Emily's Arrival - Part 1 (6:37am)

Well, we are sitting here in the waiting room….. Waiting…. We were supposed to arrive at Memorial Hermann hospital at 5:30am today, but we got here a little bit late. Upon arriving we found the waiting room already populated with other couples anxiously awaiting induction just like we were. After checking in, we settled in for what hopefully is a short wait while they get our room ready. Emily is kicking quite a bit, so we think she is as excited as we are to meet her mommy, daddy, and big brother.



To recap, we are planning for a 5/23 birth of Emily Dakota Bateman. Dr. Ronen recommended the date, and we thought it would be great if Jackson and Emily were able to share the same birthday. Under any scenario, their birthdays would have been a week or less apart, so we didn't see any reason to challenge the doc's suggestion. I also talked to some friends that had birthdays close to other siblings, and I think it will be something they will both grow to appreciate and cherish.

I am watching Angel (not my beautiful wife, but the TV show) for the first time ever. It is not bad as long as you are too tired to read something else and you don't have a remote control. It is a show about vampires and they are on some Nazi submarine that… no, I take it back. This show is really bad.
