Alexander James Bird

.......getting ready, getting psyched......


So here it is, Wed 2/24/10 and Tabitha is being induced the next day. She is SOOO ready! They arrived at our house on Wed evening to hang out and spend the night just in case the little guy decides to come on his own(not likely)...before he is forced out. We had a fun evening....
watching "Mean Girls" (I'm guessing we would not have watched that movie if we were expecting a girl to be born in less than a day...wouldn't wanna jinx the little princess).

After the processing...we got down to serious business of playing Monopoly Deal...where Tabitha whipped us all:) We had to stop occasionally to let her breathe thru a contraction once the "Pit" was started. I have no clue how to un-underline on a post.....


sorry you can't eat, Tabitha, but we're hungry so we are going to go down to the cafeteria and eat...don't have the baby before we get back! haha (she didn't, but she was having the epidural when we got back...don't have pictures of that, thank goodness!!!)

beautiful view from the window....Tabitha, this is for you since you weren't interested in looking out the window....I mean you were busy having a baby and all~~~~~~~~~~

*******pause for non-picture-taking activity in the deliver room and******

3 pushes and there he is.............
