Week 34

Our Baby Care class was a nice change of pace from the Lamaze classes we went to last week. Mike looked like a pro while he practised bathing, changing and swaddling his doll. He said that the class should have been longer then 3 hours but even so we both thought it was worth attending.

Week 33

Much to our excitement the toy box is finally finished! I am definitely the luckiest woman alive to have a husband that can make something so amazing. Hopefully, Little Michael loves books, teddy bears and sports. Yes that is a hand painted football bank in Buffalo Bills colors but to be fair I painted the back in Sea Hawks colors. Next to it is Mikes favorite part of the whole nursery. Its a basketball autographed by Dick Vitale.

As a family we are trying to continue with some traditions and build some of our own. The picture to your left is of the baptism gown my grandma made for me when I was a baby. Since then my siblings and my cousin's son have all been baptised in it and little Michael will be as well. Its laying on top of a beautiful white blanket Mikes mom made which will be used at the baptism.

Week 32

We are hard at work on the nursery and almost finished with the toy box/bookshelf. I had my first run in with an unwanted belly toucher this weekend. I was washing my hands in a public restroom when I lady who was obviously drunk came out of a stall and without washing her hands grabbed my belly. While she was grabbing and shaking my belly she kept saying he was going to be a monster because he was already so big. She said she could tell it was going to be a boy because of the way I was carrying and that my skin looked too nice to be having a girl. I don't mind the random people that touch my belly at work or in elevators but I do prefer people are sober and have clean hands before they touch me.

31 Weeks

We are 31 weeks pregnant and can not wait for little Michael to arrive. Things seem so busy and I am sure they will just get busier. We had our baby shower this past Saturday and he is already spoiled. This week we are working on getting the nursery all put together and Mike is finishing up on the toy chest/ bookshelf he is making. We also signed up for all the baby classes we would find. Coming up we have infant CPR, Lamaze, baby care and breast feeding.

Hopefully little Michael has as much fun with his toy box as his daddy does. We still need to put on the trim, the sliding doors and the stain but its coming a long great.
