Belly Cast

Yesterday, Claire came over to do my belly cast. Once Baby arrives and we learn the gender, we'll paint it accordingly then hang it in the nursery. This past Saturday was 38 weeks. Any day now . . .

Shower #4 ~ Jan. 14th

My co-workers, all guys, even got together and had a baby shower for me. It was really fun and very thoughtful of them. What great sports!!

Random Pics

Just a few random pictures over the last few weeks.

Irv and I at Chaucer's (early January) for Shannon's and Veronica's birthday:

The birthday crowd having a great time on the dance floor at Chaucer's.

Now our dancing days are on hold for a time. ;o)

Mia sunning herself by the pool. Crazy dog; it's January!!

Mia & Me

What Is This??

We've been getting things all set up for ourselves and for our dog, Mia. She's getting used to all the extra furniture Baby is going to be using. We'll probably start introducing diaper smells (clean ones!) and baby wipes in the next few days too.

36 Weeks and Counting!

This was taken on Jan. 8th, 2009, so it's actually closer to 37 weeks.

Christmas Stroller

How many Engineers does it take to put a stroller together??? One! ;o)

To Shave or Not To Shave

Irv's little experiment ... The after shot is a couple of days before Christmas 2008. He'd been letting it grow for a few weeks.
