Haven James Rising

wow! everything has gone into high gear around here! I just got back from a cruise around the Caribbean (San Juan, St. Thomas, St. Maarten), and when I arrive… I find out that Melissa’s water is a bit low, and the doctor is talking about inducing next Tuesday! We’re really excited to meet Haven, and apparently he is too! He was originally due April 1st, then they changed it to March 13th, and now February 24th!

Mom and baby are both doing fine…Mom’s on bed rest, we listened to his heart beat and had an EKG done on Monday (everything’s good with his heart), and we’ll be going in for another ultrasound this Thursday. The doctor says though that if the amniotic fluid is lower during that ultrasound, she will most likely induce that day, so we could be meeting Haven even earlier than the 24th! *YAY!*

He’ll come when he wants to come. Meanwhile, I’ve been scrambling around getting all of what we need together, as we figured we’d have another month to do all our shopping! I spent about 6 hours at Babys-R-Us… and got 5 carts full of stuff! One of the clerks said ‘is all this stuff yours?!?’
