He Said

Neither of us have written anything in a long time. I personally don't think to (or really care to) stop every day and find something to add to my journal entry. Kristy on the other hand wanted me to set this up because "I'll use it if you make one!" Tonight her excuse was that I'm not doing it either - so here I am.

This week Taylor started grabbing things. She managed to swipe a pen out of my shirt pocket after worship on Sunday. I thought it was an accident but she has successfully nabbed teething rings and rattles in her crib all week. It's exciting... and it's not all at the same time. Now we have to start really baby-proofing everything. I'm just glad I'm not the one that wears earrings.

Ok, either somebody wasn't thinking at ALL when they set this up... or somebody down at the West Penn hospital has a good sense of humor.

This evening Kristy and I went down to tour the hospital she will be giving birth at (unless we're stuck in traffic a very loooong time). We were part of a group tour, along with 8 or 9 other couples. The tour began with a presentation in a conference room including a lot of information and some photo slides of all the areas of the hospital we would eventually see. They said they always show the slides because if the rooms are full of birthing mothers they are unable to give the full tour. We ended up being able to take the full tour.

As we rounded the corner following the directions we were given to the conference room where it would all begin, we were greeted by this sign, at which point I became confused as to whether I should start laughing, or run for cover. Yes, I was indeed about to sit, with almost a dozen pregnant women, in a room named "The Burstin Room". That's... just... not... right!

We finally got the rooms switched around, carpets cleaned, and baby furniture moved in. Most of the decorating is done and it's just unpacking/organizing all the shower gifts. Here are a couple of pics.

...Who's the most INSANE of them all?? WOW this took sooo long, and this was just 1 of 6 that I want to put up. Here's a teaser image, I probably won't put pictures of all the rest because I'm editing a video of me doing them all that I can put up when I'm all done.

Today we had another doctor appointment for Kristy and Baby. It was a pretty quick, simple checkup. We got to hear the heartbeat again and it was quite a bit louder this time. There should be a link in here to click and listen to it. (I hope it worked, if not I'll keep trying until it does)
