Yesterday Jude was born, our first child. He came in at a healthy 8.0 pounds and 20 inches. He was an instant hit with all the nurses, and especially his grandparents. His dad took a few hours today to come home and take care of a few things around the house, among them, share some …

10 Days Remain
The C-section is scheduled for the morning of April 2nd. So, in no more than 10 days, Andy and I will have a baby to love and take care of. It doesn’t seem real. I am still half expecting to go into labor one of these nights and have the baby on the way to the …
Protective Mother
Even before I read the story of the woman who posed as a nurse and kidnapped a newborn baby from a Texas hospital, I had made up my mind that our baby was not going to leave the sight of me or Andy during our hospital stay. I have always been a worrier and I’m …
His Birthday
Our little guy’s birthday has been scheduled for April 2nd. However, there is a good chance that he’ll come before then. I learned yesterday that the contractions I’ve been having for the last 5 days or so have caused me to dilate to 2 cm. Another contraction woke me up at a little before 6 …
31 Days Remain
On Monday, the delivery date will be scheduled. At this point, it looks like it will by scheduled for April 2nd or the end of March. So, at the most, 31 days remain. It is terrifying. The good news is that we are all ready to roll. We’ve now either gotten or purchased everything we need for …
7 Weeks and Counting!
In about 7 weeks (or less), we’re going to have our baby. The whole thing is still unbelievable to me. I really wish I had see-through skin so that I could see the little guy and believe that he’s really in me. I thought it would sink in my head when he started moving around. …
An Early Appearance?
Now I’m really glad that I’ve been on Andy’s case to finish up the house projects because we learned at my doctor’s appointment yesterday that our son may make an early appearance. I really didn’t want to have a March baby, but now it is a real possibility. The following are the main things we have …
Our Son’s First Name
I won’t tell you WHAT his name is. But, I will tell you HOW WE CHOSE his name. Andy and I printed a list of the 1,000 most popular names from the social security website. We didn’t want to give him a popular name, it’s just that there really aren’t too many names to choose …
Countdown Begins – 11-1/2 Weeks and Counting
We are now only about 11-1/2 weeks away from the birth of our son (assuming he doesn’t decide to come early). The time is going so fast and there are still many things to get done before he arrives. His room is painted (thanks to Andy, my dad, Andy’s mom, my mom and my aunt …

Our Squirt’s First Outfits
Andy picked out the first two outfits for our little darling. They are white onesies (in newborn and 6-month sizes, I think) that have the logo for his website, www.echozoe.com, on them. Crazy to think that in 3-1/2 months our baby will be filling out the newborn outfit.Â
