Grace and I spent the last couple nights alone together, because Michelle was away at the funeral for the father of an old friend. I realized in those few nights how much I can't do. Tubby night was a big-time adventure, but it paled in comparison to hair time in the morning. Grace was crying big tears yesterday morning when she realized that mom wasn't going to be there to put her in a pony tail. So I made a valiant effort, but by the time we arrived at preschool the pony tail was gone. Thankfully her preschool teacher was willing to help out.
On the baby front, everything is going well. Michelle is definitely feeling better the last couple weeks. We're scheduled to get the amnio test done the last week of April, and it's only supposed to take 7-10 days for us to get the results on whether the baby has SMA or not. Those will be a nervous few weeks, but we're prepared for the news either way.
Grace's names for the baby change daily. For awhile it was Dylan for a boy and Peppermint for a girl, but then it was Josh for a boy and Emily for a girl. Then, on the way to preschool this morning she told me the new baby should be named Pepito, regardless of whether it was a boy or girl. I'm not sure how much of a say she'll have in the final decision, although sadly it will probably be more of a say than I'll have.

Just checked the site for the first time in awhile and noticed the new design, which looks really good. My sister Beth started Race 4 Grace and the website a couple years ago, then last year Michelle's brother Austin began running the website. He does a great job, and hopefully we'll get him some current pictures to get on the site (now that basketball season is over, our lives return to more of a state of normalcy!).
I feel some momentum building for RAGBRAI. My good college buddy Pat is planning on riding a couple days, and that will surely cause others to want to ride. Michelle is definitely planning on being around, although her pregnancy will keep her from riding this year. On that note, we're planning on getting our new baby tested for SMA via amnio testing. If we stay on what we think is the schedule, we should know sometime in May whether our new little one has SMA or not. We are praying every day for a healthy baby, but we're fine with either outcome. If you have any prayer leverage, please pray for our new little one to be SMA-free.
