Medical Questionnaire

Just finished an hour and a half answering a bunch of medical questions. What is pre-registration for?

Merian Medical Online Nursery

Of course I don’t expect anything to be posted here until well after lunch time!

Very early

We have an apt this morning at 6AM to start Christine’s induction.  I just called and they have room so we will be driving there in about 40 minutes.  I have been awake since 3:45AM – can’t sleep – thank God for tea!  I will probably wake up Christine in about 20 minutes.

 

So I spent some time reading about ways to start labor naturally and being induced (Too many horror stories).

I do have some worries though, neither of us like the idea of having Christine induced.  We both hoped that things would just start on their own before today.  Please keep us in your prayers.

 

Oh! And I have a few shout-outs!

– To Grandpa (my dad) who took the boyz home last night (have fun and good luck!) – He is going to be worn out!

- To MeMa (Christine’s Mother) who has been here since LAST Friday – thank you for all the cleaning, cooking, laundry and support!

Jacob Selling Advocados

So after he finished roadside seling, he went door-to-door.  I told him a good price would be 2 advocados for $1 and 5 for $2.  Then I hear him in fornt of a house selling 1 advocado for $2.  What a scalper!

Baby coming soon

It looks like the baby will come tomorrow. Christine is scheduled to be induced at 6am.

Catapult vs Tribuchet

Its really fun being a handyman dad during the science fair. Yes even though Jacob is only in first grade, at this charter school he to must participate with a science project or a model. He wanted to do a model of a catapult.

So we went to the best video authority I could think of for catapult's - the 3rd movie out of ht eLord of the Rings Trilogy, Return of the King. Not only did Jacobget to see catapults in action but he also got to see trebuchets - which really got his atention. This last weekend we bulit one and he learned so many lessons: leverage, counterweights, saftey, and triangulation - not to mention the importance of planning and assembling things methodically.

The best part is on Monday we got to use is and launched over 10 ballons until it broke. Check out these pictures!
