preparing for the next two weeks

when getting ready for bed the other night, ryker decided he wanted to wear his old hat. he wouldn't let us take it off and ended up sleeping with it on. lately we have been enjoying and also struggling with his increasingly obstinate personality!




graham goes in for ACL and LCL surgery on monday. this is a very ‘sore’ subject for graham because he loves to ski and play soccer and now he can't ski or play on his club soccer team for a year due to the intensive recovery process. the accident happened when graham was skiing with a friend last month on an amazing powder day. graham jumped into a chute and heard two popping sounds. he wasn't in immediate pain but noticed his leg flopped out from under him. knowing the powder code of “no friends on powder days” (which, i learned early on in our relationship when i was slowing him down on a powder day so he suggested i hang out at the lodge for a while), graham caught a bus ride home before driving himself to the instacare.

after his surgery, he will be on crutches for at least two weeks, which is exactly when our baby girl is due; my c-section is scheduled for april 18. needless to say, it is a very busy time for us! with baby girl coming soon, i finally decided to take a picture of my growing belly. and by the way, we still do not have a name. our goal to is to have at least several names by the time we go to the hospital.

Yes, I remember your beautiful pregnant belly from when you were pregnant before. If we lined both of us up and took belly pics, it would be HILARIOUS how much bigger I am than you - but I guess that's what I get for gaining 50 lbs. I guess I am just jealous :) because you are one of those women that stay so cute and slender and beautiful during pregnancy. I, on the other hand, do not do pregnancy well at all!!! I can't believe Graham has to go through that surgery and right before the baby comes! Man, that's going to be rough, I am sorry.

LOL - "no friends on powder days."

Let us know if there is any last minute stuff you guys need help with that you can't do (due to pant fumes or whatever) and Grammer can't do (due to being a couch potato bitch or whatever).
