LOVE!

What a surreal experience from top-to-bottom! I'm so proud of Katie for everything she went through yesterday, and as if anyone doubted it, we're both totally in love with our daughter! She's the best and is getting cuter by the minute!!!

Gotta get back to the hospital because I miss them already! Georgia comes home tomorrow (hope she likes her gender-neutral room)!!!!

Mission Accomplished!

Georgia Cecilia Lee
8lbs9oz
Born 6:31am October 26, 2011

Mom and Georgia  did wonderfully and are both  doing great!

Day 3- 3:30AM

My beautiful wife is now dilated 9.5cm, so once the contractions look right she's going to get pushing!

It's a rude way to be rousted from your slumber- pushed out of your warm bed through a pretty small opening only to see Aaron Lee looking you in the face! poor little bugger! They'll learn to love me!

More soon!

Day 2- 9PM

We're in for the night! Baby by tomorrow if all goes well.  Katie has had her water broken and is going to be put on 'the drip' which will force her into labour. She's been absolutely outstanding so far and is going to do very well tonight!

More news when we have some!

Aaron & Katie

Day 2- 6:00PM

It looks like GO TIME!

Contractions have started and have been going about 3-5 mins apart for about an hour. At the hospital the doctor told us that everything was starting and for us to go for a walk, enjoy a quiet dinner, and do multiple repeats of clap push-ups. Not true about the clap push-ups, but we'll be going back in soon to get the little piker our and find out if it is a he or a she!!!

We both hope this is the real deal... All signs point to parenthood!

Day 2- 3:00PM

Hi Again,

No advancement so far today so we're going back to the hospital shortly to try an alternative method of being induced. With any luck we won't be home again until there are 3 of us! Thanks for all of the calls and messages so far; we're feeling the support!

Wish us luck!

Induced- Day 2

9am: contractions stopped around 230am and Kate slept well.  I feel as though we've cried wolf a few times already!

As usual, it doesn't seem as though this baby wants to come out so we're just having another nice day at home.

2:00am

Being induced seems to have started working- Katie has been having some contractions for quite a while now and is doing her best to get some sleep. Looks like we might be in for a bit of a restless night!

6:00pm

Home again! Kate was 'induced' and now we're home relaxing waiting for things to happen. Worst case, we'll go back in tomorrow afternoon and they try something new if this doesn't work.

She's doing very well and is just a little uncomfortable right now.  First babies always take longer for pretty well everything, so we're settling in and are going with the flow.

More to follow (hopefully soon!) -

4:00pm

just got into a room and are told that a doctor will see us soon to commence the induction process  not holding our breath, but who knows!

Should have brought magazines...

11:45am

still aiting for the DR to come and start the induction process... then we'll probably be sent home to wait for everything to get started for real

Everyone is doing great (and one of the doctors was just in NL and is from Halifax) !

HOLY SMOKES!

Oooooooh yeeeeeeaaah! Just got the call and we're headed to the hospital in 5! I suspect we're in the middle of one of those 'hurry up and wait' scenarios!

More to come!

Baby? What Baby?

Once again today, no news whatsoever.

We'll be waiting for the call tomorrow for Katie to be induced, and then the fun can finally begin. Lots of visitors this weekend at the Lee household, which has been great.

We're making the most of what's left of our non-parent time: went out for a great meal last night with Mike, Gill, Krissy & Steve, and have a whole lot of nothing planned for today. Kate is doing very, very well, and we've now got our heads around the fact that he/she will make an appearance sometime tomorrow or the next day (if all goes to plan).

Looking forward to making introductions soon!

D-Day + 1 Week

We had a precautionary ultrasound this morning and came to find out that he or she is doing great but is still not ready to come out...

We did learn that the baby is a real bruiser at 8lbs 8oz already (however she did state that this is often an overestimate), so we'll have a real cutie when he or she decides to leave the 24hour buffet they're at inside of Katie!

Same as yesterday, we're hoping something happens before Monday, otherwise we'll be getting the call for Kate to be induced.

Last Dr's Appointment

Hi everyone,

We just returned from our last appointment before junior makes his or her appearance and all is going well. Things are getting moving slowly and everything seems to be alright. One final ultrasound tomorrow morning, and then if there's no action by Monday... Hello induction!!!

Monday also happens to be my mother-in-law's birthday so if we have a kid on her birthday, do we still have to buy a gift? Seriously...?

1/2 Price Wing Night?

DDay +4

Well, it looks like junior has no intention of showing him/herself anytime soon, so I'm thinking that 1/2 price wing night might be in order at the Clocktower! Maybe we'll turn it into a bender especially if you-know-who doesn't want to meet everybody...

I don't know if babies in utero get reverse psychology, but I'm giving it a shot! Nothing else seems to be working!

More updates to follow!

Daddy's Got Money On Today!!!

We've got a pool going on baby's arrival date, sex, and weight... I picked today, so come on baby! Daddy needs a new pair of cycling shoes!!!!

We're trying all of the 'sure-fire' ways to get this process started, but as it has been turning out, the only sure thing is that we'll be waiting a bit longer-

Maybe tomorrow...

Then and Now

Amazing what can get done in the run of 9 months when you set your mind to it! Picture #1 is minutes after Kate told me about our impending arrival, and Picture #2 is baby's room as it looks right now! Hope to meet them soon!

Turkey-Induced Labour?

Not entirely sure, but maybe Junior will decide to make an appearance after Mom drives some dindon into her!

If baby is like Dad, he/she'll be here promtly on the 14th. If on the other hand baby takes after Mom, it's going to be late for sure! Time will tell! Happy Thanksgiving!

5 Days and Counting!

Just 5 days until the due date and we're on the patio enjoying some freakishly warm October weather (27 Celsius) and enjoying out last days as DINKs! Mom-to-be is getting along famously (as always) and Dad-to-be's stress levels are (as of now) in check!
