Hhmmm....What's going on?

Hhhhhmmmmm....Why is mommy's belly getting so big? She can't keep up with me on my walks. She's slow getting up the stairs. There are all these toys that I just want to chew up and they keep saying no! Boy, I sure do love licking my own crotch. Will things ever get back to normal? Why won't the let me in the room with the window? I can't bark at all the dogs that walk by our house!

Connie's shower...

After I found out I was pregnant, my good friend, Connie found out she was 10 weeks behind me. It is great to have friends who are going though the same experience as you. It is hard to believe that 9 months ago, kids were not in the picture for not only me, but some of my friends as well. Oh, how things have changed, (for the better of course)! We celebrated Connie's little boy and she got lots of great things. The nice thing about having a pregnant friend, is that you can share experiences and clothes! We spent the day at Brix Cafe where the food was great, but the friendship was even better. If you ever need to have a shower somewhere in town, this is a great place; good food and an open atmosphere.

Pregnant Buddies!

Making room for baby...

Grant and I have been working really hard this week to get Baby McElwain's room ready. He so graciously gave up his man room for our little girl. We have also been in the process of finishing our basement, which makes a much better and abigger man room. Since from today, there are 33 more days until her expected arrival, we figured we ought to get things ready. Thanks to our parents, friends and Craigslist, we were able to get just about everything we think we need to make her the happiest baby ever. Really, we are hoping we have created a room which optimizes sleeping through the night!

A little place to get some ZZZZs....

This is will be my new favorite chair for those late night feedings and bedtime stories...

A place to change poopy, stinky diapers (Not looking forward to that)...

And Cracker, for now thinks it is his place to hang out and sleep...

For our Family and Friends

As the birth of our little girl nears, Grant and I have set up this blog to update our family and friends of the little moments we will experience as our life changes. I know I have really benefited for reading my friends' blogs as their lives have changed since having children. Since many of you live out of town, we hope to share pictures of our new little girl (to be named at birth). We finished our nursery this weekend and we are preparing our home for her arrival. I am so ready for to meet this little girl she move around a lot inside. Aside from being extremely uncomfortable, I am excited about becoming a mom and watching Grant be a loving father.
