Here’s our first mighty blog entry. When blogs started to become popular a few years back, I never really got into it. Not sure I saw the purpose of an online diary, but now I see it as a Wiki page for friends and family. Since I use Wiki quite heavily at work, it’s kind of a natural tool for me to use, but just wierd that we’re writing about our personal lives. I also guess we’re using Windows Spaces cuz it’s free…<\/p>\n
So we’re officially a week away from baby. I guess Evonne’s nesting instinct is starting cuz we’ve turned everything in our townhouse upside down. The big thing was moving the office from upstairs to the breakfast nook in our kitchen. While moving the desk down the stairs… I pulled something in my back, and the first thought was “wow, I’ve never pulled that muscle before… owww!” Second thought was “supporting e during labour is really going to hurt with this bad back” No target or driving range for me \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Anyways it’s all moved downstairs and hooked up again. If you ever get the chance to pull your computer apart- USB cables, microphones, scanner, printer, power cables, speakers, KB\/Mouse, etc… it’s staggering the amount of hardware it takes just to surf the web, download and listen to music, and email. I had a lot of fun zap strapping cables together so it’s not a rats nest. I guess the same goes for the home theatre system.<\/p>\n
Ok, so e is doing well. She has a non-stress test later this week. We’re not sure why this is scheduled, but it’s a measurement of the baby’s response to stimulus. So baby is on a heartbeat monitor… and a noise to wake baby is introduced. Heartbeat should then go up… or something to that effect.<\/p>\n
Today we’re going to clear everything off the upstairs floor, vacuum the carpet, and shampoo the 4 years of cat puke, drink spills, hairballs, and other yummy items. Hopefully with the hot weather everything will dry quickly. Thanks to Uncle Albert for lending the cleaner to us.<\/p>\n
