Mommy and Big Sister News

First off, a Mommy Update

We went to the Anesthesiologist office today and got an 'education' on what that was all about. If we come in to the hospital at 7 cm or more, it's a 'no-go' on an epidural. If, however, we're at 6 or less, that's fine and it's given (generally) around 5 cm. Hey, I was listening! :-)

Our next appointment with our OB Doc is on Thursday. We'll have an ultrasound, see our Doctor, and get hooked to the monitoring equipment. I mean my wife will get hooked up to the monitoring equipment. I'm guessing Mary Katherine will be in the 8+ lb. range on Thursday.


Big Sister Update

Mary Katherine's big sister, Kelsey, ran in a Cross Country match here in Cookeville today. Several teams from across Middle Tennessee participated. One of them was Central Middle School from Murfreesboro, TN. They are one of the top programs in the state. Kelsey finished 4th overall out of 53 runners, she was third on her team (which had the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place runners). Her team (in it's first year) finished first in the event while Central finished second. Central had finished first in the last two matches that Kelsey's school had participated. I'm really proud of Kelsey and her effort. She posted a time of 11:50, her fastest time ever on her home course.

Loved catching up with your blog. I am getting excited about your upcoming due date. Loved the bedding and loved the 3-D ultrasound picture of her. It sounds like you are prepared for the delivery. I cannot wait!

Congratulations Kelsey!!
