Final Weeks!

With the estimated birth date being July 24, we are under two weeks away. Dominic, at this point, seems to be very comfortable where he's at, so we're not expecting an early debut. I, on the other hand, am finding it hard to even bend down! I feel I have been very lucky in pregnancy ...everything has been very tolerable, so I can't complain much. Definitely ready to return to a non-pregnant state at this point though! Of course, above all, Leo and I are both just very anxious to meet this kid!

We have been very busy with "baby-prepping", but we have found some time to do other fun stuff as well. Leo completed his fourth 14,000+ ft mountain, Mt. Bierstadt, on Saturday with his colleague, Mark. That was after celebrating Lisa's birthday with sushi and bowling on Friday night! On Monday night, we are going to be watching Office Space at Red Rocks as a part of their summer movie nights with a big group of our buddies. Fun stuff.

Something fun for you all as we sign off, a "date and weight" poll! Put your guesses for Dominic's birth date and weight in the comments section. The people who are the closest in each category will get a little something from us and the little man :)

A couple pics of the belly fresh from the new camera (Nikon D60) :)

Suzi, you look great! I am so happy that the pregnancy has been good to you! We are all so excited for you and Leo! Dominic is a very lucky boy. Have you attended classes, visited the hospital maternity floor and packed your bag?? How is Lucy doing?? We will be there in spirit!

The "link" is not working for me.
My guess: 7/24 (you were born on your due date) and 7lbs 4 oz.
Jean's guess: 7/28 (would you think otherwise??) and 8 lbs.

I'm going with August 1st...I think the little guy's gonna be a procrastinator :)
And because he'll be a week past his due date I'm guessing he'll be 8 lbs 3 oz. - still 5 oz short of his mama, ha ha!

Since the best day to be born has passed, July 14...he will be born:

July 30 at 7:30 AM, weighing 7lbs 30 ounces.

Now Suz...we are going to need you and Dominic Stewart Meli to hold on tight...if the doctor temps you with drugs to induce, you refrain from that urge...until July 30th that is...
