1) Thanks Jen!
Beka kept saying this baby would be born on August 1...could be!
Glad to hear they are doing well and feeling pretty good.

2) Keep it up! Nature-loving is in Baby Mitchell's blood.

(Oh, and if the baby is born today, it totally has Harry Potter's birthday. Good or bad? Don't know. But very interesting.)

3) I say it'll be tomorrow ... I kept saying 8 all along, I guess it was month and not day ... maybe?? :) 8.1.08 is a pretty sweet birthdate!! Yay BM :)

4) Do you know what her stats are now? How is she progressing? A walk sounds good.

5) well, hope to see y'all in a bit!

6) walking is very good, hang in there!

7) How far is Momma Bek dialated? Has her water broken?

8) Coal Yard,
Make me a steak sandwich for me!!! Give them all a HUGE hug from Idaho!

9) Someone said she was at 10 but it did not come from you.. If Bek is at 10 and walking in the yard then it seems Will should grab a wheelbarrow. Keep up the good work. Probably a good idea for Allison to catch a few zzzz's - will pump that energy back up! Jen, you and Alli keep us posted. Can hardly wait!

10) Hey do I need to run to Coal Yard? Send me your orders. I will get WHATEVER ya'll want. I am so hyper I think I could actually RUN there!

11) D, hop on the motorcycle and get them some food. Also give us an update with lots of details.

12) D-
isn't this all soooooo exciting! Glad you are able to be the food runner for the baby crew! Pick me up a coal yard steak sandwitch....by the time you run it to me in Idaho the baby will be here!

13) I just packed up the car with all my video equipment (including boom mics, hot lights, color filters, my clip-on ponytail and a squeaky duck). I should be there within an hour WillnBek. I'll need a little while to get everything setup for the webcam but should have a live feed for the Interwebs by mid-afternoon.

Niki, I'll let you know if their water is broken when I get there. Will said it was an older house so the plumbing could be busted. Way to think ahead though, that kid is going to need a bath after it arrives for sure and they'll need water to do it right! Good work Team Deaton, we're on top of things for sure when the need arises.

14) Clip-on rat tail ... what on earth are you going to do with that thing?!

15) He'll need a shave too probably.

16) call in that order, we'll have it ready in a jiffy!

17) 684 9653

18) Steak sand for me!

19) Denny, Is Sly making an appearance at the Michell compound ... must be a girl then!

20) They must be busy - Alli is not responding to my text to place that order.
What fantastic phone calls I have received today....Friends- relatives trying to figure out who is who on Humzoo. My mom, Geraldine, even called and had me read some of the comments to her. She sounded like she was about to cry. She just couldn't not believe that there were so many sweet people responding - and some that we have never met ---yet! All are saying how they can't get away from the Humzoo. They hit refresh on their computer every few mins! This is a hoot. Oops gotta go charge my camera battery for that Kodak moment. Alli did say they are getting some great pictures - appropriate ones to share with Humzoo too.

21) Emmy Ann - I'll order your sandwich but why don't you come get it...That way you can see Baby M..

22) Good to hear D...glad they are taking some photos! Tell miss Geraldine that we love her lots and Roy too!!

23) Yeah!! that would be awesome.
I'll have to call the mortgage company and tell them I can't pay the bill this month, I'm flyin' to South Carolina!
Be there in a few!

24) Tickets to come this afternoon are $508!!! Wouldn't that be great!

25) OMG, I am a wreck, I thought when NIki and Denny did this it was nerve wrenching. Thank you for the updates, good work Bek and Will. Don't go too far on that walk! LOVE YA, Mrs. Rose

26) Hey Jennifer and Allison... what's going on now? Still walking/napping?
Is it go time?

27) Dave and I have schedule a routine maintenance checkup on Humzoo today from 2pm-midnight. We'll need to bring the site down during this time. Is that ok with everyone here on the WillnBek baby blog?

28) Mrs. Mitchell...I am so excited you are going to be a Grandma! Yay! I have been following on Humzoo, so that I don't have to call you constantly to see what is going on! I can't wait to see pictures!

Hey Will...maybe this year, you can bring the baby to the classroom instead of the rooster!

29) Pictures, YES, we will want to see pictures of the beautiful baby!!!

30) Denny, don't be messin' with the Will n Bek updates!!! AAGGHHHH!!

