Kirstin says:
From an infrequent commenter, very long time reader, fellow HG sufferer and near death clotting/horrendously sick and hospitalized/miserable pregnant woman, I will be refreshing and checking obsessively tomorrow!
SO much love and excitement from San Jose, CA.
(PS we are expecting a 3rd baby, via newborn domestic adoption, at the end of August/early September. While I, too, will not ever be pregnant again because of my life and death pregnancy complications, I still want a big family. Cherish today, but just remember that you never know what the future holds, and you might one day attend the birth of your 3rd or 4th or 5th child )

Bridget says:
Exciting day! Just wanted to send well-wishes for an uneventful surgery. I’ve had 2 c-sections and being rolled to my room after recovery was always my favorite part. Get all that risky stuff behind you! Also, it sounds like your body is going to be so happy once you are alone in there again. Here’s to feeling “normal”! (except those pesky hormones, but what can you do) Yahoo – it’s d-day!
Meg says:
Love and big hugs your way — can’t wait for updates!

Kate says:
Can’t wait to hear that everyone is healthy! Can’t wait to see his face! Happy birthday baby boy Acrobat!
Cheryl says:
I have waited so long for this day and it’s finally here!! I have insomnia and first thing I do in the middle of the night when I wake up is read your blog about your beautiful family. Wishing you an easy delivery!! We all can’t wait to see that beautiful baby boy and Annie’s cute reaction to seeing her baby brother!!
Alyssa says:
I’ve been reading the blog since before you were even pregnant with Annie but I don’t comment often, however I just wanted to say that I am so very very excited for you this morning! I can’t wait to see the pictures of the baby (who doesn’t know that half of the internet already loves him!) and learn his name. It’s only a little past 11am here in Detroit, so I’ll be saying some prayers and sending out good thoughts for a wonderful, healthy and safe birthday day for your new little one. Much love to all of you!
Krystal says:
Best wishes to your family on this wonderful day!
Carolyn says:
Congrats!!! So excited. Can’t wait to find out his name!

Best wishes to you all! We will be thinking of you all day, praying for “boring” delivery. Can’t wait to see him, find out his name and hear about Annie’s first time seeing him. So happy for you and your beautiful family!
Patti B. says:
Lots of luck and happy wishes, Spohrs! Can’t wait to see his little face!
Michelle H says:
I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait!!!

Iris says:
GO BABY! I’m thinking of you Heather & Mike. It amazes me how exciting and happy I can be for a family I’ve never even met! You’ve all come such a long way, may everything go well today and the world can welcome another healthy boy. A brother for Annabel & Madeline, how very special.

Can’t wait! So excited to see the addtion to the Spohrs. Love your family. I know Madeline will be there watching the whole thing.
Alyson Sprafkin says:

So excited for all of you, praying for you guys today! Hugs from ND!
LeeAnne says:
I am so excited for you and have been checking all day for news of the Acrobat’s arrival. However it’s two hours earlier in CA than in NE, so I must be patient. Thinking of you all today!
Jana Holdeman Frerichs says:
HAHAHA! ME TOO! I’m in MN so I keep figuring the 2 hour time difference too, but I keep refreshing the page.
S says:
Thanks for making me feel better. I’m on the east coast, with a 3 hour difference and I just keep trying to be patient.
Mel says:
Ha Ha – I’m from Ontario Canada and forgot all about the time difference. Mike and Heather were probably both still sleeping when I first started checking the blog this morning!! I am guessing that it is probably only just after lunch right now.
Sandy says:
Looking at Heather’s twitter feed, there has been some emergency C-sections in front of her. Yep, I am checking back pretty frequently too!
Sandy says:
She hasn’t tweeted in about an hour. Here’s hoping that means they are delivering little baby boy!
Lorena says:
Heather, Mike, Maddie, Annie, and Rigby —
Blessings to all of you today! I am a long time reader who feels like a friend to all of you. The Acrobat’s impending arrival is so exciting for all of you. Here’s hoping Maddie sends some extra love with her brother for his big debut, and that it includes an uneventful delivery so we can all ‘meet’ him and learn his name!
Jana Holdeman Frerichs says:
The suspense is KILLING me!!! I can’t wait to hear that The Acrobat is here. I also can’t wait to learn his name and see his beautiful face. Lots of positive vibes heading your way.
PattyB says:
I know! The suspense is killing me, too. I hope everything went okay, and that an update will be posted soon!
Rebecca says:
I rarely comment but have been reading your blog for a little over 4 years now. First thing I read when the computer goes on in the morning. When I woke up this morning my first thought was “ooh! the acrobat is going to be born today!” I hope everything goes/went smoothly and you’re holding your beautiful baby boy soon/right now. Being parents to a boy is definitely an adventure. Can’t wait to hear all about him!
jayne says:
I rarely comment but have been reading forever. First thing I check in the morning is this blog. I’ve been obsessively refreshing all day…all my very best wishes to you and I hope everything went smoothly and you are basking in the love that surrounds you near and far.
Jeanie says:
Oh, I thought today was the day and was so excited to log on and see The Acrobat. Must calm myself down until tomorrow. Good luck!
Lindsay says:
Today is the day. But Heather’s Twitter has been saying that there have been some emergency C-section delaying hers.

Soooooooo excited. I, too, have been hitting “refresh” all day. Wishing you all best wishes.
Erin says:
Waiting excitedly! Thinking of you, Mike and Annie and sending prayers everyone stays healthy!

Hooray! I know it has been a long, tough journey for you. I’m so glad it’s finally “go time” – can’t wait to see pics of your Acrobat. I’m sure he will be as beautiful as his sisters!
