After my comatose December . . .

WOW! Little did I know when I set this page up that I would identify such an obvious weakness! Bethany Schumann-McGhee is my hero – my girlfriend – my attorney – and the best doggone blogger I’ve ever seen! She updates her blog daily and makes it look so easy – and guess what – SHE’S FUNNY! How does she do it? And she hasn’t even slowed down since Dani was born so that “I’m just too busy-can't find the time” excuse falls short of acceptable!!!! Bethany, you’re putting me to shame!!! If you haven’t already done so and you want to see what a real blogger does, click on the Bethany & Wes link on this page and check her site out. Not to mention, her angel is completely adorable and only surpassed by her doting daddy! I’m thinking we might have to reintroduce the concept of arranged marriages as I think Dani and my baby boy may make a perfect match! Yes! I’m starting to be a controlling mother already!

Tiffany and I have a doctor’s appointment today. We are 38 days from our “due date”. Last Saturday, Tiffany, Chris and I took our tour and pre-registered at Bellevue, The Country Club of Women’s Hospitals. We are working on our “Birthdate Wish List” to make sure it resembles our dreams of this day as closely as possible. What a moving experience this was! Reality has begun to set it. While we were there, we stood in front of the windows of the nursery and watched the babies being dressed and cared for. Well, I should say Tiffany and I watched. Chris was frozen in time – standing there staring and oblivious to everyone else around him. He had “Daddy Face” and it moved me to tears. I am so excited for him. He’s going to make such an awesome daddy!

We spent the rest of the day going from store to store looking predominantly at baby cribs but inevitably, everything else that our little man could possibly need or want. We already have his Pack ‘n Play, his car seat and his stroller. I am just about done with the baby registries and will let you know when our “WELCOME BABY” party (shower) is scheduled for. We’re thinking some time in March. Yikes! This is really happening!!!!

Stay tuned. I’ll try to do better!!! I promise!!!!!
