The waiting game

Did I fool you with the pic? No. Thats not Noah :( The due date has come and gone and Noah seems to not be wanting to come out into this world! Maybe it is the gas prices that scare him, the crime going crazy, the economy crashing or maybe the wars and hurricanes scare him? I can’t blame him, this world is pretty crazy. But perhaps he was sent to save us. Okay probably not, but he could make a difference somehow and it is our job to raise him so he has the tools to reach his potential, whatever that may be. But I digress.

Growing up in Loveland, a small Ohio town, I had the opportunity to make many friends, some for life. One friend I had that I was best friend’s with for several years, Chad, I lost track of for a bit after high school. I knew he attended Pratt School of Design, I saw his parents a couple times when i went home. My mom saw his sister one day and reminded me I need to contact him. Well I did finally meet up for a brief time in Cincy this past Christmas with his wife who was pregnant at the time. They already had one precious little girl whom we met. We had a nice time catching up and it sparked us to stay in touch. Little did I know how parallel our paths were going to be.

Come to find out Sharon was almost the same point in her pregnancy as his wife. Which we did not know at the time because we were in denial :) They too planned on using a mid-wife and doing everything natural like we are. But they were too far from a hospital so they did not opt for home birth. And she too went past her due date, 10 days past! We are looking to be on that timeframe as well :( Chad and Ann just were blessed with another baby girl yesterday, Isobel Francis Borke. Chad sent me the most precious photo of her, she is a gorgeous baby, she just looks so innocent and precious in the photo. I realize it is just a camera phone image, but it is a great shot!

I cannot wait until I can share Noah with everyone, you can bet I will be taking lots of pics so stay tuned as usual. He has to come out sometime!!!
