Waiting for Beau

The crib is assembled, we have enough diapers to last a few weeks, formula and bottles are ready to go. Clothes and blankets are washed, but don't get me started on washing the bedding. Lainey's even practicing her big sister skills. I'm busy trying to get the house ready. It seems to me that it doesn't matter if you give birth or "pick one up" for lack of better terminology, every mother nests. The day we got the call that Lainey was about to arrive, I was making thank you cards. This time, I'm planning how to do the announcements. The past few weeks have brought back wonderful memories of our first days, actually hours, with Lainey, stuff I had forgotten about, like the noises she made when she had a bottle, or just how tiny her diapers were. I am so excited to experience it all over again.

All of sudden, Lainey has started feeding cuddling her dolls. When I asked her if she wanted a baby, she said, "No." When I asked her if Mama should get a baby, she said, "yes." Any way you look at it hon, WE are getting a baby!

Got him right where I want him

Robert's parents came up to visit Thursday and Friday and we spent that time putting the crib together and doing all sorts of things that had been on our to do list for ages. One of those was to clean the dryer vent and hose. I happened to catch Robert in this perfect moment and had to get a picture. It's tough to get his full attention sometimes but I had it right here!
