Good day all,
Ryan here.
As you saw in April's last post, we're rapidly coming to the end of this phase of child number 3. So, in keeping with my bold tradition of making wildly arbitrary statements, I will predict, with unequivical certainty that the due date for Finn is.......(start the drum roll in your head).......July 16, 2009 at 2 pm. Yup, 1 week from today.
Anyone else wanna hazard a guess?
I'll even make it interesting. Besides the envy of millions (well, ok, dozens), the winner will get a framed picture of Finn in all his Owens awesomeness...
Good luck!!

Almost in the 9th month...
Yay! I'm tired and getting anxious to meet the second Son of a Son of a Sailor for us. Baby Finn is growing on schedule and actually seems to be about a week ahead. My blood pressure is holding ok for right now but was a bit high at the last appointment so we'll see what happens. Baby clothes and blankets are washed, baby equipment is set-up, house is pretty much decluttered...I'm ready to go. We are having weekly ob appointments now so we're getting close. :o)

Wow-it's about time for an update...
At our last appointment, the doctor said that he'd like to monitor me a bit more closely since I have high blood pressure. (Which, thankfully, is under control for now.) What that means is that I now have to go in for OB appointments every two weeks and I will be having some extra ultrasounds.
I had one such ultrasound today. :o) Finn is doing well although he seems to be confused about what direction to face and he's breech right now. Fingers crossed and prayers being said that he turns before delivery. I'd be bummed if my third had to be a c-section after two non-eventful deliveries.
On a good note, the boy is measuring a bit ahead--closer to 31 or 32 weeks. The ultrasound tech said we may have a bigger baby on our hands. :o)

A king size bed, minivans, and boys
No, it's not the title of some weird gay 70's porn. It's pretty much been the focus of the last couple of months (non the gay porn thing, the other stuff...oh forget it, I'm digging a hole).
Anywho, let's start with the least interesting news (I'm building to a big climax-get it climax?- I kill myself sometimes). Despite my better judgement, I acquiesced to getting a new bed. The problem was that I was deeply, madly, passionately in love with our old bed. It was a sleep number bed, quite easily the best bed ever made.
April, however, hated it.
So, in an effort to be a sensitive, caring husband, I sacrificed my comfort to get a new bed. WE ended up with a nice King size bed (I can't remember who makes it, but to be honest, since it ain't a sleep number, I don't care). I'll admit, that the fact that I gave in was a bit strategice in nature. See, back when April was pregnant with Ashlyn, I ended up sleeping on a matress on the floor of the bedroom because April needed the whole bed to be comfortable (she's such a diva). Since we had a queen size bed at the time, I insisted that any new bed be at least a king. Now I'm not going to be kicked out in the next few months...I hope.
Our next two adventures came back to back. This last Saturday, April and I finally bit the bullet and bought a new minivan, a 2007 Chrysler Town and Country. I wasn't looking forward to it, really. First, we haven't had a car payment in over 3 years. Second, I was looking forward to raising my coolness factor by getting something hip like a VUE hybrid or something like that. But, with the fact that our old minivan was 10 years old, had a finicky (read non-existant) thermostat and had an annoying habit of NOT starting 60% of the time, we figured it was in everyones best interest to upgrade.
Sigh, I might as well just start wearing black socks with shorts and sandles...
Finally, as most of you are already aware of, we're expecting a boy! We're really excited! I'm especially happy, because now, I can have a priest, a nun AND someone to carry on the Owens name. Life is good!

It's a boy!!
Yay! The baby cooperated and it was very obvious that it's a boy! Big sister Ashlyn is still in a bit of denial but she'll get it eventually. :o) Pics later.
