I'm steppin' out with my baby

[Picture had to come down.... I think M's beautiful; she's less sure.]


Nine long months later and it's finally time. The docs are going to induce M on Monday morning at 8am. By the end of Labor Day (haha... irony) Baby McDowell will be in the world. We're excited and nervous... but mostly just ready for Monday to be here. Going to be a long day tomorrow. Family will start arriving (having divorced and remarried parents presents plenty of travel conundrums, but things are looking okay so far) tomorrow afternoon, so it'll be nice having them around, though I'm sure M will be bouncing off the walls with nerves and excitement.

Wish us luck. I'll post pictures when possible. Love to all of you who stop by here from time to time... all three of you.

Congrats to both of you - can't wait to hear all the details. =)

Don't know if you heard or not, but Clint and I are expecting a baby in March. Baby McDowell and baby Dietel-McLaughlin will have to get together for a "play date" (I think that's what they're called, but I'm still learning the parenting vernacular).

Congrats, papa. Post pictures when you can!

Congrats, Gary. Best of luck to you both, er, to all three of you.

We'll email soon, and maybe, some day, Scrabulous will be back up and we can continue our games.

I'm so excited for you, Gary. I've been following you on Twitter for a while (Flygirl) but I only check the blog every now and then. Glad to hear things are moving along.

Keep us updated and good luck this semester!! :)