31) There are updates? By my clock we have not heard anything for 2 hours. Will, you need to get on this! The first humzoo baby blog needs more info!!!!!

32) Hi Ya!

I'm sending you good pushing vibes! The easy part is about to come! Hang in there! The news of your labor just flooded my heart with joy! Remembering our homebirth process. David sends his love as well.

33) Miss D, what do you know....any more information than what we see on Humzoo? We are all so excited to know what's going on!
Denny- you are soooooo funny! That would make so many people sad and CRAZY!
Hey Penny!! Hope you are well!
Jen and Alli- we need more info!

34) i've never seen so many people freak simultaneously over something positive. this is great and needs to happen more often in life!

35) and hurry up BM, i need to start your dishwasher training!

36) That's cause Baby Mitchell is HumzooRAD! :)

37) I'm praying....that you'll go the hospital!

38) And through the last little bit, Alli is still napping. Should I text Will? I really think the ones not in labor need food and CY closes soon (don't you, Jess). I don't have Jennifer's cell..
I'm just as crazy as all of you as I know nothing more than you at this point. Grandparents are suppose to hear the word of the actual birth before Humzoo but I'm afraid they will forget and I'll be in the bathroom or something when it is posted. You think I should ride the 4-wheeler over and spy!

39) And here I was hoping that when I came back this time there would be pics of the baby - or at least another update! Come on Baby Mitchell - we are all dying to see pics of you!

40) I ran in from my meeting and I guess things have slowed down-Bek must have needed a little break-considerate Baby but NOW its time to get on with it! Can you hear the chant coming from all across the country and Canada Baby M, Baby M, Baby M!!!!

41) Seriously, Em, Do you need me to bring you a steak sandwhich??

Has she gone in the baby pool yet?

42) Hi Ashley--Glad you are keeping up.
Denny - don't make me threaten you on Humzoo!

43) She has been in the pool several times, Alli said. Quite comfortable, I believe, even if for a few..

44) Denny is there going to be a problem with everyone trying to check this blog at the same time? I bet the site is smokin' about now. I think your little cute threat might be enough for someone to do you some serious damage or at lest send you something catching on your new iphone:>.

45) isn't the pool cold by now? (do you even notice in labor?)

46) Will, did Denny not teach you anything with our baby blog? The people want frequent updates! You have a whole army at your house. Sleep is overrated!

47) Calm down future G-maw...Talked to Lynn , she is trying to figure out how to get to this site...go feed them young'uns....

48) i will be ready to make supper for everyone around 5! 4:30 if necessary! lemme know!!!

49) WOW-This is wild! I almost feel like I'm there. Go Bek! Absolutely can not wait!

50) Hey Jen,

Saw Jaime Lee...she will be tuning in shortly

Jenny

51) Okey dokey. We love you!

52) Am I the only person who is working today?
Will, are y'all trying to stretch this out so you can have a long weekend off? Starsky is doing a great job filling in for you. We might just have to make him full time.

Bek, you are one awesome daughter-in-law and mother-in-the-making! I can't wait to see my Grand-BM. I love you!

If you get a chance later on, would you look for my belt sander?

53) i am going on a drive out to black's peaches if y'all need anything just holler 493-1197

54) OK Denise, I will meet you in the barn in just a few moments. Bring sleeping bags. I am sure they need us and just don]t know it And bring a little ladder so we can reach the window.

55) Hi, Will and Bek! Moo sent us to the site and we love it! What a great way to keep up with all of your progress. We're thinking about you both and can't wait to meet the new Mitchell!
Good Luck!

56) Dannie, Humzoo is only 4 months old, its not old enough to smoke yet.

57) Love you guys, keep hoping the baby is here every time I refresh! :)

58) I've got my whole office in Charlotte, and the plant in Shelby following this event... almost as good as some of the noon SOAPS...Except I know the major players in this one... BELT SANDER ?????

59) Will don't forget the refexology around the ankle I showed you. Help encourage the contractions.
Come on Baby M!!!!
Maassage Therapist Vicki

60) Will & Bek, this is an awesome marketing job you guys are doing for Humzoo, and all while you are having a baby! Amazing. Denny will give you his profit from the company, and Will, I will even let you touch my computer screen next time you are in town. I bet you guys are starving. FREE DAY!

