New Blog for Elias Updates

I mentioned in the post below that we would be providing updates on our blog regarding Elias' birth. We have created a new blog though, that is specific to Elias, that we will be using instead to provide you with updates. The blog address is eliasward.blogspot.com

So please check there for updates on Monday.

So we went to the doctor...

We visited the doctor Wednesday morning, and the plan at this point is to have Natalie come in on Monday (July 28th). Unless something changes we will be going to the doctor's office, and then we'll be off to the hospital to begin the inducing process. Our understanding is that we will try that Monday, and if needed, Tuesday. If we do not have a baby by then, we will need to do a C-Section. I am posting this for all of you now, so that if everything goes forward as planned on Monday, you will have an idea of what we are anticipating.

Using my new iPhone (and the free wireless at the hospital), I will be updating this blog throughout the day (or days) to keep you up to date. This will be the best way to stay in the loop (as I am assuming it will be difficult to call everyone). So check back here for updates...and please keep us in your prayers!

July...so far

So, I'm sorry that we don't have any pictures (we actually have some, but I am too lazy to upload them)...here is the rundown of what we have been up to in July.

house work, church, school, doctor visits, fourth of july fun at the lake, fireworks, volunteer appreciation cookout, found out that we were going to induce labor on july 28th, found out that we may not be inducing that early, had a 3d ultrasound and got some great pictures of elias, multiple baby showers, demolition derby - joel did awesome, three rivers festival, more fireworks, powers hamburgers, date nights - only a few left, indiana north district conference, new cell phones - we waited in line for a couple of hours for the new iphone, planted some grass, landscaping, baby laundry - all the new clothes, cleaned carpets, organized garage, rearranged bedrooms, trying to soak up as much natalie and tyler time as we can before our lives change forever

p.s. elias' birth is definitely getting close...we will keep you posted.
