Happy Birthday Gray Donald Snyder

He was born at 7 pm on the dot on Nov. 18. Mom and Gray are doing well. He measured 8 pounds, 8 Oz and 20.25 inches in length. He also has a full head of hair.

Test picture

Just sending this picture from the hospital as a test. As of 8AM, they had just started the drugs and it is just kinda of a waiting time right now. Probably won't have a delivery until late afternoon or night, but I will text message or call if things heat up!

Monday night

Monday night at 8 pm is go-time for the baby. The doctor estimates the process will be about 24 hours, so if you have November 18 in the pool, you may be a winner. Hopefully we can have some pictures or video posted here by Wednesday. Stay tuned!

Well, last week we decided to paint our dining room, since that is a pretty normal thing for people expecting a baby soon to do, ha!! Actually, Suzi has been advising us to get it done, knowing that we will never do it after the baby comes, and since Linz really, really hated the super-orangeness of the previous room. SO, here are before and after pictures. The new color doesn't photograph very well; we took 10 pictures of it and it looked 10 different colors. Linz describes the new color as "coffee with milk," but it's just sort of a plain tan-beige-taupe. Boring, maybe, but at least it's not orange!!!

Before: Super Orangey!

After: "Coffee with Milk"

Baby's New Sonogram

We went in for another sonogram and appointment today! The doctor said Linz's due date is probably closer to November 11, not the 17th, and that if the baby hasn't come by the 18th, they will go ahead and induce. During the sonogram, the baby was moving a lot, then it started to suck on its fingers, which was really cute! The first picture is the baby and fingers, from profile, and the second picture is the baby's little foot. They estimated the baby weighs 6 pounds, 2 ounces right now.
This is little Baby sucking his/her fingers, from profile.

And this is a little baby foot!

Da Bears

OK, so this picture was taken almost two years ago at Lindsay's annual meeting (back when AIG had annual meetings). But it is visual proof that Lindsay has been cavorting around with a known enemy of Packer nation. She has been reprimanded.

Lindsay's shower

Note: Andy did not attend, but worked hard to assemble everything after the fact. Unfortunately, some of the pictures did not come out, so we have no photographic evidence of the World's Best Baboon. Thank you to everybody.
