5 Weeks to Go!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all the wonderful friends and family that came out to the two baby showers the last couple of weeks! Delmar and I are so grateful for your love, support and generosity. Patrick is so spoiled already, he has no idea how lucky he is! We had a great time visiting with everyone and we're so excited to bring Patrick into a world with so many people that care about him.

As many of you know, we had another ultrasound on Monday. We still don't have definite plans for the future, as far as delivering and seeing specialists, but we should know by next week. Until then, here are a few new ultrasound pictures from the last appointment.

Patrick likes to spend the majority of his day with THIS (above) foot applying steady pressure on my lowest right ribs. The two of us battle all day long; as he kicks at my ribs, I push back down on him until he gives up. Have to show him who's boss from the get go!

I'll keep you posted on the plans for late August/early September. One more appointment with a urologist and then hopefully we'll have a solid game plan for the delivery of this little guy.

Thank you again for all of the love and generosity!

Nesting

So I have been told that I'm "nesting". Check off all nesting activities because apparently I am doing them. Setting up Patrick's room, washing and folding all of his clothes, organizing lots of Rubbermaid containers of baby clothes, supplies and miscellany, sweeping, vacuuming...whatever you want to call it, that's what I'm up to these days.

I found this dress/changing table on Craigslist for a great deal. I spent a couple afternoons sanding it down and refinishing it. It was a really fun project! As you can see, I already have it stocked with all of Patrick's newborn and 0-3 month size clothing!

Here's a picture of Delmar practicing his Swaddling technique on Sophie last night. Not to take too much credit, but I think we raised this pup really well. You can do pretty much anything to her (except cut her nails) and it won't bother her a bit. She stayed swaddled like this asleep on our bed for a good 10 minutes before we made her get up and go to her own bed for the night :)

33 weeks down, 7 weeks to go!
