Well, Independence Day has drawn to a close and after a good fireworks demonstration here in Waco we are back home and still await the arrival of our little girl. She rocked and rolled through the fireworks and a visit with my mother and step-father, but she still seems content to be where she is for now. Our OB will let us go as late as Friday, July 11, so we are not concerned; however, we remain eager. Check back here for updates, or you can follow Carl on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/carlflynn/) and he will also announce updates there as well.

Happy Independence Day! We're off to our usual morning start with no change with Chantal. Carl is off today, which should be no surprise, so Chantal is glad that he is here rather than 15 minutes away from the house. Carl's mom and stepdad will arrive this afternoon from California, and will be here for the week, so hopefully Baby Flynn will make her appearance while they are here. Check back here for updates, or you can follow Carl on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) and he will also announce updates there.

Still no Baby Flynn as of lunch time today. Our due date is tomorrow, so maybe we will have an Independence Day baby. Maybe we should name her Liberty? :).

Well, it seems that Chantal's labor process may have begun its early stages. She lost her mucous plug tonight and, if Logan's birth is any indication, he was born about 36 hours or so after Chantal lost her mucous plug. So, we are increasing the "labor alert" to stage red and will be watching very, very closely for signs of full onset of labor. However, we know that they will not start immediately and it may still be a couple of days. But, we are inching closer!

Happy July! Currently, Chantal's answer to the question, "How are you?" is: "Still pregnant!" Our due date is less than 4 days away and we continue to anticipate the arrival of Baby Flynn 2. Our doctor visit went well this morning. Chantal remains 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Baby Flynn has a great heartbeat (140bpm) and Mommy also appears to be in great health. Our new arrival could come at any moment now, so we are waiting eagerly and expectantly to meet her face to face. We will post updates here as we have them!

Our doctor has returned from vacation and Baby Flynn is still cookin' -- Praise the Lord! Good heartbeat and good progress...Chantal is now 70% effaced and dilated to a 3! Dr. Sawyer says that the baby could come at any time now. All of our bags are packed (Logan's, Baby's, and Mommy's), Logan's "Childcare Availability" spreadsheet (detailing who is available to take care of Logan when Chantal goes into labor) is prepped and ready, all of Baby's necessities are ready for her arrival...now all we need is our new Baby Flynn! We'll see if we make our next appointment, which is scheduled for next week.

We had our appointment today and saw Dr. Sawyer's wonderful nurse, Linda, since Dr. Sawyer is currently on vacation. We got to hear the baby's heartbeat again and it's as good as ever! We are hoping that Baby Flynn waits until Dr. Sawyer returns to make her entrance into the world. Stay tuned...

June 12, 2008

We had our latest appointment today. Everything is pretty much the same as our last report. The baby has a good, strong heartbeat. Chantal remains 50% effaced, so there has been no change as we move toward our due date. Chantal's doctor is on vacation through next week, so we asked Baby Flynn to wait until after the 22nd to arrive. We'll see how it goes!

At long last, the website is launched. When we anticipated Logan's arrival, Daddy apparently had more time on his hands to pull together pictures and information as "the day" approached. But here it is! Check out the video and mark your calendars for our due date: July 4, 2008! We are thankful to God to be blessed with a new Baby Flynn, who we look forward to seeing face-to-face! Check back for more regular updates now that everything is in place!

June 6, 2008

We had our doctor appointment today. After this visit we will see our physician every week. The baby has a good heartbeat. Chantal is 50% effaced and the baby's head is down. So, she's in a good position to get ready to launch. More soon.
