Abbie's due date (the 17th) came and went, and still she's probably only dilated to 1cm, so it appears that Finn has decided to be fashionably late to the party! We've finished all of our nesting, and are simply waiting for the big day. Abbie's last day at work was Oct. 10th, and has been enjoying her days off since. I go to work knowing that my cell phone could ring at any time and I'll have to drop everything and make my way home and then to the hospital. It is also likely that Finn will not be an indecisive Libra but instead a stubborn Scorpio, based on all available data! I'll be outflanked here in the homestead, but that's perfectly ok with me. Otherwise there is little new to report. We wait and we wait. If Abbie hasn't gone into labor by Sunday the 26th, her OB will begin steps to induce.
The picture above is of course the baby room. I can't take much credit for this; Abbie did most of the shopping and decorating. You can see that my suggestion for a life-size Cal Ripken poster was rejected, but still, the room looks great!
PS - we want to thank everyone who has sent us and Finn their thoughts, wishes and trinkets! We are so thankful for such wonderful family and friends!

Dear John, Abbie, and Finn:
Thank you so much for doing the blog, especially for your loving family separated by airplanes. We can't wait for the numerous pictures to be posted, and are looking forward to coming and taking my own pictures. Too bad my digital camera memory only holds 1550 pictures at a time.
Love, Grandma Janet
Dear John and Abbie;
This is such a neat idea!
I was reading Wordsworth today,
"The world is too much with us, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours..."
But today, I am thankful for the technology that allows us to share your excitement and anticipation.
Abbie, you certainly have gone beyond the "How-is-this-anatomically-possible?" stage!
We wish your reluctant occupant decides to enlarge his abode very soon!
Love, Grammy Carla
