The Brink of D-Day




Wow, 9 months have flown by fast!! Here I am, a mere 4 days ago. Today is officially my due date and no baby...yet. We're finally ready and moved back into the house. Well, as ready as we'll ever be! Besides, we need this baby to come now so we have a good excuse to ignore the piles of boxes and other more worldly activities. The house has turned out fantastic. There are a few details to unravel in the main living areas like a kitchen sink that works, but those are luxuries for the more civilized. We'll have the contractors around for another couple of months working on the basement (now locked off from the rest of the house) and the exterior work. For now, our baby girl will have the coolest room in the house.

Christian's Family Gave us an Awesome Shower



Wow! Christian's folks pulled off an incredible shower to welcome peanut into the clan. His relatives came out from all over western MD, southern PA, and eastern WV to help us celebrate. They're a great bunch of people to spend the afternoon with -- not to mention incredibly generous. This is already one well-dressed little girl! Thank you for all you did to pull this together for us. Thank you also to my own parents for coming out for the weekend to both help us put finishing touches on the house and to join in for the shower extravaganza. Check out the pix!
