Big Thanks!

Thanks to all who contributed towards the Ergo Baby Carrier. It came yesterday in the mail. Scott and I both tried it out, though it will prove to be a little more challenging to use with a baby in it. Needless to say the waist strap was NOT intended to be used by a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy.

Well pass along pics of our first 'real' use.

FYI-our next check-up (38th Wk) is this Friday afternoon. We will keep you all posted as we anxiously await his arrival!

Love and thanks to all. Andrea

Pictures from this weekend:

The "nursery" in progress... we've decided we're not exactly -wood cutout letters of the baby's name, matching armoire, crib, toddler desk... sort of people.. :) There's some pics of the IKEA storage drawers, Pottery Barn crib, BOB stroller with car seat attachment (with car seat installed), new wool rug (IKEA), night light (IKEA)...

We're trying to keep things as informal, fun, creative, and affordable as possible... at $125 a grocery bill and $60 a gas tank, how can one not? :)

We're mostly set on baby paraphernalia... still potentially looking for a glider/rocking chair... and then we need to decide on our cloth diapering system of choice. We have a stack of chlorine free disposables to get us through the start.

There are also some pictures of the roses in the front yard at the end of their spring bloom!

Love you all.

CRIB

20 YEARS LATER... we finally decided on a crib... Now we just have to get a mattress... ORGANIC or not ORGANIC??

BIG BABY!

So our OB suggested we have another ultrasound since Andrea's belly "apparently" wasn't bigger than the time before... and HA the baby is actually BIGGER than average. (SORRY ANDREA) And even better (WORSE), his head is already 8cm... at 35 weeks... We'll have to see what the OB has to say about that next week! Guess Little Baby Winter got his DAD's noggin...

Babies for OBAMA

Little Baby Winter is voting for OBAMA and you should too!

You'd think if you were going to fly all the why to Oregon, you'd make sure you were focused...
