1st Mother's Day

Just some pics from Mothers' Day '07.






Dads making brunch. Fritatta. yum. Ella insisted that Unc Don and Pop Pop wear hats. Somehow her Daddy got off the hook.

Ella reading me the card from Auntie Dee and Auntie Wendi.

any minute now

Yes, it is truly any minute now that he could arrive. Yes, my feet hurt. Now, after the bedrest, all of a sudden I'm supposed to WALK all the time to bring on labor???? Seriously.

So this is the last pic I'll take before he gets here. Still not sure of a name. Don refuses to stop calling him Spiny. I guess we'll have to figure that out pretty soon...

Bedrest

Well, just 9 more days of this darn bedrest thing, then it's on. Doc says I can play basketball if I want, baby will be 37 weeks and fully cooked. And it's not like I all of a sudden just stand up and baby falls right out. Although that would be kind of nice timing. Hopefully I can adjust to being an upright individual for a little while before he makes his grand entrance into this world. I fear sometimes that this bedrest thing has debilitated me, I don't do any chores or dishes or laundry, which is secretly kind of nice, but I worry that getting back into regular, or a new life with a newborn is going to kick my ass even more severely.

I'm mostly just setting this blog up for baby pics and such, seeing as how it's one of the few preparations I can do laying here on the couch with my computer. Here goes.
