Well, we had another appointment this morning. Amy is 100% effaced (same as last week) but is now up to 3 cm dilated and Gus has moved to +2 station. So, what does that mean. . .it means the circumstances are right, but Gus is going to come out when he's finally ready and not a second before. Our midwife says we'll probably deliver sometime tonight, but she also guessed last Tuesday that we wouldn't make it a week to today's appointment. I guess that's the way it goes...you just never really know. Every woman is different and so is every situation, so the best one can do is make an educated guess.
A few things I do know. First, Amy's contractions are coming more frequently and they're certainly different than before...along with being stronger. Second, our little time bomb is taking Amy on an emotional roller coaster. Everytime she thinks we're close, things slow down. She's frustrated, so pray for her if you have a second.
So, that's where we are. We'll let you know when we have something definite. Since we don't have any pictures of the little fella yet, I've pasted some of our first few pictures with our new camera. I had a little time this past weekend to take some shots. Thanks to everyone that pitched in to help us save up for this!!! We'll reward with you plenty of baby pictures sometime soon!

praying for you! your experience sounds a lot like what we went through almost exactly 3 years ago. seems like a rite of passage for the 1st kid for many of us. of course you know this, but it's SO worth it all. soon you'll be holding hin in your arms. cant wait to meet him.
i'm praying for you guys and thinking of you often. amy, it was fun to read your top 10 things you're looking forward to. it'll be here before you know it.
maddie's over so i'd better go make sure the girls are killing each other.
I was glad we could have dinner with you last night Scott! Hope Gus's birthday has either come or is very soon!
