Construction on the baby's room has started. He's getting a newly insulated, newly painted and finished room.


Oh, and constellation maps on his ceiling and a clubhouse. This is fun.

Weekend went well. We rented an SUV that we've considered buying. We brought a ton of stuff, but mostly it was linens (because all 3 of us have sensitive skin) and food (Bee & I both have food allergies). Kept the baby gear to a minimum. We probably could've skipped the bouncy chair, but at least it got used. Next up: figuring out holidays between...

We're taking the little man on his first overnight trip this weekend. Plus a long car ride each way. My instinct is to pack every bit of baby gear we own. That's probably overkill, right?

The c-section was tough, and our little family has had some bumps in the road to deal with, but being a mom is even better than I'd hoped for.


Pics to come whenever I get a chance to log onto my computer. I've been on my phone since before the hospital.

Update: appointment got moved again, this time back to Monday (still in the evening). I'm gonna be a mom in just a few days!

Barring an early arrival, we will get to meet our son a week from Monday. I'm really excited to know who he is.

Edit: we are actually scheduled for Wednesday the 27th. I go to the hospital at 5pm.

Gonna start packing the hospital bag today. What the hell should I put in it?

I wish my dinner would cook itself - it's too hot out to be in the kitchen!

So........ on Monday I was back in the hospital (everything is okay, thank goodness) and the doctor told me that if I go into labor from here on out, they won't try to stop it because the risks associated with arresting labor are greater than the risks of delivering this early. Shit just got real, yo.

I wish we had television. Game 7.

Good things:

- It's my lady's Friday! Tomorrow will be sleeping in and pancakes for breakfast!

- Bee's birthday was last weekend, and I got her an awesome grill (with some serious help from a good friend). It has both a charcoal and a gas option, plus it can be used as a smoker.

- We celebrated her birthday & my mom and brother met...
