update

So since no one has written on here for a while I thought I'd blog a little blurb (like that mom?) about us even though I frequently talk to most of you (especially spencer lately, which totally makes up for the time I've neglected you, I'm sure).
And he shall be named…. ?ayson Aaron. With a “c” or a “k”. The spelling is still to be determined since I like “c” and Aaron likes “k”. Although Aaron has already informed me that I can choose how to spell it but I’m still a little undecided. But at least we have the rest of the name down. Since there are a plethora (that's for you meg) of ways to spell that name apparently.
So I went to my dr.’s appt. last Friday and as I’m sure you already know, baby ?ayson is no longer breech! Really exciting! Well, actually now that we’ve been to our childbirth classes I’m not so sure what I’d prefer. We learned about both c-section and vaginal births and either way they both seem like they could be totally smooth or total death (of course meaning you just say “ouch”). I guess there’s still a chance baby T could turn back by himself but the dr. said that’s rare.
So we are less than 3 weeks away if he’s on time. But at this point I’d be totally fine if he decides to come late. We need all the time we can get to prepare, organize, shop, practice breathing, saying “ouch” and “you did this to me!”, and cleaning, etc. Of course now that I’m saying this he’ll come early. But I’m still praying he won’t. Especially since I’m filling in for my boss the week before I have the baby so it could potentially be really hazardous for my work if I were to have him early. They would be left extremely short handed. Oh well, I won’t be worrying about that anyway I’m sure.
So I finally hit a milestone that I’ve been waiting for. I can no longer reach forward in the car to pick things up off the floor in front of my seat. It’s physically impossible for me to bend down and get them. Cool huh?! And I can’t get out of the car on my own if I’m holding anything. It’s like I’m really prego! I realize I have been really prego for months now but some things just don’t seem real until you experience the extreme effects of it. If that makes sense. And since I’ve really enjoyed being pregnant I’ve looked forward to and enjoy these new things.
Oh and you should ask Aaron about his hospital labor and delivery bed experience. Lucky guy, he got to try it out at our childbirth class!
So other than a baby coming in to our lives soon, we really have nothing else going on. Or at least everything else is getting pushed out of focus so we can be ready. We got the stroller and car seat last Monday and that was fun to pull out and set up. It definitely seems more real now that we are getting all the baby stuff. Anyway, that’s about it for us. We’ll keep you posted on his arrival! Love you all!
Krista, Aaron, and ?ayson

I'm very excited for little baby ?ayson to arrive!!! Maybe I'll still be unemployed so I'll get to come around a lot and help.
