So far, So fast....and it's just the beginning







Some attempts at artsy 39 week belly photography....


At my last dr's appt, I had an ultrasound and the baby is doing fantastic weighing in at 6lbs 10oz with a 15% variance. Adam and I are doing great, just excited to get the show on the road now that we're over 39 1/2 weeks. It's hard to believe that we could go into labor, finally meet Baby J and be parents at any time. It's been a very interesting ride with a lot more pregnancy bumps than either Adam or I expected, but I have a feeling that when we see two tiny eyes looking up at us and we finally get to see and hold our baby it will all be worth it in a way neither of us can comprehend until it happens. We can't wait!!! Excitement, nervousness, curiosity, wonderment all cross our minds constantly. The entire process is incredibly amazing and inconceivable at times and we haven't even got to the labor/delivery part. We've received so many emails, texts, calls and notes from many of you with your well wishes. It's so heart warming to know how much everyone is thinking about us at this time. We can't tell you what it means to us. We and Baby J are very lucky indeed!! While the waiting isn't the easiest now that I'm officially on maternity leave, hopefully very soon we'll be holding our baby and sharing him/her with you......amazing!

Hi there: You are looking good.
Seems that kid is in no hurry to make his/or her debut.
Now is when they test your patience. Hope the delivery is quicker and much easier than the
whole pregnancy. Hang in there and
just know we are all anxious for you both and will be waiting for that call.
All our love,
Elayne and Les

Hey Elise, I've been reading your blog. It's so cute. I can't believe you're almost there! So exciting. I've been meaning to call you and tell you all about my experience. It didn't turn out the way we really wanted, but everything turned out fine and baby Mario was born on April 25th. I will try to give you a call this weekend. Wishing you all the best...~dominique
