We have a crib!

This weekend we (actually Dan) put The Beaner's crib together. And I love it!

I picked out some sweet material (sage green with white polka dots) for my mom to use when she makes the bedding. But other than that I'm going to leave most of the decorating until after baby arrives and we know whether we have a little boy or little girl on our hands.

I have to say, having the crib set up makes it feel like we're getting close to go-time. In fact, despite my due date of June 28th Dan and I both think The Bean will likely arrive in about 3 weeks. We'll see - maybe we're just over-excited first-timers. :)

Here are some pics of the crib and the latest belly shots.

PS My favoorite food of the week is...WATERMELON. I can't get enough.

Meet Miss Maisee!

Our friends Julie and Jay welcomed thier sweet little girl

Maisee Olive Hallelujah Woolley

into the world this weekend.

We can't wait to meet her! I'm sure she and The Bean will spend tons of time together.

Congratulations Julie and Jay!

Everything Must Go!

We held a garage sale today - in an effort to free up storage space for some of The Bean's things (and some of our stuff).

It was a HUGE success. We knew it was going to go well when our first customer came knocking on our door at 7:30 a.m. - despite the 8 a.m. start time on all of the signs we posted. And the fact that we hadn't opened the garage door or put anything outside yet.

By the time 10:30 hit we were pretty much cleaned out. Hooray!

Now we're off to enjoy the 31 degrees of glorious heat! Enjoy your long weekend.

PS The Bean and I had our regular check up yesterday. Beaner is still head down and had a heart rate of 154. And the doctor says my belly is measuring at exactly 34 weeks. Yay!

Happy Mother's Day!

Dan, The Bean and I want to say

Happy Mother's Day to our Moms

We Love you!

Nap Time!

It's been a while since our last post - and the reason is twofold. First, we had a busy weekend last week. Gary and Kathy came out for a fun visit and a we hosted a big BBQ and jam with some friends. There were lots of guitars, an upright base, a violin and some serious fiddlin'. The music lasted until about 1:30 a.m. which I'm not sure our neighbors loved. But we had a great time!

Then, for no real reason (other than the fact that I'm in my 33rd week of preggersness) I was hit with a giant wave of exhaustion this week. I've napped every evening for the past four days -which is unusual for me. But today I seem to be coming around, I even made it out for a quick walk.

Before my tired phase kicked in Dan and I went for a walk on Sunday afternoon through Edworthy Park since the temperature got up to about 20 degrees. The park is pretty close to our house and is a great area with a giant dog park, lots of pathways and some pretty steep hills.

As you can see we took advantage of the scenery and played around with our camera again.

Oh and since I'm updating I'll fill you in on last week's doctor's visit. As usual the belly is measuring the right size, Bean had a healthly heartbeat of 150 beats per minute and my blood pressure was perfect. So things are going well. The Bean is still moving tons and had a rare case of the hicups this week.

Only a little more than 7 weeks to go until we meet our little beaner.
