The Latest

Mandi had another doc appointment today. David is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. He may arrive in July. We have tall genes on both sides of the family. If he managed to inherit any of those, he may be a biggin'.

Third trimester is underway. Mandi is getting more uncomfortable, but is managing. She has a strong constitution--or at least she pushes through adversity with gusto.

We are getting the house a little closer to acceptable, having the blue vinyl in the kitchen and laundry room replaced with ceramic tile. It is already looking nice and should be a good move toward neutralizing the blue/mauve colors that we have endured needlessly for so long. David will hopefully not remember blue carpet either, as it is next on the list to go.

Only 10 more weeks to go and they will be flying by. Trying to hang on for the ride and get everything prepared. So far, so good.

Finally, A Post!

I've been slacking off getting info to this blog, but here is the latest picture of Mandi. She's doing great! David is kicking like crazy, especially when she is relaxed in a recliner or in bed, where he has more room to toss and turn. We have been reading to him--mostly Dr. Seuss books. I recommend Scrambled Eggs Super Dee Dooper.

Otherwise, things are going well. We have the nursery put together, but we still have the basic supplies to obtain. One of Mandi's co-workers sold us her furniture, a car seat, breast pump, and pack n'play. She was very generous and we truly appreciate it.

I think that I will be getting a Sam's card soon. Or perhaps diapers are cheaper online? All those things will come soon enough and in great abundance.

I am going to try and take more pictures and more regularly.
