Liam Scott Raymond
Hi everyone! Becky and Scott would like to announce the arrival of Liam Scott Raymond. He was born on August 15th at 3:32 AM in Lake Forest, IL. So our little baby is an American. :) He was 8lb 8 oz and 21 inches long.
As I am not the best at updating the blog, here is a link to a photo album for Liam. We'll have more updates shortly.

Maybe the last picture??
Taken Friday, August 10, 2007, 5 days past due date. This may be the last photo taken of Baby in my belly! We're hoping that Baby lives for the weekend (like we all do)!

Bora Bora
Since I have some time on my hands, I wanted to experiment with some blogger tools. I figure once baby is here, we can use this to display the little cutie-pie! So, here's my attempt at practicing with it. Enjoy some of our pics from our trip to Bora Bora over New Year's!

Post Appointment update
Hi all,
No changes!
Doc's appt. went well. Baby was monitored and he/she is healthy and apparantly quite happy in there.
The next step is ...well, besides waiting... an appointment on Monday to check on baby's size and health and go from there. It could happen before then, or it could not!
We're very happy that baby's healthy and happy. We are also excited to meet him/her and would like to have some good family time with the three of us before Scott has to leave for 2 weeks on the 20th. So, we're hoping for baby to come sooner rather than later!
Keep 'pushing' for us! :)

Tuesday--two days of extra growth!
Lucky little munchiken--doesn't have to conform to anyone's 'schedule' or expectations. He/she just continues swimming around while the multitudes of people anxiously awaiting his/her arrival go crazy. :) What a jokester!
The news is, is that there really isn't much to report. I believe I dropped on Sunday (baby's due date), since it feels like baby's lower and I'm using a whole new group of muscles to carry this child around...but that is yet to be confirmed by the doc. We have our next appointment bright and early tomorrow morning, so we should have a better idea of what this little tyke is up to. He/she is still moving around and I'm still having "practice" contractions. Some of them are a bit crampy, but as you can tell none have progressed into anything.
I went to the police station to have the baby seat inspected this morning--all is good! The seat is great, installed perfectly and just waiting to be filled. I encourage anyone who has small kiddies in car seats to get theirs checked out. It took a quick phone call, then a 5 minute inspection. It's good peace of mind.
And that's my public service announcement of the day. I might just go make some iced tea and start on one of my books that I picked up at the library this morning. I'm looking forward to a nice, relaxing afternoon. (psst...reverse psychology! haha)

Due Date!
Today, August 5th, is our baby's due date. Too bad Baby doesn't know this... :)
He/she is still tucked in, nice and snugly. We'll see how things go this week. We have a doc's appointment Wednesday morning to evaluate how the little tyke is doing in there. Baby's still squirming away, so I'm sure Baby is just enjoying the full-body hugs, endless supply of food and the nice, dark, warm cocoon.
I'm off to do groceries. It never fails that when I go out, I get asked about the baby and when it's due. It will be fun to watch the faces of the people when I tell them, "Oh, today." They usually back away in terror, as if my water is going to instantly break all over their sandals, or tell me (as I was told on Friday night when Scott and I were out for his birthday date night) "Get yourself home, girl!" This woman was funny. We chatted with her and her friend for a bit and she told us that she worked as a social worker in inner city Chicago for many years and it was rare that she saw the excitement, love and happiness that we were exuding when we talked about the upcoming arrival of our little one. She said, "Babies just don't know...they don't know how much they can be loved."
So, Baby, in or out, your mommy and daddy love you very much. Happy due date! Maybe we can celebrate with some ice cream later. :)

All tucked in...
I had my weekly doctor's appt. today...baby is all tucked in there, going nowhere! The due date is August 5th, but baby can come anytime up until 43 weeks (wow--that's almost the end of August! Yowsas!). I'm sure he/she will be here before then!
The house is done! (for now...there are little projects to do still like changing out lights, etc., but the big stuff is all taken care of) It looks great!
It's hot here--this week it's supposed to go up to the mid-90s (that's mid 30s for the Canucks)--that's hot.
Tomorrow is Scott's 32nd birthday! We're going out for lunch and having cake tomorrow and Scott gets to finally open his presents (I've had them wrapped and ready to open early if needed for the past 2 weeks!) then we're going out for dinner and a movie (The Bourne Ultimatum) on Friday! Fun! :)
That's about all that's new. I'm tuckered out from baby's constant dancing during the night, so I should go take a nap!
Bye all!
Becky
