Matthew is now at 41 weeks along, and so our doctor has decided he's ready to meet everyone. We're at Loma Linda now getting checked in, who knew having a baby would require so much paperwork? The doctor was able to check to see how Michelle and Matthew are doing, but said since this is our first baby that the whole process takes on average two days! She estimated that he is around the upper 7 lbs mark, so he should be of good size. before we left the condo we took a couple of pictures to show Michelle at her maximum belly capacity (her words not mine). They currently have her on medication to ripen the cervix. They have to apply it every four hours. Hopefully we can get some rest tonight, so that Michelle will have plenty of energy for when the tough part begins. Fortunately, we have a private room, which is also the room we will be delivering the baby in. They have a chair that can fold out to a bed, and I'll be sleeping by Michelle's side all night. We'll keep everyone posted if there is any more major developments.

Lots of love,

Bobby, Michelle and Matthew
