Crazy week

It has been a crazy week at the house. First, Kristen had to visit the crabbiest nurse that she has seen. Next, her blood pressure was a bit elevated, which led to the docs wanting to see Kristen twice a week. So now, every Monday and Thursday we will be going to the docs' office. Next, the doctor's mentioned Preeclampsia which sounds bad but everything always looks good after the blood tests and the other expensive tests they run. So, Kristen might have Preeclampsia, and she may not. The doc has told Kristen to get as much rest as possible-this has been difficult however due to the 7-pound human growing, kicking, punching, and tumbling inside of her. We'll see how this idea goes.

On a good note Kristen's school has found a substitute for Kristen's maternity leave. She has experience as a long-term and hopefully will do a great job.

Also, we have finally scheduled to see some Pediatricians, so pray that we love one and can cross that off our list.

Other than that, all is good, the nursery is ready, the bags are packed, the car seat is installed, and Kristen is ready to get that thing out of her belly. We'll keep you updated.

Week 34

Here is Kristen at 34 weeks. She is so happy. Really, who wouldn't be?

Bad baby

Kristen has been getting annoyed recently. The baby has been hanging out on the right side all the time and it is starting to get uncomfortable. Kristen sometimes whispers to her belly that the baby is being bad. I have yet to tell her that according to research the baby, while obviously gifted, can not yet respond to verbal commands. The baby has grown in size and people are dumb when they ask Kristen if she is having twins or if her due date is next week. Dumb questions. Dumb people.

Matt has slept very well and has been spending most days watching movies. He gets no annoying questions and does not have to lug around a 25-pound eating machine. His life is hard right now.
