Well, it took him a while to get here, but...Baby Featherstone has arrived! It was a long night, and Erin had to go in for an emergency c-section, but everything is great with mom and the baby and now we're all trying to catch up on some rest.

He's huge: 10 lbs 6 oz, and 22 inches long! Our doc said she has no idea how that baby was hiding in there. Here are a few pics, with more to come later. It's time for a nap...

I think I look pretty cool in my blue OR suit here, especially considering it was 4am at the time...

Halloween 2008

We dressed up as Juno and Bleeker for our Halloween party last night.

It's the last time I'll get to show off the belly, as tomorrow at 12:30pm we're scheduled to be induced. Wish us luck!

No baby news yet...

Two days past our due date. Still waiting...

Friday night hangout

We headed out for some Indian food with our friends Payal and Kapil last night. We made sure to take some pictures to capture on film how big baby Featherstone is getting.

Shower time

Last Saturday Connor and the partners club had the cutest shower for me at Connor's house. I love my partners girls.

And then last night Heather & Whitney hosted one at my house. You girls are the cutest. Thank you to everyone that was there. It was a blast!

Baby showers are the best! Thank you to everyone who was there.

Call it a late-night study break...

This made me laugh. Hopefully you will, too. Enjoy!

Getting closer

We're now at full term. We know he is coming soon, but I have a feeling he'll be late. We still have a few things to do, like pack the hospital bag and figure out how to install the car seat (yes, I know, very important things that we've been delaying). We finish up our classes this week. We had one tonight but I got a migraine so we had to reschedule it. :(

As promised, here are a few belly pics for our fabulous mothers. We can't wait until you'll be out in Chicago.

We love baby Featherstone!

Party week

This past week we hosted two major parties. For our church we had our big International Dinner (as Mike and I are the co-chairs of the Activities Committee). Here are our friends that kept us company at the registration table.

For the Chicago GSB Partners club we had our big welcome back party (as I am the co-chair of Social Activities). We had CPK cater it, and it turned out that so many partners came we had to call CPK back and have them send more food! I missed my co-chair Payal as she was still touring Europe. But the rest of the partners club leadership really pitched in and helped out.

The one thing I regret is we didn't take ANY pictures!

He keeps growing...

Last night on our way to the gym downstairs I had Mike snap a picture of my growing belly. We think Baby Featherstone must be having fun in there since he's moving around so much!

My new project is going to be sewing bedding for the crib. My friend Heather helped me find this cute fabric. My grandma is making the quilt, so I figure a bumper and a bedskirt shouldn't be too hard...(gulp)...

Back in Chicago

We are back in Chicago!

It took us a week to get unpacked and moved back in, but we're happy to be back. Mike's school starts Wednesday (he starts earlier than most since he's a LEAD facilitator this year).

Chicago is beautiful and SUNNY. It is a welcome relief to our grey rainy summer.
