Ask and you shall receive. . . a picture of B changing his first diaper EVER while still at the hospital. It couldn't have been more perfect - 3 in the morning and poopy! He's a pro now. You'd never know he was a rookie. He's only been peed at once since coming home. It's hard to believe that N will be 2 weeks old tomorrow.

As for B and I we are getting along just fine. N gave us 2 four-hour-long stretches of sleep last night. (We're not complaining.) I'm learning the reason that you get at least 6 weeks off work after having a baby. I always assumed it was so that you could just spend time with your newborn, but I'm learning that you don't just bounce right back from having an 8lb 9oz baby!!!!

Call day is tomorrow!! We'll let you know what happens. You can listen online at 7 or look at the list after 9 to see where we're headed. www.csl.edu

It's been a while but not without reason. We are happy to be at home with N B. He was born Tuesday, April 11th at 7:43 pm. He was a BIG boy at 8lbs. 9oz. and 21 inches long. He is both happy and healthy and not too much of a crier. B and I are both adjusting and have been blessed to have had B's mom here for the past week. We will miss her today but are glad she'll be back for a couple of days next week.

Our next been event is coming on Tuesday. We have Call Day service at 7pm and should find out where B will be assigned for his first pastoring job. Time is flying!

FINALLY! No, the baby isn't here yet. I am officially done with the school year though, and that is a great feeling. I woke up this morning not wondering how I was going to keep student X away from student Y, who I was going to bug to watch my class while I run to the restroom 17 different times, and how many times is student Z going to run out of the room today.
The new challenge is keeping myself occupied. With so much to look forward to, time sure can slow down when you're home alone. It's like waiting to go on vacation as a kid! Maggie is making her best attempt at entertaining me between her napping schedule. This morning she put on a show for me as she tried a grape for the first time. It had fallen on the floor, and I figured it couldn't hurt her. It took her several minutes of putting it in and out of her mouth before she finally decided to bite it. She just wasn't sure about the new texture and shape of it.
So when is the baby going to decide to come on out? What do you think? Tomorrow the doctor is going to set up inducement for the 11th, but B and I wouldn't mind him coming a bit earlier. We'll see what happens!
