...yea, yea, yea...we've gone too long between blog postings. We are aware. We have had a busy 6 weeks since the last update (house shopping in Atlanta, packing up as much of our house here as we can, preparing for Chandler's arrival, Josh's two-week tennis tournament and finalizing all the details on the home purchase).
As the little counter on the right side of the page will show, we are past 40 weeks. My due date of April 1st came and went with no progress. Since then, there has still been no progress, except for me being more uncomfortable. We've tried all the old wives tales on how to get this boy out of me, but none of them are working (hence why they are called tales). He definitely is trying to create his own due date.
As of last week, the ultrasound showed him at 7lbs, 5oz, so he is average size (not too big or small). The doctor decided to give me about another week, but here we are on 4/6/11 and still no progress. So, I will check into the hospital tonight to start the process of inducing labor. Our doctor went through the process, but I will spare you the details. Needless to say, if all goes well, CLH will arrive sometime tomorrow early afternoon.
We have been blessed to have mom (Glenna) and "Baby" here with us since March 26th. They have been a huge help with packing, cleaning and putting together all of Chandler's necessities (pack-n-play, stroller, glider, etc.), which you can see "Baby" testing out below. We really appreciate their willingness and ability to come down for several weeks. At this point though, we are all ready for Chandler to get here to maximize the time we have help. Josh's parents are flying in tonight and will be here for his arrival as well. Dad is in China right now, so he'll be down to see his grandson sometime later this month.
So, with all of that said, CLH should have birthday of 4/7/11. It's pretty neat in a few ways since 4+7=11 and my birthday is 7/11. We are very excited to meet him and can't wait for all of you to meet him in the near future as well.
We'll try our best to update the blog more frequently with pictures, etc once he arrives. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for us over the past 9 months. We have the best family and friends anyone could ask for.
Here are a few pictures since our last update.

Parker has a new best friend, but he's not sure about all the changes going on at our house.
Door wreath for the hospital that Aunt Claire made.
Out for a walk, trying one of those suggestions for getting him to come out.
