Jun 2-Jun 16: Erik Photos & Baby Watch

It has been a hectic few weeks for us - and I feel like I always am saying that!  Thankfully, we are starting to finally feel ready for a new baby to join the family!  Which is a pretty good thing, since we are officially on Baby Watch based on my last doctor's appointment.

Today is Day #4 of our Baby Watch.  At my last appointment on Wednesday, I had an elevated blood pressure reading and the doctor was very, very concerned about it.  By the time I left the appointment, my blood pressure was back to my normal ranges, but I was also on bed rest!  I now get to visit the doctors every few days and they are ready to talk induction - if I want to go that route.  I spent Thursday and Friday on my couch, working desperately on my computer to get some projects done at work and trying not to freak out at every little twinge and movement the baby made.    My parents, who were scheduled to arrive on Monday, bumped up their trip and drove all night to get here at 4:30AM Sabbath morning.  Of course, since they have gotten here, the baby has completely calmed down.  I've spent a good portion of today walking around and doing physical work trying to get something started!    Please let Baby Girl come soon!!

I've got a mix of pictures to share this week - hope you enjoy them.  On some of the photos, we tried some color tinting options that were on Kent's phone - I think they look pretty cool!

Too cute not to share!

Testing some boundaries

Erik the Gymnast

He stole my phone and then pretended to take pictures!

Erik with some fancy frogs.  He has taken to carrying footballs around with him everywhere!

Trying on Daddy's hat

Another football and another hat.  I sense some brain-washing on Kent's part!!
