Jonah has arrived!

Baby Jonah Ethan arrived on August 11th at 11:28am! He is truly amazing and Mommy and Daddy are in such awe of him. We are learning so much about each other, watching him grow quickly already, and trying to get our rest when we can. Here are some beautiful pictures of our little man. We have so much more to write about soon!

2 weeks!

Dear Sweet Baby Boy,

Two weeks to go and now we are playing the waiting game. At 38 weeks you are still gaining body fat and should be around 19+ inches long. Your grasp is strong enough at this point so that you can hold Mommy and Daddy's finger as soon as we see you :). Your body is technically ready for the outside world, though I don't think your quite ready yet. It seems that you are very comfy in Mommy's belly and I don't blame you!

At our doctor's appointment yesterday, your heartbeat sounded great and the nurse practitioner checked to see if Mommy was dilated at all, but I'm not yet so the waiting continues. That's perfectly fine since we still have 2 weeks until our due date. Just stay warm and comfy and keep growing healthy :)
. Mommy and Daddy are continuing to get our home set, trying to relax, and spending as much time together as possible. We know we need our rest now! I have also been sitting in your room a lot rocking and reading to you, it's so peaceful. Keep up the great work, stay healthy and strong! We love you very much!

Love,
Mommy and Daddy

I finally have some new pictures to post of my belly and of your room! Everyone's been asking...

Check out the monkeys, we never expected them to be so big but....I hope he likes them as much as we do! :)
