Real True Actual Headlines

 

Morgan has been told to stay off her feet for a while, so we have been sitting with her at her house during the days.  Morgan and baby are fine - mom's blood pressure is a little high when she's standing, but okay when she's lying down, so doctor says she has to lie down.  All her tests and tests of the baby are otherwise excellent.

 

Morgan says this should be like a gift - doctor-prescribed sloth!  But after only a couple of days of it, she's already going a little stir crazy.  She can sit up, walk around, even drive herself if need be, but she's encouraged to stay horizontal as much as possible.

 

Karen had the same thing when Morgan was in the making, and I guess it's really common in late pregnancy.  We have been keeping her company; the truth is, it's nice to feel useful, as we can run to the store, fix meals, etc. for her while Aaron's at work.  After we've been at the Kunze's house for a couple of hours, though, we're all horizontal and snoozin'!

 

Smidgen is great.  He / she likes to show off when we're there by poking mom from within.  I haven't heard any talking back yet, but mom and dad do plenty of talking to the baby, so I wouldn't be surprised.

 

The weather here has mellowed out really nicely for the Labor Day weekend.  I hope you all have a nice holiday.

 

Love you guys!

 

Mike and Karen
