this space for more updates…. they would be even more often if I could get Stacey to do them.

We are entering the final stretch and had our last sonogram today. The little guy is at 3 lbs 10 oz already. He is measuring one week early…so maybe we might be getting in a little early

Here is a side view of him sucking on his arm… this is very cool

Here is a good picture of his face…

Here is another one of the face…

Well today June 10, 2004 we just had our “official” sonogram session. Stacey had the fun of drinking 32 oz of water and was told not to use the “facilities” until after it was completed…

As you can clearly see from the pictures it is a boy!

So now that I have a license to paint I have to assume I get to start tearing apart the room for the baby this weekend. I am still not sure which room it is going to be, but I have a feeling Stacey has her grand plan.

Stacey is measuring 19 weeks so she maybe due around the end of October…hopefully not the 28th :-)’

So now I will have someone to help wrench on the car when he gets older…

For those that have read Dilbert, Stacey hopes he does not have the “knack” as she believes engineers are born not made.

Anyway here are some more pictures; the quality is not good because the place we went to do not have a way to save to a disk…they actually looked at us weird for the request. Guess it is not a popular request here in Flower Mound
