More pictures

I can't believe that Jack will already be three weeks tomorrow! He's doing so well - eating and sleeping lots. The last couple of days have been a bit fussy, but I think that's because there aren't as many arms around to rock him to sleep, so he's got to figure it out on his own.

He's here!!

Sorry for the delay in getting this news up. Things didn't exactly happen the way we had planned. Jack was born last Thursday via c-section after a very long 30 or so hours of labour. We're guessing he just liked it too much in there and wasn't coming out! He weighed in at 9lb 4oz and was 22" long. We think he's amazing and beautiful - but then, we may be a little biased.

Still Waiting

No news yet - We're now 4 days overdue and we're ALL just waiting.

And did I mention it's snowing?

Not yet

Hi everyone - yes, we're still waiting. But most babies are late, so who knows. Baby will come when he's good and ready, I guess. It's our first lesson that we no longer control our lives.

Anyways, we took a few more nursery pics, now that it's a little more done. Here you go!

Pictures

Here is a "before" - me at about 3 months:

And a more recent one (2 weeks ago):

I thought this one was kind of cute too. Tia is grooming Baloo. You can't tell so well from the picture, but Baloo loves it when Tia licks his ears.

Here is Jeffrey enjoying his new nap spot - Somehow I don't think he'll like the change table so much after it's been used.

And finally - the pool! Now we're ready. Just need baby to decide to come!

I'm back . . . Kind of

I've been offline for a while, and I think we've finally solved some of the problems, although the connection is still turning on and off. Here's hoping I can post this in one of the brief windows that I have a connection!

No baby yet. I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow, so really, anytime would be good. Sooner would be nicer than later, as I'm sure you can understand. Baby is growing and quite big already. Our midwife predicted he'll be in the 10 pound range, so we'll see. We are still planning to have baby at home, barring any issues, so we have all of our supplies ready to go and are just waiting now.

I'm still having trouble getting pictures to upload, so I'll work on that a little later.

Nursery in Progress

Here are some more pictures of the nursery under construction. Our furniture arrived yesterday just after I got back from Kelowna and we assembled the crib last night. This is all starting to feel so real!

Me and the Nursery

My wonderful brother put up our wallpaper border in the nursery today! It looks SOOO good. Now we're just waiting for the furniture and the baby! Today is two months until the due date. Here is a picture of me from tonight and a couple of the nursery without my big belly in the way!

Our Long Weekend

Hi everyone! I know it's been a really long time since I've updated, but it's been busy. Now I just have to make it through July and then August should be a lot slower! (Hopefully) Anyways, our exciting news is that we painted baby's room this weekend! Now that the garage sale is over and we've cleaned out the former guest room, it was time to get in and get a few things ready.

Jeffrey and Tia enjoyed the painting process (a little too much). They discovered that once we took the cold air return cover off, they could get into the space in the floor!

Eventually Jeffrey came out on his own. Tia had to be bribed. Who knew she liked Nacho flavored chips?

The room itself looks awesome. We kept the top half of the walls the color they were and painted the bottom part a dark brown. Our next step, once the paint is good and dry, will be to put up the border, but I kind of doubt that will happen before we leave for camp on Saturday.

25 weeks

I can't believe how fast this is going! Less than 4 months and baby will be here! Wow - is there ever a lot to do still! We've been working on cleaning out the guest room and I'm trying to get all of my church stuff organized over the next few weeks so it's ready to hand off for a few months.

Baby is kicking me a lot - especially at night. And I haven't been sleeping so well because of the heat, but we'll make it through that too! Here are a couple of pics from this weekend:

And here is our handsome puppy after getting all his fur shaved off for the summer. He was sure thankful for it this weekend!
