There's a Baby on Board

36 Weeks and Counting!

Nesting

Nesting has begun! Last week I felt like I was on crack and could not sit down. Why you ask.....well because everything in my life and our house had to be in perfect order. Max was such a good sport because I greeted him every day with a new task list which he sweetly completed. We're not 100% done with everything, but this house is really whipping in to shape.

The picture is of a portion of our bathroom pantry. Organized and stocked!

Swollen

The inevitable is happening.....my hands are swelling. My wedding ring no longer fits on the ring finger. Sigh.....

Baby Has a New Set of Wheels

Last weekend, Dad and Natalia bought us the baby carrier system. This is one sleek puppy and is a car seat and stroller all in one! All hospitals require a car seat in order to take baby home and in the event that is sooner rather than later....we will be set.

Allie!

Reese!!

Calvin!!!

And of course, the dogs needed to test out the goods first. :)

Everybody Got a New Bed

On Sunday, we started at Babies 'R' Us where we purchased a mattress for the crib we put together on Friday. I know what you're thinking....that mattress on the car is the biggest baby mattress on the planet. It is indeed, but rather it is for the BIG babies in the family.....Max, me and the three dogs. We finally updgraded to a king size bed and we couldn't be happier.

Unfortunately, delivery is not an option on a Sunday, but we wanted that bed gosh darnit. So, we did the best strap job we could and drove about 12 miles (highway inluded) with one arm out holding that mattress as best we could. It caught flight a few times, but we did indeed sleep in that bed last night! Aaaaaahhhhhh, is all I can say.

The even better news is that our guest room is now equipped with a queen size bed! This is a total win for everyone!

Unwinding from Breastfeeding Class

After our very long afternoon at Breastfeeding class, we treated ourselves to a little fun at Main Event....bowling and some sweet arcade games. What I learned:

1) Misty and Tim are a mean tag-team at killing aliens with a gun (as is Max with the gun game he was playing)

2) I love ski ball!

3) Max came really close to winning a watch from the claw (yes, they now have enticing things for adults to play for)

Breastfeeding Class

I'm not sure exactly where to start....maybe with the photos? This was our last baby class and it was definitely a long four hours for the boys. Not to mention the awkwardness of talking about things like nipple and areola in front of your brother-in-law.

I'd like to introduce you to our baby: (there are questions it isn't Max's given the dark skin tones).... ;)

This is a picture of us clowning around after the long four hours. Please note the fake boob Misty is holding on to and the fact that Max is posing baby to look like Tim is nursing. Lucky Tim!

Very glad we did ALL of these classes and have such a great resource when we run into problems.
