Several Quick Updates

Liam Clinton Wilson
He's still growing! at an alarming rate now days. His muscles are clearly developing. He's kicking K's bladder, pelvis, spin, vagina... You name it, he's beating on it. On Monday, we had a little scare when K called the doc to ask about these Braxton Hicks contractions. After describing them to the doc, the doc told her to rush to the OB Triage. They hooked her up to all of the heart monitors, ultrasound, doppler... everything looked normal. They thought maybe she had been over-exerting herself or perhaps not getting enough water. We're tracking them now, anymore than three in one hour is bad. Right now, it's been pretty rare. We'll be keeping a close watch on things.

New Doc
The great news is that we recently changed our OBGYN. Probably the best decision we've made. Our old doctor, while totally competent and very nice, had terrible bedside manner. She was always on her way to the next patient. From the time she entered the exam room, to the time she left, her hand was on the door, and she never even asks the most obvious of questions, "how are you feeling?". New doc is heads above the old. Energetic, engaged, informative, nice, friendly nurses, receptionists... And to top it off, she called K the next morning to see how the OB triage trip went. K is way happy, and that makes me happy.

Nashville/Gatlinburg/Smokey Mountiains
Kristina and I spent our first anniversary in Tennessee. We had an amazing time, saw unbelievable views (pictures to come soon), heard great music, hiked the Appalachian Trail (ten minutes of it anyway), ate, walked around Gatlinburg... Great time, really.

iPhone
I never knew how much time I could waste playing with my phone. Seriously, every minute I get (even while sitting on the toilet), I'm browsing apps, updating my facebook page, emailing, etc...

Nursery
We setup Liam's nursery on Sunday. It's looking great. We decided to buy a crib and changing table from Target. So far, we're totally satisfied with that decision. In total, we saved $600 over the ones we liked at Babies R Us and only lost a little bit quality. Fair trade in my opinion.

Sympathy???
And finally. I (Matt) have gained 15 pounds in the last couple months. Could be some sympathy weight gain. Or the beer I've been drinking. Or all of the tv I've been watching. Or that I'm forced to eat K's leftovers. Or that I'm just finally getting old. Whatever the reason, I think I'm gonna have to start running again...
