We are happy to announce that Genia will be having the baby sometime in the afternoon on Monday, November 24th. At our last doctor's visit, he suggested that we go ahead and induce labor early Monday morning, and we agreed. It'll be nice because all our family was able to make plans to be here as opposed to us calling them on short notice as we got to the hospital.
Naturally, we're excited and counting down the days and hours. As I think about seeing our little girl for the first time, I hope that she'll look like Genia, and I've been looking through some of her baby and little girl photos. Here are a few of my favorites.
Congratulations! Praying it all goes smoothly.

Posted by: Christin at November 21, 2003 03:06 PMThanks everybody. Hopefully, if all goes well, I'll have some baby pics up on the blog by Wednesday at the latest.

Bailey was born a day early. She was born Sunday, November 23, at 4:09pm. She's 7lbs 8oz and 19 inches long. Both Genia and Bailey are doing fine.
John, on the other hand, is walking around like a proud father!
Posted by: Craig at November 24, 2003 08:15 PMCongrats on your little girl!! You will love having a child, a girl especially. At first I wanted a boy, but now I know that I am more fulfilled than I thought I ever would be having a daughter in my life! You will understand the love of God like you never could have before!
