Max is the first baby of our good friends Iwan and Sara. He was born July 14th, and arrived 8 weeks before his due date. He was 4 lbs. 8oz and a whopping 18 inches long. He is still currently at Mary Birch Hospital but is doing great. Teri got to visit him and Sara today.

I’m still pregnant so this baby is officially past due. The due date was yesterday, June 30.
While I told myself over and over again that being late was a real possibility, I never actually believed it. I was early with both Jaxon and Tyler and I just figured I would be with this baby too.
The good news is I won’t stay pregnant much longer. As Dr. Salzetti so eloquently put it this afternoon, if the baby doesn’t come on his own tonight or tomorrow, he’s getting evicted on Friday.
I had my 40 week 1 day appointment this afternoon and my body has actually started to progress all on its own which is a good sign. Since week 36 I have been dilated to a 1 or 1.5cm and remained there, but today I measured at a 2.5-3cm. While that doesn’t mean that I am going to come before my scheduled induction on Friday morning, it does make me happy that at least my body is heading in that direction.
So hopefully, the next time you hear from me, I’ll be sans baby in the belly. Most likely we’ll give an update from the hospital so check back.
Family life is full of major and minor crises -- the ups and downs of health, success and failure in career, marriage, and divorce -- and all kinds of characters. It is tied to places and events and histories. With all of these felt details, life etches itself into memory and personality. It's difficult to imagine anything more nourishing to the soul.
