“Oh, Baby, the places you’ll go!”
Posted by Kristen on Jun 10, 2009 in Child Development, Faith, Family, Family Fun, Parenting | 14 commentsBaby, oh, baby the places you’ll go!
The worlds you will visit!
The friends you will know!
The horn-tooting apes
From the Jungles of Jorn,
Will hoot a big toot
On the day you are born
….
You will find from your very
first moment in space
you’re surrounded by new friends
all over the place!!
…
While you are busy growing
we’re all busy counting
the days till we meet you-
excitement is mounting!
…
You’ll find this world’s a great place to begin,
but it could use some help-
which is where you come in.
So now, As my voice burble-urps in your ear-
with a bump-thumpy sound that is not very clear-
the words I am saying you hear in your heart,
and know that I wish you the very best start.
It’s a scrumptulous world and it’s ready to greet you,
And as for myself…
well…
I can’t wait to meet you!

That’s right. We are expecting! I am just a couple days shy of 12 weeks. It has been a rather eventful 12 weeks with the discovery that my placenta was pulling away from the uterus and then my time in the hospital that we mentioned on our previous post. I have been on “taking it easy” status per doctors orders to avoid bed rest (by the way this isn’t possible with an almost 2 year old!). We went back today to make sure things were improving and for our 12 week appt. I still have the places of concern but the doctor thinks they have improved. I am still on restricted activity but I am not having to go on bedrest which was the next step if there was no improvement. He looked to see if he could tell if it was a boy or girl but it wasn’t clear enough with the legs crossed so we will try to see next time!
We shared with some of you in November that we had miscarried. We decided it would be best to save our news this time until a bit further along. I think until people experience miscarriage themselves it is hard to know how difficult it is. In the future I might take more time to reflect on miscarriage but for now we are simply rejoicing that this baby is continuing to grow and thrive! Pray with us that the hematomas will resolve completely and that the doctor will reassure us that we are finally out of the woods!
We expect the baby to debut around Christmas! So, another DC baby. The timing has worked out well in that we can still do homeleave and then we get to be settled and in a home by the time the baby comes. We will then get to be close to family and friends until the baby is about 6 months old. We are looking forward so much to this new season!
We’re very excited for you guys and will pray that things continue to improve and go well for the entire pregnancy!
I didn’t know you had miscarried- I’m so sorry about that. Take care!

So excited for you guys! I didn’t know you guys had miscarried either…really sorry to hear about that. I can’t imagine what that must have been like. We are glad to hear everything is looking good and that baby Kolb is doing well!

Thanks Sarah. The miscarriage was a hard time. To be honest I think we are still processing it! I will write more about it someday because I feel so strongly that there is so much to learn through it. I hope none of our friends have to go through it! But if they do I hope they all have us on speed dial to be of support!

That’s wonderful news — just sad it means I won’t get to see all of you in Friendswood at Christmas. I’ll definitely be expecting a webcam visit at Jo Beth’s!

We found You!!!!! I can’t wait to sit down and read so many things. Jackson is adorable, and looks so intelligent! He looks like he knows a lot and let you know at theproper time!
And we are thrilled about the new baby. Take good care of yourselves and enjoy these days of preparation. How great it is for your generation, we had our children whenever theycame. I can imagine that your mothers have their Decembers all planned. How great that you will be near Steph and Ryan.
Praying for you all the time.
Love,
Grandma and Grandpa.
