Our Weekend



























Lots to tell about. After my appointment on Friday we realized this may be a February baby instead of March, so we spent all weekend getting last minute things together. When we got out of the doctor it was snowing like crazy. Kevin got to come home and we spent all afternoon sipping hot chocolate and watching the snow fall outside. We were stuck inside all night so Kevin did one of his favorite things, dressing Denver up. No, we're not one of those people that buys our dogs clothes...kevin just puts human clothes on them to be funny. He always ties Daisy's head up in a bonnet or forces them into one of his t-shirts. I find it annoying but it makes Kevin laugh for a good 30 minutes. See picture. We also introduced the dogs to our "fake Nora" doll who we've named Lil' N. This will help them get used to a baby and us giving our attention to other things besides them. Yes, we're geeks but hopefully it will help. Last I posted a picture of my belly in case you care. I'm getting more ready to have this baby everyday!! Kevin also finished painting two pictures for the nursery and they are so cute. I will post a picture of the final nursery soon. I think it's so special that he did that...something she will appreciate one day. Sorry the pictures are all lumped together...I don't have time to do separate posts and make them look pretty.

Thanks for your belly picture. It doesn't look much bigger than your last one. I am so excited for y'all. I won't comment on your fake baby doll with the dog thing:).

Okay, the fake baby picture made me freak out! Since the pictures were before your description, I totally thought Nora had come over the weekend!!! (Now, that was probably because I would not have naturally thought "Oh, I bet that's not Nora in the picture. I bet it's a fake doll they're using to get the dogs ready." :)

I'm glad to hear that you're getting CLOSE!! That is so exciting! You might have to email the actual details later...does the doc think soon???

Can't wait to see the real Nora pictures!!

Oh, and by the way, you look AWESOME! I can't believe you're already at the end...you look so good.

Hey, I might be a little hacked if you end up holding your baby before I'm holding mine! The race is on! You look so beautiful!

Chels, that's hilarious. I thought about that when I was posting this picture. It's one of those "baby think it over dolls" and it looks so real. With batteries she cries...My dogs howl when she cries.

Candice, it's on sister. :)

OH me!! We are still laughing at this one! We loved the description of Kevin dressing up the dogs. That sounds like something I would love to do! Laughter is like internal jogging, you know!! I saw that picture of Kevin holding that baby, and I was about to scream, hey, wait a minute--they forgot to call us!! Whew! I was glad to know that it was just Lil' N!!! Good idea for those sweet puppies! You are in our prayers everyday. Did you go to the Dr. again on Friday? What did he say this time?
Love you, J & S