61) It's refreshing to see that I am not the only one constantly checking for updates on here! Hang in there Bek!

62) foots, apparently the belt sander has been missing since will had it last, from what i gather, looking at the other blogs. mr william is just trying to play cool.

63) and no, mr william, you're not the only one working today!!!

64) Angi! For the love! "take the kiddos to the pool"??? No need for such details... this is not Twitter.

65) Hey I'm working.......my fingers are tired on this keyboard!

Moo - I have two ladders - One for you and one for me!

66) D and Moo...don't fall off the ladders and break an arm...you'll need them to hold the new baby!
Kisa, I do need a steak sandwhich but I only want one from the Coal Yard, they are the best around!
Grandfaja, I'm working too, just multi-tasking like crazy!
Love to everyone.
Where the heck's the update Alli and Jen? We're going CRAZY!

67) D. go get my spare Jeep and you and moo sit on the hood and look in...Keys are in it...

68) What's going on? We must be having some sort of action with no update...Need an update by 4:30,please, please!!!!!!! I have to leave work then and can't sign on til Friday am!! Moo, tell poppy to call me and let me know if anything changes after then!!

69) Ok, so since we aren't getting BM updates as anticipated, tell me more about the Coal Yard? I googled it and found the address, a youtube with some Senator talking about the Stimulous check etc. So, IF I ever get out to SC, will have to eat there. What's good?

70) D. where are you ??? what's going on ???

71) steak sandwich is what i always recommend--will's and emmy ann's favorite. salmon's pretty kicka** too. it's all worth eating, better than a snowball, i say

72) Go Bek Go!!!
I have to say it's wonderful to experience BM's arrival in this way. Will and Rebekah you two are wonderful people and you are going to make wonderful parents. I know what you're going through. Wellllll, I know what Will is going through. I have been there and I wish I could experience the end result everyday. Hang in there and rest when possible. You are in the best care with Damaris there and she will take care of you both.

73) I'm here - knowing nothing...Soon, I hope I know something.
Come On Baby M!

Coal Yard ---Blackened Salmon with melted garlic butter....YUM!
Grilled cheeseburger is pretty yummy too!

74) I just had an ahah! moment- I can take my blackberry out to the studio and keep up with the news OR I can be working on my own blog pictures and keep up with the news. Oh-oh I 'm beginnning to like all the electronic stuff!!!!

75) I tell you what I have never been so addicted to a computer and blog as I have been today. I sure hope it is soon!!!!!

We love you!!

76) If websites got Nielsen ratings, they'd be #1 in the ratings today. I think Denny needs to go down there for coverage. He gave us a play-by-play with Dylan! When did you say you would get there, Denny? Will Coal Yard bring you a sandwich too?

77) It is all sounding so yummy!!! I make sure I put my order in before I get on the road. Hope to see BM pics before then too! Wishing Will and Bek all the best!

78) thunderstorm, R-bex, just like you said!!!

79) Holy cow, is BM holding out for 8-01-08? Hope all is going well!

80) We just had a terrible thunderstorm in Charlotte. Jess, did Rebekah predict it would storm during the birth?

81) Yes, serious storm rolling through now.

82) Grant and I are in Laurinburg now... on the way to the beach. We have been checking the blog the entire way (but Grant's phone won't allow us to leave messages). I can't wait to hear how things are going! Bek, good luck with the pushing! Will, keep giving Bek everything she wants! Good luck... We love you!!

83) yeah, niki, r-bex said she thought bm would come during a t-storm!!!

84) Still waiting, I see...guess I'll check back later, but I won't tell anyone where we're going, OK Denny? --And I removed that earlier comment for you, too; I don't want to be associated with Twitter, whatever that is.

85) I am about to lose my mind people! What the heck is going on over there?
D and Moo- can't you give us live updates from the ladder in the window?
I hope all is going well and yall have some energy left to push through the fourth quarter!
We love you!!!

86) Go Beks!!

87) Bek and Will are not able to blog right now but they are BOTH doing fine. They will give you an update ASAP.

D - Pops - Moo - Poppie

88) Great to hear D! Thank you!!
Can't wait for more info!
Love you!

89) Impressive multi-tasking Em. Just so you all know, Emily is simultaneously planning a huge party/fundraiser for her job that happens in two days. She's crazy there, but still keeping up with the Mitchells!

