Nathan's First Week

Team Sato is now home and doing well. Nathan is a sleeper and seems to eat relatively well. Jeremy and I are getting more rest than we thought we would, thank to help from my mom and sister. They've been here since Thursday of last week and are heading back to OK tomorrow. We are excited to have Jeremy's parents here next week!

Here are some links to some of the pictures we've taken. There are a lot, so don't feel obligated to look through all of them! Nathan is a little super star and we love him to pieces!

Here are some fun pictures that a friend of ours took at the hospital. Note that I am on some serious narcotics that didn't mesh with my system... hence the glazed over look in my eyes.

We will be posting pictures regularly, so check back for more updates.

Thank you for all of your prayers and good wishes! We can't for Nathan to meet you all!

Update on Nathan and Graduation

Today is our official due date and we are definitely ready. Our most recent doctor's appointment went well and we are expecting Nathan to arrive at any time. In the event that he doesn't come on his own, we are scheduled to have an induction on May 19th. Please keep us in your prayers as we eagerly await Nathan's arrival!!

Amazingly, I managed to make it through my Master of Arts in Teaching Social Science graduation ceremony. Below are a few pictures from the big event!! This event was bittersweet as my dad was very excited to see me finish my Masters program. He was certainly with me in spirit.

New ultrasound pictures!!

We had another ultrasound yesterday, and they are estimating that little Nathan weighs about 8lbs 13oz. We are due on Saturday, but really, he could come anytime within the next two weeks... hopefully sooner rather than later! Here are some of the ultrasound pictures... our favorite is his face, which shows Jeremy's nose!

We are getting very excited! Hopefully the next time we write, it'll be with birth news!!!

Due in a week!

So, our due date is fast approaching and little Nathan seems perfectly content to stay inside the belly. We have had some progress - 100% effaced and 2 cm dialated. He has also started to drop down a little bit, which is good. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but I did happen to vacuum the entire house and then walk some more. The next day he seemed a bit lower... so who knows! He's still very active inside... in fact he's bouncing around and kicking wildly as I type (he must know we are talking about him). At any rate, we are anxiously awaiting his arrival.

When he does, we will be sending an email update that will give you all of the vitals and a few pictures! We will also be posting info on this site, so check back often over the next few weeks!

More soon... I hope!
