Just a Few Days Left!

Hello All -

Well, the end is definitely in sight now. If I'm not born by Monday (10th), my mom and dad are going into the hospital Monday night to start the "process." On Tuesday morning, mom will be evaluated, and if things look good, they'll start labor and I should be born on the 11th! We'll keep you posted, but everyone is feeling great, including Dad, and we're all anxious, nervous and excited.
The Update on BS at 39 weeks along: Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
Just wanted to share a couple photos of my great-Gram to be, and mom. Great-Gram and Gma Carol came up to visit last night....they brought home made cookies and cinnamon rolls...awesome!
Can't wait to meet you all, in just a matter of days....ahhhhhhhhh!

Love, Jake, Celest and BS


Great-Gram Catherine gave this angle and snow globe to BS...very special.



Great-Gram and Gma Carol say they can "finally" tell that I'm pregnant!
Only took over 9 months, ha!
