Happy Halloween! Check out our pumpkin:
We’re calling him “Jimmy”… it’s sort of an inside joke. Maybe I’ll let you in on it one day; but it’s not very “PC” for those of you who subscribe to that drivel. Anyhow; since this is our first Halloween in our new house we’re not sure how many trick-or-treaters we’ll get, or even if we’ll get any at all. Our neighbors have some church thing they go to, so they weren’t able to tell us either so if we don’t get any we have about 6 or 8 bags of candy that we can gorge ourselves on. All I can say is be safe when you go out, and make sure that all children have a responsible adult with them. Also make sure to have flashlights, etc. Sheesh; I sound like a dad already!
We thought we’d be having the baby today, but so far no… although I did leave work early because Kimberly is currently having some stronger contractions how. She isn’t making the cranky face the nurses and doctors told me about (as an indication of when to bring her in), so we are holding out now. This morning we had to go and get her BP taken again to see what’s up, and even though it was a little higher than the last visit, the nurse and the on-call Dr. (ours in in the OR all day today) said we should wait until they get the rest of the lab work back (tomorrow AM) before saying to induce Kimberly. It’s frustrating, exciting, tiring, and confusing all at once.
For Kimberly it’s good that we aren’t (as far as we know so far) having Evan today because of the whole Halloween thing. But then again, my friend Shawrk brought up that if we have him tomorrow then he’ll have the same birthday as when the zombies from “Night of the Living Dead” attacked. I, however, from the beginning, bet that Evan would be born on the 2nd, so that’s what I’m rooting for. You see, I’m an Aries, so I like to win.
