BABYWATCH 2007

We are playing the waiting game. Here we are...... waiting for fishie......to make his debut......no pressure little guy. :)

Here are some pictures of his room, we set up the crib last weekend. (and yes, I know you can't have toys in the crib with him, but they are going to live there for now. )

I'm still working, albeit half and 3/4 days. Brent continues to hold down the fort, doing basically all the living space maintenance, errands and heavy lifting.

So, we'll keep you posted. If you need to find us, we'll just be here......waiting. :)

10 week countdown

10 weeks sounds like less time than 2 months somehow.

So, we have been getting alot of advice about....well everything. All of it welcome, to be sure. Many people told me about Diapers.com, they are so cheap, they deliver to your door, etc. Fine, I think, I'm going to need diapers, I'll order a starter pack. So, I'm sitting at the computer after a long day, surfing the various array of diapers available to me at Diapers.com, which took approximately 30 seconds to become overwhelming. Maybe it's the hormones. Brent looks over and sees my forlorn expression so decides he must come to my rescue. So, he comes over, all we'll-figure-this-out-together and says:

"Ok, we'll just estimate. How many diapers does a baby go through in a day? 2 or 3? So, that's what, 60 or 70 the first month? We'll get 80 just to be safe."

Um, yeah. So, 10 weeks to go. I think I'll go get out the What to Expect books. :)

In the beginning

A little trip down memory lane.

The morning we found out I did not tell Brent I was going to take a test. I thought it would probably be negative and it was very early to check anyway. But I wanted him to be there when I took it, so I got up when he did at 5:30AM and snuck to the bathroom to take the test. Negative, so I threw it away, kisssed him goodbye and went back to bed. Three hours later I woke up and wandered into the bathroom, happened to glance in the wastebasket and did a double take when I saw a HUGE PINK LINE!! Then I had to find a sneaky way to go meet him at work to tell him in person.

This is a picture of me when I thought I was "showing". Ha.
