    Default Important decisions being made...

    Finally picked the baby's room decor! Ok, not really that important, but for me it is. More of a female thing than a guy thing Hubby had wanted a different set, but after buying it and putting it in the room, we weren't thrilled with it. So we got my favorite set and LOVE it. Here is a link to the pictures of it JCPenney : Sports Fan Baby Bedding and Accessories CoCaLo Will have to post pictures of his room once hubby has painted it and put it all together.

    Here is the bassinet I got http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=4013928

    I know, it doesn't seem like that long ago that I had just found out we were having a baby. It will be early Spring here when he is born. We will probably have a few cold days, but mostly 70-80 degree Farenheit days. I'm excited that he will be here before Easter, get to dress him up in one of those cute sweater vest outfits I love on boys Everything with the girls now is explained as before baby comes or baby will be here, since their understanding of time isn't that great. Ava keeps asking when he is going to be here.

    This is so exciting Kathy! It does just seem like yesterday you told us you were expecting. Probably the time hasn't passed quite as fast for you, lol. And yes, we are expecting our second grandchild, with our middle son and his wife, so their first baby. So you did hear right. Their due date is June 5, so they are just about 8 weeks behind you and Joe. They/we find out on January 13th whether it is a boy or a girl. We are so excited again too. Being grandparents is just the best thing in the whole wide world. (we had to keep it top secret for the longest time per my daughter-in-law's request.....you know how that is with the first baby....she wanted to wait until she was safely in her second trimester)
    Anyway, I am just so excited for you guys. And especially since you are getting to have a little boy. Joe gets his son. Take care of yourself. The last trimester can get so tiring again, especially that last month. God bless, CL

    Congrats on the grandbaby CL! I'm definitely coming into the tired and no energy stage again. Luckily hubby has been doing a lot around the house for me. We are almost completely done with all of our work in the house. He has just about repainted everything and I've cleaned everything. Finally feeling like I'm going to be ready for baby.
