Ha, it was good to get to have lunch with you, Kat. Thank you, also. Next year will be a great conference! It's really the only time I get to see my new family.

It's going to be a girl! We've decided (and there's always a chance we could change our minds) her name will be Harley Ariana

"and there's always a chance we could change our minds"


That would be a good trick, how's that done?

Have you ever seen "Trading Places?"

Just an update, Nola went to the hospital today for a checkup and another ultrasound. The doctor said the baby was doing great. The funny thing was, Nola said it looked like she was gonna have my feet and her nose. That's like a little troll. It's okay though, we'll have the smartest ugly kid alive, ha ha.

Hi Beau,

You are a witty guy!

I met Nola and she seemed to have a perfectly fine nose, I should be considered an expert in that regard considering the size of my schnoz.

On the other hand I seem to remember thinking "Sideshow Bob" when I saw the shoes on your feet, I guess you don't tip over easily! 

Happy to hear things are going well.

Peace,

Joe

Hey Beau,

I'm keeping you all up to speed today. Just the other day, the doctor said the baby was into position, a good size, and ready to come out. He also said that If my wife wants to induce labor over the next few weeks, that it would be fine and safe, so we can plan a day if we so choose. I might actually get to schedule a day off from work rather than running out in a panic, but who knows; God's full of suprises.

My how time flies for those of us who aren't pregnant.

I'm so excited for you both.

Lots of prayers for all of you.

Hi Beau!

Keep us informed on when the baby gets here. 
Congrats and let us know how DADDY is doing through it all....
What an exciting time for you all!

[UncleBeau]

You know, it occured to me that it's a detrimental step in my growth with God. I've been trying to be like him while forgetting that in order to even come close, I first have to experience being a father myself.....to know what a father is, what a father does, etc... Trying to become a man in His image without that is like running a race blindfolded. For those of you that already have kids, remember, they're gonna have to be parents one day too! It's good if they know why.

[UncleBeau]

I'm pretty sure today is the day. Nola's going to another doctor's appointment at 1:30 and we've got a 90% chance that they're going to induce labor. I think I'm more excited about today than anything else ever in my life.
I was thinking today...about many things in scripture that symbolize giving birth, being reborn, etc.... COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!! [Rev. 18:4] I told Nola she was the church, and when Harley comes out, when she "breaks forth and cries" [Isa. 54:1 , Gal. 4:27], She'll now be her father's. There are many labor pains before she can come out. But in a short time when the crying is over (and we finally except the truth) she opens her eyes, and behold a new creature! ha ha. Do we now understand?

[Deborah-Leigh]

Well said!

[UncleBeau]

Well, today obviously wasn't the day. The reason we were looking forward to today was that Nola's amniotic fluid index was almost low enough to need induction (under 5 for necessity and she was at 5.3), but today it had shot back up to 7, which was great because she's in immaculate health and incubating wonderfully. We just got excited and hopeful enough that we were a little let down; but we know she's ready when she's ready. The doctor's now looking at the 28th to induce unless little Harley decides to come out before then.
