The due date is now less than two weeks away. Something we keep reminding ourselves is that the due date is just an estimation, give or take two weeks. The labor could begin any day. The funny thing is now every time we call someone, (especially our parents) they become very excited and think we are calling to tell them Sue is in labor or we have a new baby. They usually seem a little let down, but we are thankful for some extra time to prepare and enjoy our free time (and sleep).
One really cool thing for me is that my good friend Errol just had his first child 2 weeks ago. I am able to talk with him and receive a sneak preview of what lays ahead. He has confirmed the warning of many that I will be very sleep deprived. Believe it or not, I was able to get through college without ever being sleep deprived for more than one day. I think this will be a big challenge for me. If anyone can send me a present of sleep, I would greatly appreciate it.
Sue and I are very grateful for all the support and prayers we've been receiving from all of you. We're very excited to meet the tiny baby that has been subletting Sue's body for the past nine months!
Mathieu David Weber was born at 5:30 pm on January 29th! He and mom are doing very well. He is a big baby, 8 lbs 10 oz. It was a very long hard day for Susan, but she really showed how tough and strong she is. At this point Sue is working diligently on her breastfeeding techniques and David is becoming a quick and efficient diaper changer and swaddler. Little Mathieu enjoys sleeping on mom's breasts. There will be plenty more pictures and descriptions to come.
Waiting for a baby to arrive is exciting ... and we feel quite popular. Everyone picks up the phone when we call! In the meantime, Dave and I are enjoying this time together. I stopped working, so instead of rushing out of the house in the morning, we drink tea together before Dave has to step outside for work. Dave thinks it's rather amusing that I have a built-in 
shelf upon which to set my tea, and he felt the bassinet looked too empty so he placed my teddy bear showcasing one of our new cloth diapers in the baby's sleeping quarters.
