How it All Unfolded

Monday the doctor is not doing any checks because it is the long-weekend, but contractions get worse through the day. Monday night, Ang is unsure if we should go in or just leave it till morning. Well we both lie down at night and within two minutes we are both very sure that we need to go tonight. At least it will take the fear of home birth away.

So as I leave to get the babysitter, Ang calls and tells me that I should hurry… So i speed like a maniac. In 45 minutes we are in the hospital and another hour  later Angela is holding a little blue ball of Kai!

And they all lived happily ever after!

Mischevious? Definitely!

We love this little man. So cute, playful, happy, tagging along with his big sister, sharing, running, watching Daddy, he’s amazing! He’s also mischevious.

Well, maybe too curious is a better way to describe him. He loves playing with water. In the bath, he drives his cars through it, then fills the cups and then dumps the cups outside the bath. Outside, he finds the pails with water and splashes with them. He helps Daddy wash the car.

But the one thing he just can’t get over is his drinking cup or water bottle. No matter how many times we’ve told him, smacked his hand, taken away his cup, he still does it. Does what? Intentionally pours out his water. Onto his lap, his sister, his plate, the floor, you name it! Ahhh! But after all is said and done, what’s a little spilled milk water?

Almost Here

Just thought we’d put up a little pic of Ang on the brink of busting! Plus its a pretty cute shot.

Thursday afternoon Bingo’s heartrate was low (90 bpm) after 4 checks with Ludmila (our doctor – picture your 60 year old Ukrainian grandmother with a health license). So after making all the preparations to have the baby, we head to the hospital. After a new checkup there, we’re told the baby is fine, but you will have to come in again every day at lunchtime to make sure.

Friday’s appointment goes well, Saturday’s is good but there are some contractions and dialating has begun. Sunday Angela is dialated to 6 but no contractions. Natalia, the delivery doctor at the hospital says Ang should stay the night. After all, once things get going the baby will be out in just a couple pushes. Yowsers! What’s going to happen? Stay tuned.
