Jess and I want to take this opportunity to say, “Thank You” to everyone who has sent love, positive energy, prayers and adoration for the newest member of our family. We feel truly blessed to have such great family and friends in our lives.
Here are some pics that I am finally getting a chance to upload.

Labor lasted almost exactly 12 hours from the time her water broke (~4:15am)
Here are some fresh pics. Mom and baby are doing outstanding!

I have been involved in the www since 1998. Huh, 10 years already. As a website owner and content maintainer for most of that time, some of my biggest trouble has come from people who believe the things they post are anonymous. Well these two articles are inspiring in that they bring accountability to people who thought there was no accountability out here:

Hi guys, it’s been a while since I’ve written. I honestly just never think of it and when I do, I realize Leroy/Phil does a good job of keeping everyone posted. But here we are almost 39 weeks and still no Baby Leese! We are so ready for her to be here that we just can’t stand it. Everything is ready: the nursery, the car seats, the clothes, the diaper bag…we’re just waiting on her to decide that it’s time. I have truly enjoyed my pregnancy up until the last month or so just because I’m getting so big that it’s very uncomfortable, but all negatives aside pregnancy truly is one of God’s most astounding miracles. Everyone has been so wonderful and supportive over the last 9 months and I just couldn’t have been more blessed with such a great experience. I am realizing that we have no clue how much our world is about to change…a lot of people talk about the down side of that change, but we enjoyed thinking today about the great changes she will bring and what she will be like. Thank you all for your prayers, support, and encouragement throughout our pregnancy! We’ll keep you posted!!!
…but it must be note-worthy if i have chosen to blog about it.
we watched about 4 hours of “Project Runway” yesterday. I don’t know why. I guess we can’t retrieve that lost time in our life. And while I struggled to fall asleep last night, the characters and their plights in the show kept my mind racing. yuck.
Hi Y’all,
Just want to let everyone know that we are 37 wks + 1 day and Jess is huge 
They have told us that we may be a good candidate for early induction – so within as few as two weeks we may be welcoming the little one into the world. Actually, we plan on walking and stimulating the labor process, so perhaps a little sooner than two weeks if we have our way. We’ll (of course) keep everyone posted.
