Les Jones: Melissa is Delivering on Thursday

Home Life > Melissa is Delivering on Thursday

Melissa had another checkup today. Everything looks good. The ultrasound shows a healthy, 8 pound, 6 ounce baby that's head down in the pelvis, like it's supposed to be.

Last weekend Melissa said she thought she'd have the baby by Friday, and she was right. She's had flu-like symptoms the last few days, and Allison says that's what happened right before she had Angus.

Because the baby is so big, the doctors are going to induce Thursday morning. Melissa isn't very dilated, so it might last through Friday, though we're hoping for a quicker delivery. Right now we're wrapping up a few loose ends, making phone calls, doing laundry, and a dozen other things. We're keeping busy, but we're calm and happy.

Oh, and the hospital doesn't have Wi-Fi. I asked.

Got the email last night. Melissa's warning about your blog was priceless.

Congratulations a day early, guys. Even if you are a wingnut, you'll be a great dad, Les.

Yeah, Melissa said she sent an email to her friends telling them to check the blog for updates, but told them to ignore my embarassing Republican rants. :-)

If you've got a copy, I'd love to see the verbatim quote.
