T-Minus

We are on the cusp of being 30 days out. Accordingly we (anxious parents and planers by trade) have packed our "delivery bag" which contains all sorts of necessities as well as a few surprises to boot! Not to worry, the laptop and camera are on my "daddy list" for day of items, so a full post will (should) be delivered from the delivery room! (zero pun intended)

I am happy to report that Leslie and the baby are doing great and we are just trying to mentally prepare for whats coming next. I can tell you this, the Diaper Genie works well (auto open and close - very clutch!) I can also share that we have finally agreed on a boys name. Earlier predictions of a Texas-tied name were premature, which really means unless the boss (that's Leslie) types it, its doesn't mean much. We have agreed to keep it under wraps until the little one arrives, I can confirm, for what that's worth, that a mutual "yes" has verbally been given by both parties. If anything breaks early in US Weekly or People - I did it for the cash!

In travel news, our savior (Mrs. Peggy Britt) has booked her plane ticket to come and show us the ropes and enjoy the beautiful Colorado summer for a while. She arrives June 28th, which is the scheduled due date, however I understand the first ones usually like to bake a little longer, so perhaps a July 4th baby!!! Can't wait to see you Peggy Sue - we appreciate your time and wisdom - stay as long as you like.

All for now - thanks

Big as a house!

We're now at 34.5 weeks and getting bigger by the second. Last week's "drive thru" Doctor appointment was quick and easy. All is well with little Stiffler - the baby is head down, a nice round tush up on my left side and all sorts of limbs flailing about on my right side. My blood pressure was low and baby's heartbeat was about 145 BPM - our Doctor was very happy with our progress. Total weight gain thus far - drum roll please........24 pounds. It's the only time in my life I will gladly volunteer an increase in my weight.

Below is a somewhat more up-to-date picture of the nursery. The only thing we're missing is a baby.

33 weeks!

It's getting pretty exciting/scary that we're only about 7 weeks away from Baby Stiffler's arrival. We're pretty set, or so we think, for our little addition. I'm not sure how much more my stomach can stretch but we have almost two months to find out. Here's a shot of the ever expanding belly.

We purchased a new set of wheels for the little guy/gal:

Thanks to Grant's mom, we have the most comfortable glider ever created to enjoy!!!! You'll have to excuse Grant, pregnancy has been really exhausting for him. If I hear him complain that his back hurts one more time, I will use the glider as a weapon.
