39 weeks...with some NEWS!

Hi everyone! Well, it's 5 am and I've been up since 3 am, because my water broke! But, no strong contractions yet. From what I read, labor should begin within the next 12 hours. Active labor, that is. I really didn't think it'd happen like this. I thought the water would break along with painful contractions...but I'm new to this and everyone is different.

Funny thing is, just about 6 hours ago I was at a dinner party at our friends' house (Colleen and Matt) and I was sitting on a birthing ball to try to help get things moving. Maybe it worked?!?! So I am in a bit of shock right now...Justin was able to go back to sleep since this really isn't active labor yet and I am in no pain currently. But it is now definite that we will have a JULY BABY!

This blog is about to get a lot more exciting!!!!

Yay!! We were just driven out of Yosemite by a wildfire, but were delighted to get home in time to hear the happy news. We are all on pins and needles to see pictures and learn the name. We have already discussed it at length, and have determined that EVERYTHING sounds good with Sorenson. Breathe!! "hoo hoo hee, hoo hoo hee."

You're about to embark on the most amazing journey! There's no looking back now!
And always remember that you've got an extended family just waiting, with baited breath, to teach him the ways of the world. What a joy this little guy is going to bring to all of us.
Happy Birthday to you :)

Yes, where are the pictures? You should be blogging from the lobby or a nearby Starbucks or something! Blog, dammit!

OK, clearly what this blog needs is ERIN. Come home and blog while you nurse, because Justin isn't keeping us current. PLEASE, Erin, come home...
