Growing more and buying more

So, it's not Disney, but Shane's choices on the baby's Valentine's Day gifts are not very manly! Especially that big cuddly teddy bear suit he insisted on buying for next winter. What is hilarious, though, is what you can't see. That little onesie says "When in Rome" which is yet another quote from "Anchorman." There was no talking him out of buying that one and I'm sure his father- and brothers-in-law will laugh.

Shane also caved and took me to buy the crib which should arrive in a few weeks. We decided on a convertible one that will change into a toddler bed then into a double bed, so it's this baby's furniture until he leaves home. The picture is of both the crib and the double bed and we ordered the antique black finish. It is very beautiful and I can't wait to buy the bedding for it! I guess the nesting has begun!

Valentine's Day was quite low key for us. We had a nice dinner at Macaroni Grill, bought the baby those clothes, and just watched tv until Shane had to pick up his mom from the ferry. She came to see her kids for a few days before she headed over to Aurora House on the mainland for a few weeks. She has been in and out of her kids' lives for the past number of years, but has finally decided to enter a program to get clean, so please pray for her and her kids, as it will not be an easy road. We are very proud of her decision and we will keep you posted on her success, because we know our God is faithful to answer our prayers.

SO...I have hit the six month mark and I have less than 3 months left at work. The baby's kicks are packing quite the punch now and he has definitely got the hang of doing that weird Lochness monster move. He has decided that my bladder is a comfortable place to rest on and my ribs are a very good target for his kicks. I guess he's preparing to be a cagefighter.

Well, until next time, enjoy the weekend and keep us in your prayers. Any decorating tips for our nursery are also welcome.Ta ta for now!
