Beautiful Baby

My baby is growing.  :)  He sleeps a lot, eats a lot, purrs like a kitten and twitters like a bird.  He has a double crown on the back of his head, and one side of his face is fatter than the other.  :)

Normal happenings, baby preparation.

So much for resolving to post more often.  I am still not being very faithful on here.

  We are getting ready for this baby who is supposed to be coming in 15 days.  I think that I am ready for him/her.  We bought a playpen/bed and a car seat and have them all clean and set up.  I have all my newborn clothes and diapers washed and put where they need to be.  I still haven't bought any clothes for him/her, but I don't know which gender to buy yet so..... that will wait till afterwards.  I have 5 nightgowns, 4 pairs of socks, and lots of undershirts.  That will have to do for the first week or two.  I have at least one supper in the freezer and some brownies and cookies (my freezer isn't big enough to put too much in there though).  Susan is coming in 17 days..... I am pretty excited about that.  The kids would be too, but I haven't exactly told them.  
  The weather is nice, temperature ranges from 2 or 3* to 18* today.  I try to make the kids spend at least an hour running around the back yard in the sun, and they sometimes bike to the park with Papa after supper (A and I walk).  We found a bike shop in town that sells second hand bikes and parts.  We bought bikes at Value Village, and fixed them all up for the kids.  So now they have bikes.
  The rabbits that run around the back yard some evenings are no longer white.  They are brown now.  The lawns that have grass are starting to be greener.  At least half of the yards in our neighbourhood don't have grass yet, they are just dirt.  We got a bbq off of freecycle, and found a propane tank on kijiji.  I still need to scrub the bbq down, but that will happen today or tomorrow.  Anyways, I need to get going, I want to get the laundry pile down to nothing, and maybe a few other things done, too, today.  Have a good day all.  Wendy
