34 Weeks and Updates

Well, it's been a while since my last post, but I can't say that there's been a lot of blog-worthy news going on in the Kempe house over the past month. I did an elective in Pathology last month and plan on applying for a Pathology residency in the fall with interviews (hopefully) in the winter. Please keep us in your prayers! I also took half of Step 2 of my boards at the end of May and will be taking the other half this week in Atlanta. We're flying there pretty late in my pregnancy, so let's just hope that Shepherd can hold his horses for the 24 hours or so that we'll be in Atlanta. I'm now doing a junior internship in Medicine which pretty much means long days and lots of time on my feet - not fun. I guess my 70-something year old attending figures that if he can do walking rounds for 3 hours straight I should be able to too... As for Tim, he is busy working to meet some project deadlines in late July. I think we're both looking forward to a change of pace when Shepherd comes, even though I'm sure it won't really be a slower pace-but it will definitely be great to spend time at home with our sweet boy! Last but certainly not least, Bea is trying to adjust to the Memphis summer once again by spending most of her time laid out on the floor like a beached whale. Maybe she is also mentally preparing to be de-throned as the reigning baby of the house, but something tells me that's not really a thought in her mind at this point.

Here are some pics of my growing belly, the nursery, and of course the Bea:
