Kristen hit a HUGE milestone on Tuesday by making it to 30 weeks. We are so thrilled, and so blessed, that she is here. And, while things are getting considerably more uncomfortable, she knows the best place for the little people is inside her. Adding to her discomfort are new compression socks, which help with circulation in her legs. Between those, lying in bed all day, and "air boots" that she has to wear most of the day to get the circulation going in her feet (all meant to reduce the chance of blood clots), she is definitely a tough cookie. I can see that, when the kids do something bad to Kristen and I say to them, "Behave; you have no idea what your mother did for you guys," I will in fact be telling them nothing but the truth.
On Tuesday, the day she hit 30 weeks, I had a big "manly" day. At work, we got the keys to the jet (so to speak) and went out over the WA/OR coast, flying around and having a blast. Good times! That night, to really emphasize my manly man status, I......SHAVED MY WIFE'S LEGS! Yeah, that's right, and I could do nothing but laugh. It was pretty funny to think about that day. We had a good laugh about the whole thing, including my impression of Mo'Nique on Barbara Walters talking about why she doesn't shave her legs. ("Now Miss Baaaaaabbbra, you know I don't shave my legs, girl....") Okay, you had to be there.
After all that excitement, we decided to calm everything down last night by bringing a 95 pound black lab to the hospital. That's right: Fenway made his first hospital appearance. And that dog went nuts! Other than the elevator ride (sprawled out on all fours, clutching the tile with his claws and completely freaked out), his bull-in-china-shop mentality upon arriving on the floor, knocking things over with his tail, and growling at the nurse coming in to see Kristen, the trip went smoothly! Seriously, though, it was a hoot. And they were both glad to see each other, that is for sure. Fenway says that he will continue to go to the hospital to spread his love and well being in his summer 2010 Goodwill Hospital Ambassador tour. Look for it coming your way.
Above are a couple pics from the event. Good stuff. Thanks again for all the prayers.
