Exciting News

I know I didn’t write last week. There really wasn’t that much to say after the 30 weeks post. This week however, there is definitely news. The most important thing this week is Kristi went to the doctor on Friday and things are still going great. We just finished 32 weeks and Kristi is apparently a greenhouse for babies because she’s grownin’ them up right nice. While she is experiencing the normal pregnancy symptoms, the dangerous side effects don’t seem to be a problem. Kristi’s weight is good and she has good blood pressure. The most annoying symptom is now carpal-tunnel in her hands. Her hands go to sleep and start to hurt while she’s sleeping, while she’s working and when she’s not working. The doctor assured her it’s temporary.

Most exciting from this doctor’s visit is the babies are doing so good, they have moved the due date up a week. Originally the doctor was planning on getting them no later than July 15. Now, the plan is to get them no later than July 8.  Kristi has decided if they’re coming that week we might as well ask if they can be born on 7-7. I love this idea. The sooner they’re born, the sooner they’re old enough to push the lawn mower and the vacuum cleaner. My hope is to have them earning their keep by the end of the summer. First get them to sleep through the night then, once they’re well rested, get them on their chores.

Here is a picture of Kristi from this week.



Because it’s getting hard for Kristi to bend over and pick things up, her parents got her these big wooden scissors to pick things up. Here’s a picture of Kristi trying to pick up one of the dogs with the big scissors. The dogs were not impressed.




We start going to the doctor every week now and we have another measurement ultrasound scheduled in two weeks. I will let you know each week what the doctor says and what the ultrasound shows. Hopefully I’ll have some pictures of kids to show you.

I hope each of you have a great week. Talk to you next week.
