The Weigh In.

Mama couldn't believe how much he weighed!

Thanks for praying for us. We will try to post more pics sometime this evening once we get settled in the new room.

so much for twiddling...

Nurse just came in to measure and she's fully dilated which means she will start pushing soon. The next post will be after the birth! see you on the other side.

twiddling our thumbs

Since the last update we've both had naps, but nothing really to report. We're literally just sitting here waiting and y'all aren't missing anything. I'm reading the book, "Humility," by Andrew Murray. I'll leave you with a quote I've been kicking around as I wait.

"Brother! nothing can cure you of the desire of receiving glory from men, or of the sensitiveness and pain and anger which come when it is not given, but giving yourself to seek only the glory that comes from God. Let the glory of the All-glorious God be everything to you. You will be freed from the glory of men and of self, and be content and glad to be nothing."

1, 2, 3, 4...

Again, so proud of my wife. She's amazing.

Goodbye Toes!

Well the epidural has arrived and Mandy's toes are tingling. Mandy faced the needle and came away a more peaceful woman. Although her direct quote was, "I fear this part more than the delivery." We should have another measurement here soon, so i'll try to update. She's doing an incredible job. I'm so proud of my wife and can't wait to meet this little guy.

**SPECIAL NOTE**
This is not an actual picture of Mandy...we do not know this person or the anesthesiologist.

making progress

Dr. Fanning just stopped in and Mandy is almost a 4. He broke her water so things should start to escalate. For those of you new to the world of labor & delivery. 10 is the magic number.

A Pretty Special Day

It looks like Griffin is going to share this day with some pretty special people...
