7 pounds 4 ounces!!!!!!!!! No we haven’t had the baby yet but the doctor told us this morning that this should be his approximate weight. They did an ultra sound and full check up and Lauren scored 8 out of 8 on all the tests and the doctor referred to her pregnancy as “the perfect pregnancy.” For those of you who need a reminder Lauren’s due date is Aug 6th but she has been having contractions since 7/17 and the doctor predicted that she would have the baby a week ago so Lauren is pretty anxious. She has been dilated to a 3 for the last week. She wakes up every morning and walks 3 miles and at night she eats anything spicy. From Wendy’s spice chicken sandwich to extra wasabi with her sushi she is trying everything.
I on the other hand, as of late, have found it very easy to engulf myself with work and not even think about the baby. I have had emotions ranging from throwing up to being so excited I can’t sleep. Mostly I just rub feet and fetch food to fulfill cravings. This is the craziest type of anticipation I have every felt. Now more than every am I grateful for the person I married and the mother she will soon be.
Now I will catch you up on all the other happenings. Over the 4th we were able to sneak away to DC to visit our good friends Burton and Janaya. They recently moved to the DC area and it was great to see them. We are excited to have them so close. This was my first time to DC and it exceeded my expectations. I loved seeing all the monuments, memorials, and museums. I was surprised by the deep reverence and respect I was able to feel for my country and its history while walking around such a busy and populated city. On my way home I tried to figure out why I have such a desire to travel to foreign lands when we have such amazing places here in the United States that I have never been to? I guess we will have to kill a lot of bugs and do both!! Anyways, since our little get away it has been nothing but work work work. The business is doing well and we are continually pleased with our decision to come out here to North Carolina. Hopefully in the next week or so we will have great news and pictures to post. Joey
