::YOU ARE MY SONSHINE::

Here is a silly little collage I made from some pictures I took of my belly the other morning in the bathroom mirror:



We got the crib set up...well it is actually sitting in the living room upstairs at the moment, since Bryan has to take it apart to get it to fit through the bedroom door. I am so excited to get the mattress in and decide which of the many sets of linens to put on. I got a new washer and dryer! With three boys, an extra large capacity washer with steam capability is a must!

The bassinet is set up next to our bed in the master bedroom, it is so special to me that all three of you boys will have slept in it. The only thing I still need is a nice rocking chair...oh and to find the newborn clothes. I know I combined them with another age category for storage, so it is just going to be a matter of rummaging through all the crates.

Then we are set! Can't wait to meet you, Nolan. I am dying to see what you look like, since Warren takes so strongly after Bryan and his mom's features and Jack is a spitting image of Grandpa John...we'll see if it's in the cards for one of you boys to resemble me and/or my family!

I got the most fabulous new stoller and carseat. I found it on Craigs List and had to drive across town to get them, but oh so worth it to have a Peg Perego travel system (with the Prima Viaggio carseat) that retails new for over $500, all for $125. My favorite part is the stroller, which is the A3 Pramette model. It converts from a regular unsuspecting stroller to a Pram-style buggy with a few simple steps. I have always wanted to have one of these European looking buggies to push my little babe around in. And the icing on the cake...it is a lovely shade of orangey-red!

I had another appointment on 4/28 and all is well. Gained 6 more pounds and most importantly got my one and only concern taken care of. See, Jack was essentially born in the car on the way to the hospital. And, we live considerably further from the hospital now at our new house. So, naturally I asked my doctor what we (meaning Bryan) would need to do in the event that little Nolan is born at home. Big sigh of relief, doc said we will just make sure that doesn't happen by going in for a scheduled induction at least a week before my due date. It is official, our newest son will be here in July and most likely in the middle of the month. Yeah! Can't wait to see his little face peeking out from the new (to me) buggy!
