Needless to say, the 27th week has been crazy busy. Max's game against Lowell went badly (as we expected...remember, Lowell's the #1 team in the state.) However, we had the largest "support Max" turn out this season and marked Colin's first football game!
Saturday was spent with rearranging furniture between my parents house, Kirstyn's house and our own to make room for the nursery (former guest room for all our sleepover buddies to reference). We have a rug down and things cleared out in anticipation for the arrival of our furniture.
Saturday night we hung with our friends Carrie and Dan. Carrie and I met on a 22 hour drive to Mississippi as we volunteered after Katrina. Ionically, we had both been trying to get pregnant since then and we ended up with due dates 11 days apart! Talk about a blessing (and a relief since there's nothing worse than getting pregnant when you know your friend is trying and its not going well....as most of my friends will tell you while we were trying and they were pregnant.) They've been a great means of support since we share a lot of what we're learning with each other.
The rest of the weekend was spent with me both Max and I working all day Sunday. Work is insanely busy and I am trying to do my best to find balance. I am not sure if it's pregnancy or stress or both, but the heartburn is starting.
Yoga kicked my ass this week. Who makes pregnant ladies do PLANK 5 times? We then watched the documentary The Business of Being Born. A very eye opening look into the evolution of OB medicine and how women are being stripped by societal norms of some of the rites of passages of becoming a mother....It's making us rethink a lot of how we're preparing our birth plan. Other than that, Baby K is moving more than ever. The massage therapist today actually saw the blankets moving over my stomach and was laughing. Afterwards, I was blessed to come home to the greatest husband ever, who had grocery shopped, cooked dinner and had it waiting for me! Honestly, I don't know what I did to be so blessed.
That's all for now crew! We hope each of you are doing well!
Love Court, Max & Baby K (and Cali too).
Colin's first football game and a chance for Mindy and Kev to get out of the house!
Josie wearing the jersey that Max scored for her. Josie and Mary are my constant football companion and incidentally make great back rest on bleacher seats.
Mary eating skittles since this is the snack we ate the last/only time the team won. As she was rubbing my stomach in the concession stand line, I caught her talking to my tummy and introducing herself to the baby as his/hers "kind of cousin". So cute!
Kirstyn and her boyfriend Eric made it the game too. Too bad it was Lowell.
Max and I doing a comparison of stomach girth after dessert with friends at Bistro Bella Vita. I finally beat him at something (besides Wii boxing)!

hey love, i can't believe i made the blog! awesome :) oh, and it was only 18 hours to mississippi, wasn't it?
we just watch the business of being born too... really, really good. i'm recommending it to Everyone.
Yea! I am so glad you got the opportunity to watch The Business of Being Born! A really fantastic film! When I saw you next, I was going to ask if you had seen it yet. I'm glad you beat me to it!
Have you settled on a doula yet? Paul told me you your first choice was not available...bummer. I really think having one will be crucial since you are planning to deliver in the hospital but want a natural birth. Business of Being Born says it all!
Hope to see you soon!
