Nothing Normal

If you know us at all, you know how frequently I say, "Nothing normal ever happens in our family."

Today's 24-week check-up was good, very good. Everything went smoothly until Natasha's blood pressure was low. That would seem bad, except that our doctor prescribed her to have caffeine! She recommended coffee, especially. I was elated; Natasha just looked at me as if to say, "Don't gloat." Who knew that after six years of attempting to make Natasha a coffee drinker that one day her doctor would prescribe it? While our prenatal coach says to limit caffeine, the doctor says, "Not now." This is indeed a good, good day. Maybe I'll eventually find a Keurig coffee maker in my home after all some day?

Ahhh....a prescription for Mr. Keurig. How wonderful an idea! I wonder if your medical insurance could possibly cover that as a necessary expense?

I agree with Kristi...an updated belly shot is in order.

Glad to hear that you're doing well.

Ah the Keurig. To house sit with a Keurig again...

That is pretty funny re: the caffeine.

We miss you.

Bring on the coffee! :) I agree with Kristi; Natasha getting hopped up on caffeine would make a good subject for many hilarious blog entries! :P I think we will need some of the play-by-play! ;)

And of course, we need to see the belly! :)

Why coffee? There are so many other ways to get caffine, why does the doc want to subject her to such a vile, vile substance like coffee? ;-)

And, yes, we need to see that belly!

mmm...here here for the belly shot.

Natasha- welcome to the coffee family. ;-) you should come out west and then you'd get a taste of the good stuff.
My new favorite is a Coconut Classic Cappuccino. So good!

I miss you too!

Lynn Erskine, you need to get takin pictures of your cute little wife and your growing baby and put them on here for us to see!!!!!!!!!!!
Every pregnant woman needs to be told she is radiant and gorgeous, and while we could go ahead and tell Natasha that she is (simply because we know she could be nothing but), she might not believe it unless we saw a picture of her...
so there you go...
it's for your wife's own good.
PLEASE???????
Starving for a Natasha belly shot!
