Tomorrow is May 1st

Tomorrow, the calendar changes to May and I am having a holy-cow moment. Baby will be here in 2.5 weeks and its coming so fast.

So many of our friends have just had babies, its officially my turn next. The kick-off of Baby boom 2007-08 was in September, with W-T and his wife having a girl, then in January, Jake and Andi had a baby girl, in March Katie and Joe welcomed a boy, then two of Matt's co-workers had babies in April, one boy and one girl, and just on Sunday, my friend Amy and her husband welcomed a baby girl...

Ben and Holli are due towards the end of May, so they will probably be next in line.

This cute little crew (Lola, Loreine, Sawyer, Sage, Joel, and Chloe)will have a new member in a couple of weeks. Who shall it be?

BBQ Chicken


We had a nice barbecue tonight- the weather was nice and it felt like a grilling evening. Gus loved the chicken and stripped every last bit of meat off the bones. Proud carnivorous parents we are.

4 weeks from today....

Gus will be a big brother, and I'll be holding a newborn in my arms.

We scheduled the C section for May 16th. Cross your fingers for me that the Dr. gets safely back from his trip to Germany the day before. If he doesn't I'll have the back-up OB deliver baby, but I prefer my Dr. He delivered Gus and is quite the character- and very experienced and practiced. A true cowboy OB/GYN. Well, that's what you get in Okanogan County.

This pregnancy has literally blown by for me, I guess working 40 hours a week and being a mom to Gus has probably helped that along. Maybe these last four weeks will pass slowly.

I am filled with so many emotions: anxiety, bittersweet feelings, and curiosity, but overall I am just darn excited.

Its been nearly 3 years since Gus was a newborn, and I am starting to wonder if its like riding a bike, I hope I haven't fallen out of practice with newborn care. This time, I'll have my right-hand man, helping me along. Gus informed me the other day that the dominoes he was playing with were a no-no for baby. "Baby might choke on these" he said. Thanks, buddy.

Have a good weekend. Its Matt's birthday weekend- we'll be having tri-tip barbeque and carrot cake with Grandpa Tim and Grammy Kath.

Twins


I was looking at old photos today, and I came across this one. Its not the best picture, but G and M look so much alike here, at least I think so. Especially in the mouth, cheek, and eye area.
