One Month and Waiting

Life has been great, work has been fun and exhausting, church has been good, we got called to teach the sunbeams (3yr olds) and enjoy teaching together as a couple. There is a little to much sitting involved though so by the third hour I have to stand up in the back to let the baby stretch out a bit. Herbert is great at handling 3-4 3 year olds by himself. He is going to be a great dad.

Speaking of parents we are so excited to greet our little one! Our baby girl is Due July 26th and I am at the point where I am excited to meet her and about done being pregnant. Sometimes when I walk by our bathroom I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and can't believe my stomach is out that far! It doesn't seem natural. I will post some pictures on here soon. We just got a watermelon to do a comparison belly size on Herbert. We made a list of projects we needed to get done before the baby comes and I think we are doing pretty good. Here they are.
To Do before the end of June
• Pack baby bag, Herbie bag, Annie bag including DVDs, games, IPod and computers with chargers and cellphone chargers
• Find pediatrician that takes current and future insurance
• Flow Chart/Plan for baby birth
Done- Cover stove top pans
Done- Get crib
Done- Assemble crib
Done- Buy mattress for crib
Done- Get rocking chair
• Get baby’s room all ready
Done- Buy Diapers
• Make a list of who we need to call when I go into labor


Some of them are checked off and some still need to be done.
The rest of our list goes like this

To do before baby arrives
• Work on battery of Vibe
• Head lights on Vibe and Subaru
• Touch up paint, polish and wax Vibe
• Go through extra boxes and organize storage area
• Increase food storage
• Eye Exam for Herbert
• Dental exam for Annie and Herbert
• Make extra meals
Nothing has been done yet, but we are making plans to get them done. We did catch a cold this past weekend are are still recovering, thank goodness for air conditioning, Popsicles, smoothies and movies. Besides a trip to goodwill for their 50% off sale, and costco for food we slept the whole weekend. It was good to catch up on sleep and spend so much time together.

Oh I forgot to mention Herbert went to Florida to visit his family there, grandma, aunt, uncle and great uncle. It was such a good experience, Hopefully I can post some pictures on here. It was so good for him to see everyone he has not seen in about 2 years. I'm so glad he has no desire to live there, even though the visit went so well and the weather was perfect. This weekend there is a tropical storm sitting right on the gulf of Mexico by Florida so I am glad he was not trying to get home this weekend from there.
Grandma and Herbie (FYI Grandma and I are the only ones allowed to call him Herbie)

Also exciting news, we got a crib!!! It is the most beautiful thing! Its a Davinci - Kalani Crib, black, its amazing, Herbert did such a good job putting it together, here are so pictures of the process, when the baby's room is all done I will post some pictures of that, we are getting close, we got a rocking chair from craigslist which has a certain oder we call garage grandma, it was this guys mothers and it was sitting in his garage for awhile hence the combination.






Enjoy!
