The Last Stretch...

Just in case you didn't see it on the left, we've got 17 days left until Owen Joseph Whitcomb has his birthday. I think we're as ready for him as we can be. The nursery has been pretty much ready since Christmas and we've got more onsies then I think one person should have, but I've been told they go through those things pretty quick. We got a Diaper Genie last weekend, so we've got a place for the stinky ones...

We've taken a few classes to help us prepare for our little guy. Last month we took the Prepared Childbirth Class at Carolinas Medical Center - NorthEast in Concord (where we will be having Owen). Instead of trying to commit to four or five weekday classes, we opted for the all day Saturday session. It was very informative and I'm glad we took it. We also got a tour of the L&D areas as well as the birthing rooms. We also took a Healthy Beginnings for Newborns this week and learned a lot of important things, including infant CPR. This weekend Walker and I are going to the Bootcamp for Daddys, this should be interesting...

Here is some information about the hospital, in case you are interested:
Carolinas Medical Center - Northeast

I will have my computer with me and plan on updating this website often, so be sure you check back often for the latest.

We can't wait for Owen to get here, he has already gotten so much love and affection from all of you, our friends and family. Thank you for everything you have done and will continue to do!

-Greg, Lori & Owen
