In a great place

28 weeks! It sure feels like we have been in the 20's forever but it also feels great to be here. I no longer worry about 'the call' that something bad is coming. I now realize that 28+ weeks can have many challenges if there is an early birth but our percentages for having a happy, healthy child is increasing daily.

Tiff is really handling this very well. She still has stubborn moments where she won't pick up the phone if something different is happening but overall her demeanor and spirits are wonderful. We (I) are simply more prone to have anxiety if there is something happening such as pressure on her back or strong contractions but overall her symptoms are ordinary occurrences in pregnancy for most that we are simply feeling our way though with a heightened sense of anxiety versus a traditional pregnancy.

Weeks like this are bittersweet for me, to say the least. I was in San Fran early in the week and now find myself in beautiful Jackson Hole, WY. I'll be here with work through Saturday but I can honestly say it just doesn't feel right not to have Tiffany here with me to experience it all. I really feel terrible calling her and talking about everything but I just can't contain my excitement for the area. She is my confident and best friend so I want so badly for her to feel my excitement. I went on a beautiful 4 mile trail run tonight and I'm pretty sure I heard a Bull Moose proclaiming his dominance of the area. I ran by pulled carriages that were deep in the national park on an excursion and they were playing music by a campfire. Dinner was marvelous as I had a game dish that you simply can't find in many other places. The town is inspiring and the area is humbling.

Not being her with me is one more sacrifice that Tiffany had made in our journey that I feel eternally grateful for. She would love this place as much or more than I and I really don't know how I am able to repay her for all of the sacrifices she has made over the last three years to get us to this point. My job has been easy. Her job has been nothing short of heroic.
