Happy Valentine's Day

It's taken me long enough to finally post all the pictures I took from Kristin's Mass shower but I finally have! They're off to the right in a slide show. If you want to see them larger, just click on the slideshow.

Not much going on with the Favry's family. Another busy week with traveling back and forth to Rhode Island both Monday and Tuesday and then up to work Wednesday and Thursday. It was nice not having to get up this morning and drive anywhere! Next week we have a rest from classes and doctor's appointments due to President's Day but the week following, right back into the grind. We have two more birthing classes left and then one breast feeding class before classes are all done. As weird as this may sound, I am actually enjoying our birthing class. Ja-Lynn, the doula who leads class is really good and the other couples are fun. We seems to laugh through the 2 hours. In a couple of more week, we start going to the doctor weekly. Kristin thinks she will be going early, like around end of March. I am starting to feel that way too. Jackson, however, likes the idea of coming on April 1st. When we asked him what day he was coming while reading off the dates, he kicked on April 1st, so who knows. Shall we start a poll again with the lucky winner getting a home cooked meal? I think we may....

Below is an updated picture of Kristin at week 34ish. Kristin is not to happy about the picture but I think she looks great! Jackson seems to be growing a lot, which is great because I can feel him move often. Last night he was going crazy. I kept on pushing in and he in returned punched back...too cute! Kristin and I have been reading to Jackson every night. We have been reading two books a night, a Sandra Boynton book and one other from our collection. Our favorite book so far is "The Bears in the Bed and the Great Big Storm." We love all the Sandra Boynton books, especially "Snuggle Puppy." The other book we like is "How Do I Love You," by P.K. Hallinan.



2 more weeks left and I begin my new job and let me tell you, I cannot wait! Since January, work has been crazy. It still will be in my new role but a different type of crazy. After 6 years, the change is welcomed. Next Friday I have to go to NJ for a 2 hour meeting. I will spend 4 hours driving down and probably 7 hours driving back for 2 hours of a meeting! The meeting ends right during rush hour, so that will make the drive through NJ, NY and 95 in CT a great one. Then, the following day is out CT shower, which I am looking forward to. Hopefully the weather holds out. For those who went to the Mass shower and are coming to the CT one, the games are changed up a little. We will be playing, guess Kristin's weight and how many buck-buck eggs can she eat in 5 minutes!

What's everyone doing for V-Day? Kristin and I are going to hang around the house I believe. I think we might even spice things up with a trip to Walmart for some grocery shopping. Walmart is always the spot for a good time! Tonight I think we are running to Babies'R'Us. Our Jeep stroller came in, so we need to pick it up. I think we will get a lot of use out of this stroller because we are both looking forward for going on walks.

I leave you with a picture of Ms. Monroe enjoying an afternoon snack while laying in the sun. Tough life indeed! Have a great Valentine's Day Everyone!
