10 Days

Hello Madison,

We're only 10 days away from meeting you for the first time!  At least that's the plan.  After 2 weeks of progress towards delivery this week's visit to the doctor revealed no change :(  You're pointed the right way but you've got a ways to go in the downward direction before you're ready to come out.  People were hoping you'd come early, perhaps on your Mom's birthday on the 16th, but it looks like the best we can hope for is that you're on time.  Don't be late!  My parents are flying up here for Labor Day weekend and you need to be born by then!

Over the weekend your Mom had me put together a shelving unit for all your toys.  You're not even born yet and you already have enough toys for a whole storage unit! I thought that it should be put in the basement because that's where you'd spend most of your time playing but she wanted it near your room.  Since you're reading this in the future you'll know who turned out to be right.  I'm guessing your father had to eventually move that stupid shelf down two flights of stairs...

That's about it for now.  Remember - be on time!

Love,
Dad