Keep pushing on Bek!

90) Hey Kisa, thanks for noticing....I am incredible at multi-tasking today. My brain may be mush by Sunday but it'll all happen.
I'm just so darn excited to hear the news!!!

91) Not able to blog...psh...please, you'd think they were havin' a baby or something! :) Looking forward to pictures in the next couple days.

Good luck (or whatever you wish expecting parents), Will'n'Bek!

92) Ok, on the bus. Just left happy hour and glued to my iPhone. I drank a bourbon for you Will (actually 2). I am going to hold my breath until the baby arrives (or I pass out). I am hoping to hear the news soon, so I can tell the baby how I found out about it's arrival one day (on I-77 with an iPhone)!

93) someone needs to come have celebratory drinks with me tonight for baby mitchell's b-day!!! we'll be done around 11!!!

94) I'll be there Coal Yard...where shall we go?

95) I'm so glad I didn't miss the action. YammaSue called me this morning to say Baby Mitchell was on the way. I got to work and all KTkat and I could talk about was if we were missing it and how things must be going. Can't wait to hear more.
Keep up the good work Team Mitchell!!! (I think we should make T-shirts)

96) D, I have to leave my office and won't have the internet for several hours. I'm feeling very sad about this. Would you mind calling me if BM arrives? Of course you don't have to call me until you've gushed and ooohed and awed over the little one.
Love yall!
208-201-1532

97) Hey everybody. There has been a little change in plans. I'm over at Will and Bek's and they have taken a road trip . They and midwife decided to go use the birthing room at the hospital. Will said BM was trying to come through the cervix with it's head sideways. They are all doing fine and Will said he will post a new update as soon as he can get back to a computer. Ya'll don't worry now, I found the belt sander!
Logged in as Will but I am the "Grandfaja."

98) yeowch...We are all waiting and rooting for them here in Nebraska!

99) Wow - hope all is well - good call if BM is sideways

101) We're praying for you Will and Bek! Can't wait to hear if you have a girl or a boy so i can go shopping!!! hee hee!

102) 102nd comment, WOOT!

103) For a moment, Joe, I thought you'd had time on your hands to sit and count them, until I remembered they do that for you at the top. Is it a record yet?

104) We're singing songs (john is trying to make up one for BM right now) over at the House of Kale. We love you and we're rooting for you will and bek!!!
camille (cabbage #2)

Baby Mitchell --now known as --William Driggs Mitchell -
entered this world at 10:17pm on July 31, 2008 -
weighing 8 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 21 1/2 inches long, He looks like his dad (Bek said it first) with brown hair and a beautiful round face. Rebekah is happy to have the birthing over and Will is ready for a good sleep. Assistants Jenn and Alli are pretty exhausted as well.
Rebekah, Will and Driggs and the rest of the Littlejohn and Mitchell family felt the prayers and love you were all sending throughout the day. Thank you. We will leave the rest of the story for them to tell you so stay tuned.....there's always more!

178) That's great jdk!

179) Now, I realize that Will and Rebekah are probably extremely busy with their new little precious baby boy and after almost twenty hours of vigorous laboring I am sure they are very tired as well... BUT... I'm ready for some pictures!! How about everyone else? =)

180) Good morning all ya'll and many, many congratulations from the great state of Illinois!! I agree that I've never worried so much about folks I've never even met, but am glad that you now have a beautiful baby to hold and love...it's an amazing feeling and life will never be the same as it was yesterday. Take care, and rest.

181) WOW!!! I was able to check this earlier this morning and didn't have time to write anything. LOVE THE NAME!!! LOVE Y'ALL!!! MUCH LOVE AND HAPPINESS TO EVERYONE! Please let me know if I can do ANYTHING for any of you!
PS: I like "Cookie" too! :)

They REALLY are working on it! He is so precious with the darkest eyes and hair. I can't wait for you to see him!

187) Awww - I have been waiting patiently all day - I am sure Bek is tired and Will is just enjoying being a daddy - but we want pics!

188) Congrats you guys! I can't wait to love on Sweet Baby Driggs. You should see how much People Magazine will give you for the pics. At this point, the entire population of Humzooland would run out and buy copies. Driggs is more popular than the Jolie-Pitt twins!
