Just a few pictures from Patrick’s birth day. More to come…

Patrick Finnegan Henry Wright was born on Friday, December 4, 2009 at 6:32 PM. He weighs 8 pounds, 10.5 ounces and is 20.5 inches long. He is perfect in every way.
This is my last pregnancy picture-- I’m being induced tomorrow at 39 weeks 2 days. It’s not my preference and I’m still hoping to do it without pain meds (or a Cesarean section), but the baby is measuring over 9 pounds and my blood pressure has crept up enough to be troublesome. I will update as I can. Thanks for all of your good wishes and support!
Well, I’ve finally reached the next to the last milestone in pregnancy: I’m officially full term. After all the other milestones-- the pregnancy tests, making it through the crucial first trimester, the genetic tests, the half-way point and the 20 week anatomy scan ultrasound, getting through the second trimester, reaching the point where the baby had viability outside the womb, getting the nursery set up, and all the rest-- it’s hard to believe I’m here, with three weeks (or less) to go. I’m going to be somebody’s mother. That’s just crazy.
There is only one milestone left to go: birth! Then the real adventures begin…
