Dear family,
It's been a long time, but we've been very busy. Preparations for the baby are taking up a lot of our time. The last few weeks have been great. We've gotten to see many of you. We were in Connecticut for the Duval family reunion. It was a lot of fun. The weather was great. We went sailing, kayaking, ate lots of good food. But most of all, it was great to see everybody. We were very touched by all the gifts we received at the rubber ducky baby shower. The rubber ducky theme was really fun. The queen and artist ducky are looking forward to the arrival of prince ducky.
The baby shower in Minnesota was also fantastic. And it was great to be able to celebrate Karen's birthday at the same time. We're excited to fill the scrapbook with little orb's firsts. Kjersti had to borrow an extra suitcase to bring all of your generous gifts home. And the Combi pod bouncer has arrived. Thank you so much aunts and uncles. Our baby is going to be pimping with his iPod jams.
We did the child birthing class at the hospital last Saturday. We watched the video of a woman giving birth. Since then Kjersti has had what I call: the 1000 yards stare. Vietnam vet style. We did some work on the birthing ball. And Alex learned how to be supportive. Using phrases such as: you can do it, it's going to be OK, and we're going to get through this together.
We're getting ready to move. Just up five floors in the building. But it's a two bedroom apartment and we're going to get the babies room ready. Our new address will be the same only apartment 14 C.
We'll keep you posted. It won't be long now.
Love,
Kjersti and Alex
