Meet our team of dedicated medical professionals...

That's right, Muppets!

Our medical team is wonderful! They are very knowledgeable, kind, caring, empathetic and capable. We met the docs for the delivery this morning. Rest easy, for we have two of the senior-most doctors available, with a huge amount of experience with twins deliveries between them. Their personality seemed dry in all the right ways, but playful too, cooly confidant, and clearly experienced.

But here's the thing: everyone is also so energetic, enthusiastic and animated that, well... they remind us of the Muppets and the Muppet master himself.

And so, meet our dedicated team of medical professionals:

In other news, things are progressing well with the birth. Kristin's water broke this morning, at least one of her waters, anyways, and her contractions are about five minutes apart.

We were both able to get some rest last night, at least as much as you can with two baby monitors and a contraction monitor slapped on you; or sleeping on a couch shelf window settee; or with this guy coming in for samples for the phlebotomy laboratory in the middle of the night:

Thank goodness for competent medical personal! 

And, whenever it gets painful, Kristin's happy place is not a beach sunset or a serene mountain view, it's remembering and envisioning all of the women who don't have our privilege, who give birth in fields while working, who have no access to our excellent medical care or the kind of support we have.

Thank you, Muppets, we are so grateful for you and your enthusiasm!
