Daddy Post

Status update: 4 weeks to go-time.

We've had 2 awesome showers now; one in Tulsa and one in the Fort. We got some great stuff too (Thank-you, everybody!). More about those below. Jack apparently has 2 modes: sleeping or boiling. I say boiling because that is the best way I can describe what Kathryn's stomach looks like while he's flailing around.

I now believe in Cosmic Karma: the idea that what you've done in life, good or ill, will be revisited on you. All the squirrely-ness I had as a kid seems like it will soon be revisited on me. Bring it on, though. We're not 100% there, but we have put up and organized most Jack's stuff. Kathryn has been awesome about organizing drawers and figuring out what gets stored, or hanged up or whatever. There are so many clothes it makes my head spin, but she somehow keeps track of it all.

It has been a busy last few weeks for the Kinder family! 2 weeks ago, Kathryn received her pin for nursing school- there are pics posted below- and her fam came in town and we had a great time celebrating. Also, We had a shower here in Fort Worth last week that my mom and sisters came for. We had a great time with them: God bless them they got up early to drive here so we could go to railhead. I'm glad my family has their priorities straight. I didn't go to this shower, but I hear it was a blast.

Our last dr.'s appointment went well. Everything looks great, and for the second appointment in a row Jack kicked the doppler when the nurse was listening to the heartbeat! Apparently he does not like people poking on him or invading his space. I can sympathize... We will have a sonogram next visit (wednesday) and they will estimate the size of baby and check Kathryn's fluid levels to make sure everything is still good.

My Family visiting. awwwwwww.

Kathy's Pinning. She's so much smarter than me. This ceremony referenced "Diaphoretic Episodes." I just stopped trying to understand at that point.

Baby shower in Tulsa. We've actually had 2 diaper "cakes." I guess they're called cakes. that's actually kinda gross sounding. anyway, we apprecited the time and thoguht put into both of them. We love you all!

Pictures, Dr. Appt., and Tulsa shower!

Here are the pics from Austin as promised- maybe a little late though :) The one of Jon and I shows a little bit of the beautiful hill country view from our room. We had a dr.'s appointment this past week and everything is great! We scheduled our next two appointments, which seems crazy because I will be 36 weeks by then! We spent last weekend in Tulsa and had a wonderful time with family! We had a shower at church there and Jon's mom and sisters really went above and beyond! It was so fun and special. She made the cutest diaper cake (with eco-friendly diapers!), which can be seen in the pictures below. We were blessed with great gifts and spent yesterday organizing all of them in the nursery, hanging shelves and hanging pictures. We have another busy week ahead because I have pinning (the graduation ceremony for nursing students) on Friday! My family is coming in on Thursday to celebrate, then Jon's family will be coming the next weekend for a Fort Worth shower put on by my amazing friends! Enjoy the pics and we will update again soon!

Here we are on the balcony!

This is me on the patio of a great barbecue place- we did not eat outside though- it was 102 degrees...



Here I am at the shower with part of the amazing set-up by my mother-in -law and the last one is of Jon and I at the shower...
