hurry up little man!

It's really all about the day to day wait right now. The doctor doesn't really expect him to come before the 3rd of July, and honestly he may not show up until a few days past the 8th. The wife is quite ready for him to make his appearance, and I must say I'm beginning to feel the same way. The rollercoaster of emotion has slowed a bit, though it'll pick up when the first sign of labor hits. Ah, life.

In other news, I'm now a member of facebook. I signed up for the sole purpose of finding a few friends that I'd lost email addresses for, but now find myself plunging ever deeper into the waters. Having the responsibility of the house and my son, plus this blog (a priority) will prevent me from experiencing it fully, but I look forward to keeping connected with old friends.

Finally, let us hope and pray that my next upate brings news of my car selling. It's been up on craigslist for a while now, and just recently a young man has come by to see it several times. He sounds interested in it. As with everything else in life, I'll just wait.

We're Ready!


Well, almost. The nursery is essentially set up for baby. We still haven't found a rocker-glider that we like and can afford, nor have we decided if we're really going to buy a bookshelf right now. That being said, he has a fully furnished crib, dresser, and changing table ready for him. The house is pretty much ready for us to leave at a moment's notice, though he's probably still a couple weeks out. Who knows though, right? All of the showers have come to an end, but the gifts continue to trickle in.

Speaking of gifts. I appreciate the kindness of others, and definitely would really try to avoid indicating this frustration to them in person, but let me tell you something. Don't tear every single tag off of something before you give it to us! We have soo many blankets we don't know what to do with. Just the other day we got another one, and some more newborn size shirts (which you know he'll grow out of before we can even wash the first load of clothes) and the tags had all been torn off. So we can't very well exchange it for something useful. No more blankets and no more tiny tiny baby shirts. We have enough! that is, unless you made the shirt or blanket yourself. that's a different story.

Here's the crib all set up and waiting!

so many presents

Oh how the people love buying baby gifts! It nearly overwhelms the house. That's all I have to say about this.
