Excited?

So today, May 2nd, is our due date. As of right now, 4pm (central standard time) we are still waiting. Olive is starting to get excited. She wasn't so happy at first. This photo was taken the day we sat her down and told her she was going to have to share "her" new room with the baby. The shock was too much for her to take. She ate a snack and curled up for a three hour nap.

The room is set, the clothes are washed, the cradle swing is put together and the Cardinal's Mobile has been hung with care. I would say we are ready. So hurry up Baby G. We would really like to finally meet you. We promise not to dress you in headband bows if you are a girl or put you in tube socks up to your knees if you are a boy. (I can't promise not to put you in a sailor suit. That is just too darn cute. But we will refrain from putting you in a matching sailor hat. Unless you choose to wear it of course.)

You have a whole gaggle of family waiting for you out here. Watch out for those uncles though; they can get pretty rowdy.

Come out, come out whoever you are.

No news is good news

Not much going on at our house. Still waiting for baby to make its appearance. As the days move forward I am getting more and more ready for this baby to introduce itself. With the curtains hung and the clothes all washed I don't know what else I can do to get ready. I guess the best option right now is to sleep. Not that proactive sleeping has any real benefit in the long run. A girl can dream.

Olive's new digs

As we get closer to Baby day we are getting the room ready, and trying to adjust to the reality of it all.

Olive is just happy that we have dedicated an entire room for her sleeping pleasure...




























I have a feeling she won't be so comfortable in there when the little one is crying at 3am. I guess we will see.

Getting ready

I painted a few weeks ago while I was on vacation. The room formerly known as the office is now officially the baby's room. We chose a nice shade of blue called Utah Sky.* We now have the crib set up, a bookshelf, the dresser/changing table, and the rocking chair all ready to go. Pretty much all we really need is the baby, well, and a few diapers. Only a few more weeks to go!!

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS UNTIL OPENING DAY!!!!!!!


* The color blue does not represent the gender of our baby. Please do not get excited and think that you found out first by reading our blog. Although...that is an interesting idea.

Lurk No More!

So we are told that a certain someone wanted us to update our blog. Yet there is no comment left. No trace that such a person, who so desperately wanted an update has even seen it. So it is time that I call out that person for what they are.

A BLOG LURKER!

def. blog lurker, n. /adj. 1-one who lurks around looking at others blogs but does not comment 2- one who pesters other blogger's mothers to tell them they need an update 3- this individual may not (and in this case does not) maintain their own blog therefore must live the "blog" life vicariously through the blogs on which they lurk.

So, to all you blog lurkers out there. (And you know who you are... and there are many of you...) Leave a comment. Let us know that we are not posting in vain. Then maybe we might be tempted to update a bit more frequently. (And if you don't mind me saying so three times this week isn't so bad, huh?)

Only 18 more days!
But who's counting right?

Countdown to Cards!

20 Days and counting.

Kev will be there.

I will be too round. I will stick to opening shower gifts and listening to Klezmer music at MoBot.

We got a new camera!

We got a new camera! This was a christmas present to ourselves this year. We figured now was a good time to make the big purchase seeing as we will probably want to take a ton of pictures in the very near future. So of course we had to try it out a little....on nothing other than Olive. I mean really, what else is there to take pictures of. No real scenic things to look around here, especially this time of year. No little ones running around yet. (At least that belong to us that is. I am not sure the Pats would appreciate me taking pictures of their kids.) So here we are again, posting a picture of our wonderful cat. Hopefully she won't be upset when she realizes that her moment(s) in the spotlight is almost over. Here she comes, I'd better quit talking about her.


COUNTDOWN TO OPENING DAY: 21 days

I'll be there 8-)
