Finally, it's sold!

In May of this year, I decided to put my condo up for sale. I knew that Tina and I were going to be together, and that this was a good time to look into selling the place. Well, after a turbulent summer and nerve wracking fall, we FINALLY have an accepted contract offer. The original offer was for our asking price, but they want 6% seller consideration. Which basically means they want us to pay for all closing costs and incidentals, up to 6% of the selling price. We had to adjust the final sale price, and the deal was signed by both parties. Most of you, I'm sure, understand what a burden off our backs this is. Closing is tentatively scheduled for November 25th, but that looks like Thanksgiving to me. Granted, we definetly will give thanks for the sale sometime soon, but that day will be spent giving thanks to God for the love we share and for our new family.

The Countdown Begins!

Our final baby check-up before Friday's surgery has been done, and everything looks fine. He is healthy and ready to go. Mommy is too. We spoke with the doctor about a few things, and he reassured us that everything will be just fine. He also said that visitation is up to our discretion, so we'll see how we're doing after the procedure is done. It takes about an hour to complete, and from there we go into the recovery room. We will start making phone calls when Tina feels up to it, so that everyone knows what time is good to come by, if you were planning on it. Keep your fingers crossed for us! We'll see you soon, all three of us.

Wedneday's Cephalic Version Results

We arrived at Christ hospital at about 2pm on Wednesday, October 20th. We were there to have a procedure done called a Cephalic Version. It's a procedure used in the attempt to move a breech baby into a more natural birthing position. In this case, our baby is frank breech(head up and butt down). If you'd like more information about the procedure, click here.

The procedure, which was attempted for all of about five minutes, was not a success. The doctor tried as best he could to move the little guy from his spot, but Logan was in a position that made it too difficult. Though the doctor was poking and prodding her belly like she's never felt before, Tina was strong and tough throughout the procedure. She did a wonderful job. Just as she's done through the whole pregnancy.

So unless we can get our son to move within the next week or so, Logan will arrive via C-section next Friday, October 29th. The appointment is for 9AM, so he should be seen for the first time about 5-10 minutes later. However, we are both a bit apprehensive about the surgery, so any thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

So now you know when the big day will be. We will probably have to let everyone know when a good time to come up is, if you planned on doing so. We will see what the docs say about visitation and stuff, and post another blog after our next appointment, which is Monday morning. Logan says "See you soon, everybody!"

The Poll results are in!

I know we've done a terrible job of keeping the blog updated, but we've been incredibly busy lately. Doctor appointments, baby showers, and lots and lots of painting have had our complete attention. We wanted to share last month's poll question results with you.

Given Tina's large 7th month belly, how much do you think Logan will weigh at birth?
With a 26% vote, it looks like you think he will weigh 8.5 pounds! I can't tell you how happy Tina was when she saw that! Most of the voters said he would be over 7.5 pounds, and that appears to be right on. The last sonogram we had, Thursday the 8th, estimated that he is now 6lbs 6oz. Check out the newest poll!
