I visited with Rachelle by myself today for about 2 hours. It was a nice visit and we discussed names. We do have names but there are a few things we haven't totally agreed on yet so I better not share them yet. I put a picture of her on her blog. The picture was taken about a week ago and she seems a bit bigger than that now. Also, just so you know, she doesn't normally wear all those fancy clothes because that would be really inconvenient for all of the monitoring and stuff she has to do. However, she wanted to look her best and I don't blame her for that.
Other than that, I don't have too much to report on Rachelle. She is really doing fine and seems to be resigned to the fact that the doctor isn't going to budge on the 34 week goal unless it is an emergency. She says, however, that almost every night the nurses seem to be on the verge of declaring an emergency because of the contraction issue. It might be that one of these nights might actually become an emergency. Tonight, I guess she was having contractions that were fairly close to each other and were making everyone nervous. However, I haven't heard anything yet so that is good.
In other news, I just have to report that Riley was brave enough today to dive head first into the pool. He first did it on the side but then got up to the diving board and did it. I was really happy with him because I knew it was a scary thing for him to do. Also, I was a springboard diver in high school so I felt like maybe this was the start of something big. Kaiya continues to swim like a 'fishy' but can't seem to keep her head above water long enough to breath when she is in the deep part. This means that every time she jumps in, I have to be right there to pull her up. It makes me a little nervous but I think she will figure it out soon.

Hey Jays, what a great dad you are. Pretty soon your children will be as numerous as the fish of the sea. So It's a good thing that their learning to swim. Mom
