The family blog...

Where to begin...

I've been contemplating for sometime now starting a family blog about our comings and goings. So our families and friends can keep tabs on our new baby boy! (I figured this might be the best way for our families to stay involved with our daily happenings since they don't live in Rome.) So here is to Keeping up with the Edwards and our busy life. 

Hard to believe that Austin Gary is due any day now. Seems like just yesterday that  we found out we were expecting. We've been working hard on the house to get things ready for his upcoming arrival. Andy's latest projects have included refinishing furniture for the nursery, repainting the guest room, painting closets and doors, and refinishing the original glass hardware on the doors. (Along with hanging new blinds and a ceiling fan.) I have been helping to paint but mostly organizing things as we go. Trying to throw out and consolidate as much stuff as possible. Meanwhile, Samson has been his usual self...in to mischief and making us laugh daily. We know that AG is going to be an adjustment for all of us but especially Samson. We are optimistic and hopeful that once he gets over the initial shock that he'll be AG's first friend. 

Tomorrow we head back to the doctor for my next check up. We should find out some more information about potentially being induced. The last few days have been really hard with my sciatica and the amount of swelling that I have been experiencing. As Michelle, my physical therapist, says the only thing that will remedy this is to deliver! Hopefully, AG will arrive soon. We are as ready as we'll ever be. There are still a few things that we need to do in the nursery but for the most part I'm pleased with how everything has come together. When we get everything done I will post some pictures.
