Who’s in and who’s out?
Here’s the predictions from the window outside of my classroom. Out of the game: Harry, David, Olivia & Kenton (Kristin’s kids), Lisandro, Rosalia, Buddy & Karen, Laurette, Lori, Cynthia… We’ll see about Leon, Roz and Margelis today!
UCHC Shower
I wasn’t present for this one, but the staff at the Neag Cancer Center decided that Ellen (my mom) needed a shower too! How awesome are our coworkers?
Bump Room Update
Here are a couple of the latest shots from Bump’s room. As you can see, I finally finished the chalkboard! There is another panel below with a little bit of “wet nose art” by Calle. I’ll put up that picture later. I still owe many photos and posts about the wonderful things the staff …
Mathematical odds
Do the odds of labor increase with the inconvenience factor? Jeremy and Brian are renting a van to move furniture down to Norton today. Ideally we would like him to complete this task before the arrival of the baby. Murphy’s law says that labor will start at the most inconvenient time, so that would put …
Dinner out
We went out to dinner tonight at our favorite local haunt, Vee Vee. After a tasty dinner and a delicious dessert Jeremy decided to take the route home that was the bumpiest to see if he could “get things moving.” It worked for Liz, my sister, but we’ll have to see if it works for …
Pregnancy stereotypes – again

Waiting…
This afternoon we met a second pediatrician and may have found our match. It’s been great to have a pre-screened list from Ron to get us started on our search and I’m glad we were able to do this before Bump arrived. In my mind for the last month or so I had envisioned us …
Wondering…
Considering I’m not able to sleep through the night it’s amazing how much I was able to sleep this morning. I wonder if it’s the baby or the cold. In my sleepy state I’m wondering if Calle will know when I’m in labor before I do. Some dogs can sense seizures ahead of time, so …
No Leap Bump
To Jeremy, Brian, Alicia, Richie, Rosalia & anyone else who was rooting for a leap day baby, My apologies. While I guess it is still theoretically possible, the odds of the baby being born before midnight are slim to none. You’ll have to settle for a March birthdate. Kate & Bump
What a difference a week makes…
I haven’t posted as much as I had hoped to recently. Obviously family events led to other priorities. That said, a lot of progress has happened on the Bump front. On my front Bump has dropped quite a bit and several people have commented on how much bigger I look in just the past week. I …
