Thanks everyone for your inquiries, but we still are not parents yet. We are still living day-to-day on pins and needles. That Feb. 4 due date is looking more and more accurate!
Today is Brian’s Chinese birthday, so that would make for a nice birthday gift.
Kristin finished her last day of work on Tuesday, and now she has three months off. Though she feels some regret for not working a few more days since the baby hasn’t arrived yet, at least now she can be in the comfort of our home rather than be on her feet all day at UW Hospital.
Plus, Brian can get to her more quickly at home vs. at UW Hospital.
In the meantime, we’re going to probably add another video soon. Episode 2 was supposed to take place from the hospital, but that will likely be episode 3 now.
When the baby is born, we’ll be spending a lot more time at home, obviously. Kristin especially, since she is taking three months of maternity leave.
So what do we have planned to keep us occupied, outside of taking care of the baby?
As many of you know, Brian is involved in everything and will find it hard to cut back on all the organizations to which he belongs. Among his many projects planned, Brian will study for his Accredition in Public Relations (sort of like a Master’s in public relations that gives him the letters “APR” after his name) and begin brewing his own beer (a Christmas gift from Kristin).
Kristin plans on watching Brian change plenty of poopie diapers and sampling his home brew. She looks forward to geting back in shape by resuming a couple of her favorite activities–biking and jogging. In addition, she looks forward to taking the baby for walks around the neighborhood (once the temperature warms up).
Together, we’ll catch up on seasons 3-6 of “24” and play some more “Rock Band” on the Wii. Visitors are always welcomed!
Hey everyone!
You’ve reached Brian & Kristin Plus One. Stay up-to-date with everything surrounding the birth of our son. Here’s a timeline as a refresher:
We found out we were pregnant back in May and began announcing to our friends and family beginning on July 12 (our five-year anniversary). At our 20-week appointment on Sept. 15, we found out we were having a boy.
Now we’re a short while away from our due date, Feb. 4. We have everything ready, from the carseat (in Brian’s car), to the baby’s room (he’s got so much stuff already) to everything in between.
We welcome your comments. This site is for you, after all.
Love,
Brian and Kristin
