Scott: Went to Thailand in June for a documentary project. Came home in July and has been organizing and editing this film non stop. Also studying daily for the GRE and preparing his writing sample and personal essay for PhD applications in the Fall. Expanding his vocabulary through flash cards and showing off his 10 point words at every opportunity. Pumping iron on a regular basis. Hiding chocolate bars from his wife. Editing online material for the 2009 season of Project Runway. Other freelance jobs in the works. Cooking, cleaning, fetching water and various material goods for his big, pregnant wife. Used the phrase "a bad case of the runs" in a talk he gave at church. Jogging. Cycling.
Whitney: Waited for Scott to come home from Thailand. Obtained a double chin. Spent some non-emergency time in the hospital for fetal monitoring. On bed rest for 2 weeks now. Working from home in a reclined position (kind of like a beached whale :) . Coping with the insatiable desire to: A) drink water 24-7, B) organize, reorganize and re-reorganize, C) make lists, D) discuss organization ideas with Scott. Reading labor/delivery and post-natal information with Scott. Watching HGTV. Thinking about screen printing without being able to do anything about it. Budgeting. Dreaming of having a car. Tossing and turning.

a few days after i left the hospital, i made a list of recovery tips. let me know if you want them. no one warns you about recovery. it's a killer.
you guys will be awesome parents! you'll love it. Its so crazy, but awesome! By the way we love project runway... thats pretty great.
You are awesome Whitney! Just think of this little person that you will be holding in your arms sooner then you probably think! You and Scott inspire me. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself.
Scott, don't hide the chocolate bars from Whitney! If the baby wants a chocolate bar, he should have one. You will be such an awesome dad!
I love you guys! We hope to see you soon!
be careful with the lists, organizing and hgtv, brad says your turning into me--the vote is still out as to if that is a good thing or not :) --K
