Michelle is back in the hospital... Sunday night she started having contractions at about 6pm (this is the third time she's had contractions right when I would be heading to 6:29. Is God trying to tell me something?) She really did not want to go to the hospital so she kept avoiding calling until almost 9pm. Finally around 9:00 she started bleeding and by 9:30pm we were back at Bloomington Hospital. The kids and I left her there a little before 11pm. She called this morning and Dr. Eden thinks she may have placenta previa. I'll keep you posted about that. For now, he thinks she may have to stay there until the 19th. But we'll see. We've heard that before and she has come home within a few days. So we'll just wait and see. Stay tuned here for more info...



What a week! It was terrific by in large (or is that by and large?). Michelle had very few contractions and was pretty comfortable. I got 0 work done, but had a good time playing Mr. Mom. The kids had a wonderful Halloween and the Crisps joined us for trick-or-treating and dinner. Matthew went to a really fun b-day party at the Allison Jukebox Center in Bloomington. It was so much fun, that he decided to stay for the bitter end of the party and miss his final tennis lesson. Watching the kids play made me wish I was a kid again.



PPE (Pitiful Painting Experience). We've been wanting to paint the upstairs for some time now. About three weeks ago Michelle picked "Japanese Garden" as the perfect color. This weekend I spent every waking minute painting (I'm almost done). The bad news is that within four hours of starting Michelle was pretty certain she didn't like the color. However, she isn't 100% certain she doesn't like it, and we've already bought the paint. So it's pretty much a no-win situation. I've spent 20 hours or so painting, she isn't sure she likes it, but neither of us are excited about going and buying more paint and trying again. Especially considering the fact that painting the stairwell requires renting scaffolding and is a lot of work. Yuck. I'll post some photos up here later today. I left my camera at the hospital last night.
