For those of you following, we can sense your support. Seems a bit silly that we 'blog' this momumental event, but we love to journalize our thoughts and our experiences, and we thought this would be a fun way for family and friends to follow, so why not?...
We checked in to Rose Hospital at 7:30 this evening after an anxious day. On the way here, and having heard from so many of you that Heather should eat a big meal before checking in, we went to Smashburger for Heather's favorite burger in town. We slathered our sizzling patties in smash sauce and sipped our shakes; giggling and gazing, pausing and hurrying. Here we were having this perfectly normal dinner, but this wasn't dinner and a movie - this was dinner and a baby.
Comfortably checked into our room in Labor and Delivery, Heather and the baby have been getting monitored and advised by various nurses and I'm happy to report that my wife and soon-son are doing great! Heather's blood pressure is good, the baby's heartbeat is strong (avg. 130 or so), his head is down and he's in good position.
As much as we have planned for this baby, we couldn't have possibly planned for the breathless moments of certainty that today's anxious clarity brought us both. Tomorrow's uncertainty is the thrill that knows we must rest. Night, night all... wishing you all a blessed night...
until tomorrow... Love, Dave and Heather
The Bacon Family Blog was started by Heather and David Bacon in 2008, so that we could have a central place for friends and family to enjoy our heartfelt writings, favorite pictures and amazing experiences, especially those involving our children!
