Due Dates

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: October 31, 2007

No trick or treat tonight, we’re vegging on the couch at home after a doctor visit where we confirmed a final date for pregnancy. The last ultrasound we had placed the due date for tomorrow, but if we don’t see Charlotte in a week, an induction is scheduled for the 7th. Hopefully Charlotte will treat [...]

No Baby Yet

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: October 25, 2007

No baby pictures yet, since there’s no baby… yet. She’s still twitching in Kelly’s occasionally contracting uterus. We’ve got about a week until the due-date still, so she’s technically allowed can take her time, but we are (Kelly most of all) eager to move past pregnancy and officially become new parents.

Kelly’s contractions increased, so we decided to… panic? Nah. We played video games until midnight and slept – the contractions were at 20 minutes apart and less than 30 seconds in duration, so no hospital run last night. This morning, they appear to be picking up intensity and pace a little, so it’s shaping up [...]

He was in town barely more than a month ago to see Mom, and even at 91 still the heartiest man I’ve ever known. Two weeks ago doctors diagnosed him with colon cancer after a visit for abdominal issues, [...]

It is Hot

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: August 6, 2007

I dislike this weather. What this doesn’t show is the humidity we currently also have, which contributes to keeping me from going outside, let alone riding the bike. We rode briefly on Sunday morning, but I didn’t feel good about it afterwards. I’ll have to visit the fitness room instead this week. Someday I’d like [...]

Moved In!

By Ryan Stephenson | Published: July 8, 2007

Thanks to many friends’ assistance, Kelly and I are officially moved into our condo in the redeveloped Ely Walker building in Downtown, St. Louis. Many thanks to Sean, Jim, Steve, Amanda, Hans, Kurt, Amy, Henry, and Kelly (you’re probably the only people reading this anyway). I hope you’re not too sore, because you made the [...]
