Day 228 / Week 34 and a 1/2


Taken today on day 228 - week 34 and a half. Almost there.



SAM and our brand new Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier. Doesn't it look good on her?



I had to get in on the action to. Can't you just see Petunia in it?



It's actually pretty complicated - SAM's the one who figured it out.



Load of baby crap


Hi Team! So here we are, getting closer and closer to the day it's all supposed to happen (which, for those of you not keeping up, is October 29th). In the last few days we've picked up a new used highchair (visible in the top photo) from one of Sarah's colleagues, Marian. Thanks, Marian! We've also gotten a little bath seat, a seat for her to sit and rock in and a play mat / gym from Janice and Sunil. Thanks, guys!

It's funny, at every stage, I think we're totally ready and have everything we need. Then I learn that there's yet something else we don't have. I'm not sure what's next... but it seems to me we're pretty ready... until we get home from the hospital, I guess. Actually, I do have on my list a baby nail clipper and thermometer... but I think I have a little bit of time to get those.

We are thankful for each passing day she stays in because we're glad not only for the extra time for us, but because it will help her be more prepared for life on the "outside." We spend every day wondering what she will be like, who she will look like more, will she be a good person, all those things all the time savoring the very wondering itself!

Anyways, this one will be short since we had date night tonight and had dinner and watched Hairspray. Very funny movie, actually. Highly recommended. But all this crazy partying has left us pooped and we're going to turn in for the night. Love you guys!

This post is amazing! When I first saw the Baby Bjorn on Sarah, I admit that I thought there was a baby in it. It looks great on both of you! It's very stylish, actually. It will be even better, though, when it has a baby inside it. But still, the baby inside Sarah is plenty stylish in the meantime!

It's amazing how much bigger Sarah looks in each picture. These pictures make feel a little bit closer. I feel that I am able to watch the transformation taking place inside her belly. It's so exciting! We'll have to make sure our webcams are fully operational before the big day because were going to want to be right there with you guys when she gets home from the hospital!

When you look at SAM straight on with the baby Bjorn it's hard to find Petunia! But the side view and the couch shot tell all. Whew! I guess she's still in there! This extra baby paraphernalia is taking up those little nooks and crannies that you freed up in the apartment. I guess the baby "stuff" makes Petunia feel all the more real and her arrival imminent! You seem to be so well-prepared... Hee Hee! Can't wait!


Thanks, John, for the updates. We love them- and you three!! XXOO
