Nothing new to report. We're supposed to get a big snowstorm this weekend, around 10 inches maybe more. Melissa jokes that she's been waiting a few years for a good snowstorm to skip work and this one won't do her a whole lot of good. She can't enjoy it at all. Maybe I'll slip a snow ball in her gown when she's sleeping. Then she'll notice the snow a little more and maybe it'll help her through a hot flash. Melissa jokes that she hopes the doctors can make it to the hospital this weekend. Well actually they have a peri-natal doctor in the hospital at all times and we're attached to the Children's Hospital where the NICU unit is. I'm actually very happy that Melissa and Bea will be tucked in safe and sound at the hospital.
The big excitement this weekend will be looking forward to the Wisconsin vs. Ohio State basketball game. Wisconsin's loss versus Michigan State this week took a little excitement out of the #1 vs. #2 game but it'll be definitely fun to watch. We have an agreement where if our college team isn't playing (Wisconsin or Minnesota) we have to root for the other team (Wisconsin or Minnesota). I play along to be nice, Melissa plays along because I'm really grumpy when the Gophers loose - especially when they lose dramatically, but we're not going to dwell on the past. We've got a new football coach and I'm sure Flip Saunders will be signing on any day to coach the basketball team (I say this with much sarcasm and false hope).
My recommendation for the weekend is any Twin Citians who shovel should buy the shovels with the bent handles. With my back surgery I really notice the difference with the ergonomic design.

Hi Melissa and Matt:
For this weekend, you aren't the only ones tucked in and it's reassuring to know the hospital has the necessary staff on hand at all times. I love to see your reports of nothing happening, one day at a time, so crucial for Bea.
Everyone here in Madison is hunkering down for a big snowstorm, maybe one of the biggest in a long time. We got groceries, have the crockpot ready to go, and we can't wait to see the Badgers beat the Buckeyes again. Wishful thinking, but we did it once this year. Melissa knows which red team to root for -- the right one.
Keep taking good care of each other. All of the things you are doing seem to be working very well.
Love, Jenny
