To those affected by a heart defect:

Things are heating up.

We’ve received another report from the hospital. Grandpa pa J reports this time. I have copied his report from the comment to this post so that everyone can see it.

Things seem to be heating up but on schedule. Here is what Grandpa pa J reports:

“It is I once again. Received an update from Dad, that would be Havens Dad (Jeremey). It is now 4pm and there is some activity developing. Besides mild contractions Haven seems to be doing well.
We are in hour six of the twelve hours needed for the inducing process. We will continue to keep you informed.
Later. “

Stay tuned!

Let the races begin!

We received our first report from mom and dad at the hospital!

This morning at around 9:00am they began the first steps in inducing labor. The doctors say everything is working out fine but it will take a little time to ‘prep the engines’ – so to speak. So while mom is dilating dad is patiently sitting by cheering her on.

Things are going as planned so far, and they said thank you all for your support. Check back on the blog this evening and throughout the week for more updates.

Countdown to Haven…

December 9, 2006 at 6:57 pm by Mom & Dad

Well, it’s Saturday evening and the expectant mother is feeling great.  No contractions or other signs that tell us we should be rushing down to the hospital.  We suppose that we’ll be heading in on Monday morning as scheduled.  Of course, once that’s published on the blog, Haven will decide she’ll be ready tomorrow!

First Post!

Hello!  It’s Friday night and we’re anxiously awaiting Haven’s arrival.  We are scheduled for an induction bright and early at 8:00am on Monday morning, the 11th, unless of course she decides to make her entrance (or her exit?) earlier.  In which case, we will be driving to downtown Indianapolis sooner.  That’s ok, though, because the car is packed and ready to go any time.
