One more day

Well if Karen doesn't go into labor today (Wednesday, October 21st) then we go to the hospital Thursday morning at 7am for her to be induced. She was already 3cm at the Dr visit on Monday so being induced shouldn't take too long. She had a pretty strong contraction last night so things are progressing. That baby is really moving around in there, I thought it was gonna wiggle its way out last night for sure!

We are gonna do some walking, yoga squats, and other old fashioned remedies tonight to see if we can get the process going and maybe she won't have to be induced, but we will see what happens.

We will keep you all updated with calls and texts.

We are ready for you baby!

Here are some pictures of the baby's room. Its hard to beleive this summer it was a loft filled with mnt bikes, road bikes, snowboard, surboard, books, TV ect. We had lots of fun as we got the loft closed in and decorated. Thanks to all who contributed, we are blessed!

Now come on baby!

Still No Baby Trone

No Baby Yet!
Karen is due on Thursday October 22nd & she is feeling great. I thought last night was it but turned out to be the result of some peanut butter ice cream on top of some salmon and veggies mixing to create methane. She is getting over a cold and feels better today. Her fall break is now over so she says she is ready any time. She just wanted to make it through break so she wouldn't use any maternity leave while she was off. The nursery is ready, the bags are packed, and I think we are all set to go. Thanks for all of the advice from everyone over the past months and we will be flooding you with pictures and updates as excited new 1st time parents very soon.
Love,
Greg & Karen

Maternity Pictures

Another teacher at Karen's school is an aspiring photographer and asked if she could practice on us by taking some baby belly pictures. She was just great. Here is her blog and the pictures of us that she took. Thanks Bethany we just love the pictures and are so glad that we will have these for after the baby arrives. You are already a PRO!

36 Weeks

Well another great visit to the OB today. Karen is dilated 1 cm, the head is down, but the baby has not started to descend, so it looks like she is gonna make it past 37 weeks. All is just great here.

I am especially appreciative of Karen after today's doctor visit. There were 2 ladies in the waiting room who seemed to be complaining just for the sake of hearing themselves complain. Karen, although I know she is very uncomfortable at times, just doesn't complain. She says she is lucky to have had such a good pregnancy, but I am the one who is lucky, because I have her.

We are getting more excited all the time, we are feeling ready, and can't wait to meet baby Trone. It won't be long now. We will keep you all updated. More pictures coming up soon.

Love, Karen & Greg

35 Weeks

35 Weeks

Less than 2 weeks to "full term" & less than 5 weeks to the due date.

We are so excited!

We have been to both of our classes at the hospital and know what to do on the big day now.

Karen feels good looks great, the doctor just loves her belly.

He says she has the best belly he has ever seen & I agree.
