The Latest Spa Treatment

I don't know if there is a yogurt facial out there, maybe Natalie has invented a new craze. We'll make millions! This was the Key Lime flavor. Usually the child can't gulp down yogurt fast enough. This must be her subtle way of telling me she doesn't like the flavor.

Let us Introduce You

Michael Henry James Telman was born on Thursday, March 20th at 8:23pm after a very easy labor. He weighed 6#7oz and was 18 inches long. He is healthy and we are so happy to have him here. He is in danger of being smothered with love by his big sister. She has an eye obsession right now so we really have to watch out! She is constantly kissing the top of his head and exclaiming "Baby" over and over. We are so blessed! More pictures and probably some video to follow in the next couple days.

The Near Future

Well, sorry I haven't updated in a while but we have pretty much been doing the same old, same old. A lot of sitting on the couch and a lot of contractions. We've had two more visits to Spectrum and labor has slowed down both times, so Michael is still baking! I had an OB appointment on Thursday and the plan is to do an amniocentesis on Thursday the 20th (that is where they take a little of the amniotic fluid out and test. There are a couple proteins in the fluid that have to reach certain levels for the lungs to be considered mature). If the lungs are mature they plan on inducing Thursday afternoon or sometime Friday. I really want to make it until then so we can have a nice controlled labor and delivery (instead of the get to the hospital at 10cm and pushing like we did with Natalie. Mostly, I want an epidural this time!). Thanks again for all your thoughts, prayers, and meals. We will keep you posted on the "Michael" situation.
