Don't Say I Didn't Say It...

I said that this attempt at consistent blogging was equally as likely to derail as every other. As a result, you can't be upset.

That being said, Shawna and I are in baby limbo right now, and have been for about a week or so now. Shawna started showing some signs that she was nearing labor (I will spare you the details) last week, but since then everything has been remarkably quiet.

In the time since I last blogged, we've done a lot (I suppose that quantification is relative). We finished lamaze, which was a wonderful time of me learning things about labor that horrified me and then having to watch videos of them. In the end, I may be better for it, but part of me will never be the same again. We also finished collecting the items we needed in order to be ready for Rylie to make the drop. This included a stroller, a carseat, and a "pak'n'play." Let me tell you, the "pak-ing" part is easier said than done. Once that thing gets set up, it's staying where it is. The "easy set up and take down" claim on the box is farcical. I believe it took us anywhere between 30-45 minutes and a good helping of stress management techniques last time. Here's a picture of the stroller and carseat for your enjoyment.

Also, Shawna's belly is looking adorable. I don't know how much bigger that baby can get. As my boss, Mike, so delicately put it: "If that baby drops any lower, it'll be dragging on the ground!" Here's a picture to give a little visual help:

My two ladies!

Can't wait for her to get here. The official due date is Nov. 18th, but I hope we see her sooner!
