From where I am sitting....

(and yes, I know I should have pictures) -

I see:

Rainforest bouncer (Fully assembled by me)
aquarium swing (fully assembled by me)
Half assembled exersaucer (by me - rest will finish later)
3/4 assembled pack-n-play (by Mark - rest will finish later)

Downstairs, there is:
high chair
car seats (yes, 2 - one for each car)
travel system
bath tub
A laundry basket completely filled with burp cloths, receiving blankets, one-sies, jammies, etc that are just DYING for me to wash them.
A second hamper filled with more of the above. (dark colors, the basket has the light colors in it)
Variety of baby soaps, lotions, creams, etc. All in the yummy healthy natural varieties I requested
Bath toys
Baby carrier

And more other stuff than I care to think about.

Our family and friends gave us the bestest shower ever.

We are very blessed.

And Baby Moe is so very lucky and blessed.

Rocket Man.....

Words on the wall say "sssh...baby dreaming"

I picked out the "stuff".

What'cha think?

Things that make me shake my head

Mark's co-worker's girlfriend just had a baby.

From her initial phone call to the doctor saying "I think I'm in labor" till "Congrats! It's a healthy girl" - 4 or 5 hours. Max.

First baby.

We went thru childbirth classes and the teacher said that first time labors can go 24 plus hours.

Today in the car as Mark was telling me about his co-worker's girlfriend he said

"Remember those videos we saw in class - and some of those women were in labor for 20 or 30 hours?"

me: Yes. That is clearly etched into my mind.

Him: That would suck

Me: I kinda think so

Him: wouldn't 4 or 5 hours be great?

Me: Yeah, I'm kinda thinkin' that'd be preferable to 30 hours.

Him: 30 hours would be rough on us.

Me: (thinking Holy shit, am I glad I am not driving because I'd surely have lost control of the car. "Ummm...hon?"

Him: Well, I mean, it'd be harder on you and all, but it would suck for both of us.

Me: No comment

Him: Well it would suck for both of us. Thirty hours is a long time.

Me: No comment.

Him: What I meant is....

Me: No....really....no comment.
