Baby Update - February 6, 2010

Happy winter weekend everyone! Doesn’t look like we are going to get any snow in Charlotte this weekend, just a lot of cold, damp rain.

As you can imagine we are counting down the days now until our little guy arrives. Less than a month away from his March 3, 2010 due date (please be on time, please be on time). Our last check up with the doctor was this past Tuesday and all reports are good. Kaden’s heart was beating at a healthy 155 beats per minute and he’s head down in the proper position to make his debut.

As far as mommy…well let’s just say we are all trying to maintain a sense of humor in the Marcum house. Everything is healthy and as it should be, it’s just dealing with all the “fun stuff” that comes with the last part of pregnancy. Daily challenges start with lopping out of bed and run the range of picking up dropped articles thru putting on shoes and everything in between. All part of the experience though, and most importantly temporary.

We have been busy this past week washing, organizing and putting away all of the amazing gifts we received at our baby shower last weekend. We have to express a huge Thank You to the Dooling’s (Aunt Cassie and Unlce Jose) for putting together Marcum Baby Bash 2010, then basically putting it together again when the weather messed up everything. Thank you, of course, to our friends and family for braving the highly unusual winter snow/ice storm to come out and celebrate with us. The weather didn’t let everyone come out that wanted to be there, but we felt the love just the same. Yes, if you are counting, this was our second baby shower and coincidentally the second time it’s been obstructed by record setting winter storms.

In addition to the great baby shower, we also had a visit with Aunt Amy. Aunt Amy braved the weather and flew down from Indianapolis to hang out for the weekend, attend the baby shower and bring lots of great gifts for her nephew. We are sorry we couldn’t provide more hospitable weather for her visit (and her flight home) but really enjoyed having her for the weekend. Kiesel was highly upset when she left, so don’t know what she’s going to do on the next visit about splitting her attention between Kiesel and Kaden.
