In LA

Noah here. Welp, we had our final round of pre-birth appointments today and we are staying here near the hospital waiting for this little angel to arrive. The induction date is set for the 23rd and Kristi is 3cm dilated and 50% effaced (which is no big surprise on #5 so she could stay like that for a while). With the possibility of  labor any time (and likely a fast labor) we are staying here close by the hospital and my magnificent parents are at our home taking care of the other kids (who are elated to be spending time with their Grammie and Grandfather). We continue to feel a tremendous amount of peace in the midst of all this craziness. The prayers and thoughts of so many loved ones is really quote overwhelming. The outpouring of love for this little girl is powerful. Thank you! We are so excited for her to arrive! Much more detail to come! And to be honest I am pretty hopeful she hangs out inside mom for a few more days because it is pretty rad to have Kristi all to myself for a bit! The woman is a wonder.
