Updates from MI

Evening Folks,

Hope all is going well for you. So a lot has happened since we last updated the blog here, so away we go. Lat Friday, 6/13/08, the hardwood floor was refinished in the baby's room and on Saturday 6/14 we had our first shower. We got lots of goodies for the baby so thank you to all of you who got something for us, it will all come in handy.

I am posting pictures of the nursery progress to this link:

So go check it out and let us know what you think. Yesterday, 6/17/08, Ami spent about 4-5 hours on the Neonatal Triage floor at Beamont Hospital getting 1000 mL IV drip. It was tons of fun let me tell you! We go to the doctor for our last "month" check up on 6/23 so there should be news that comes from that too. After this visit we start getting more frequent visits, yeah! For those inquiring minds who want to know, the range of the baby's heart beat yesterday was about 130 bpm to 150 bpm, mostly around 140. My mom seems to think it is going to be a boy, she has her methods being a veteran OB Nurse, but we still don't and won't know definitively until little Kipf is born. Well I have rambled now and it's time for me to go work on my Wii golf skills before I won't have any free time. Look for the next update on 6/23.

Oh yeah one last thing, our nephew, Aiden, is now up to approximately 3 lbs and doing well. He is getting stronger and stronger. He cheered the Red Wings onto victory when the clinched the cup (working on getting the picture to post) and has had a couple of minor set backs, but that's to be expected. His mom and dad were told the earliest he might be able to go home is around July 10th or 15th but it will more than likely be August some time. I am looking forward to letting the 2 cousins meet and start playing. Now I am done for real so have a great night and a wonderful day!
