We forgot to mention....

Heather got to go home before her dad came out for five days. While she was there she had her baby shower. We are so thankful to have so much love and support in our lives from friends and family and we are truly blessed. We love you all very much and Bailey is coming into such a wonderful family, and support system that we could not ask for anything else. We will see all of the New Yorkers in May and will have a beautiful baby to share with you all. Mom and Aunt Krystin see you in April, we an't wait to have you here to share in all of this experience.

Last night with dad.

After sanding and having dust everywhere some part of me decided I should try to give the dogs a shower with myself one at a time. I am not sure if I will try it again anytime soon, although they were much better about it than I anticipated, wet paws on the bed can be a drawback. Here are out last few pictures to share.

This morning (Wednesday) I really tried to think of anyway possible to keep my dad here and "accidentally miss his flight" as he has helped us progress so much. I know however how much he is missed at home by mom and the kids so I had to let him go. We had a great time, although he unfortunately spent his vacation working, we knew this ahead of time and it is why he so graciously came out. We did get to webchat with the family while he was here which was entertaining. Now we know that Bailey will be able to keep in touch with her family while growing up. We are also at a great place with the nursery and can see that finishing is in sight, and will hopefully be completed with pictures to share all put together in mid- February. We will try to keep you all posted.

Sanding the room

No the pictures are not blurry there was dust everywhere, but we wanted to share with you how much work was accomplished in just a short week. The room is looking great and we are now ahead of where we thought we would be out rather than behind schedule. Dad has saved the nursery.

Since dad is not able to come back for the delivery with Heathers' mom we took him to a 3d ultrasound at our perinatologist with us. All I have to say for that wonderful pregnancy belly is that we are still down from our pre-pregnancy weight at this time. Hooray!!. Bailey now weighs 3.47 pounds, so here is to hoping she is not huge like Uncle Dan.

Sunday Jan. 18th

Putting up the new door, what would an all new room be without a new door. Fortunately this removal and installation was planned unlike your bedroom door at college Aunt Meghan, and we are hoping it stays intact for many many years to come. Then we worked on some additional drywall in the room.

Some finished drywall photos.

More Saturday work
