It's Official!

After handing over one of the biggest checks I have ever seen and signed our names a hundred times we are officially HOME OWNERS!  AHHHHHHHH!!!! Have to admit some what of a strange feeling.  I think more so, that we are not moving in right away.  So far I have several phone calls to make tomorrow, contractors, lawn service (since we will not be living there right away to take care of it), many more trips to Direct Buy... My head is still spinning from it all.  However starting in July visitors welcome.  We have a spare bedroom with your name on it.  On a side note the Mayor of Fair Haven lives 4 doors down from us and has spent some time on the Cape being that his dad has lived there for the last 20 years.  He was at our closing today and giving us some of the low down.  We are making friends in the right (or maybe wrong depending on how you look at it) places already.

Let the shopping begin...

So today was a big day for us.  We made our first major baby purchase aside from clothes.  We purchased nursery furniture.  Crib, dresser/changing station, wardrobe.  The only thing left to add is a nice comfy glider for mommy to be.  I guess being more than half way there we really needed to get on the ball.  Look for a baby belly debut in the next few days on the site! 

Monkey's are cute!

This past weekend we were up visiting Eric's mom and family in MA. It was such a beautiful weekend out, had some time out shopping, and getting practice hanging out with little Kyla chasing her around. Well should I say watching her run from us! On my second trip to baby world We have decided monkeys are really cute. Have couple of ideas. Above is one of them. I am telling they are just to darn cute. When did I turn so mushy?

Dad's Say The Darndest Things!

So, I thought it would be cute to give Eric a Boston Red Sox onesie as part of his anniversary present.  Don't get your hopes up New Englanders!  Homeboy will be sporting Giants gear come September.  After all, they did beat the ONCE un-defeated Patriots 17 - 14 to be one of the biggest upsets in sports history. Lucky for me I am not an Yankees fan because losing a 3-0 lead in the playoffs is almost as pitiful.  Call if you would like me to recap Tyree's helmet catch or Plax's wide open trip to the end zone to win it.  Back to onesies... So I come home from work and Eric had opened his gift (it was a few days late on back order) and says to me I have only one question for you.  "Why don't they have adult size onesies? "  I thought "Hey you have a zipper just as easy. Right?" But, what do I know?

Baby stuff?

So, I was at my 2nd shower in 2 weeks this weekend. Both very nice, everything you expect. Good food, gifts, and lots of women gossipping. At Jody's shower I felt a little better about myself since this time I knew what the majority of the gifts were. That is until she opened a baby wipe warmer! Yes a baby wipe warmer. Have you heard of these? Essentially you put your box of baby wipes in this contraption that I can only describe as a tissue box cover, and it keeps your wipes warm. Now a few questions I had...

1. After you go to the bathroom wouldn't you prefer something cool and soothing on your bum than something that is warm?

2. If your child has diaper rash or heat rash won't the wet warm wipe spread it or contain more germs? Bacteria likes dark warm places right... Just Saying.

3. How did our parents survive without all these inventions?

Just add it to the list of things I am clueless about!

On a brighter note I went to take my first look at furniture and nursery themes this weekend. I found a rocker glider that I think I need right this second never mind for when the baby comes!

More Fun House photos

OK... So I think I have it all figured out.  Becoming the blog queen over here.  Just home from the gym making sure homeboy comes out healthy and strong and have some energy, so I thought I would add some more picks of the house for you all.  This weekend I will start to look for nursery themes and furniture.  I think that is about all I can handle right now.  I was at a baby shower this past weekend and had no idea what half the stuff was!  That is an adventure for another day though.  Wish us luck.  To see more pics of the house, click here

It's A...

Ok so April 8th was our 2 year anniversary. The traditional gifts for our 2 years together is cotton. Think tee-shirts, socks, boxers, etc. Who cares you ask. You do of course. Cotton is also used to make paper and what is printed on paper but pictures. In fact, just like the pictures you see here. One is of the profile of our new BOUNCING BABY BOY! The other is of his arm (kind of like Popeye don't you think) waving hello to you all! So we are officially upgrading from homeslice to homeboy! Well homeboy we are all very excited to meet you, but the questions is... Are you ready to meet us?

Future Home.

Ok so Eric is in Toronto to see the Red Sox and I am going to catch up on some much needed sleep this weekend. This ever growing buddah of mine requires more sleep than you can imagine. Seeing as I loved to get my naps in and go to bed early before all this you would not believe how few hours a day I am actually awake! Here is a picture of the new house. Sort of reminds me of a life size doll house.. We will most likely be moving the end of June begining of July to Fair Haven, NJ. Visitors welcome!

p.s.  Trying to figure out how to add a slide show to this and having a hard time.  Any with suggestions on how to do this from flickr let me know thanks!

First Baby Photos

Ok so we have not really been good about sending pics out to everyone but here you can see the growing Lil' Homeslice from the first visit to the doctor (see the lil white dot inside of the black circle) to the 8 week pick where it actually looks like a baby with a giant head. Lil' Picachu was quite active at that visit doing all sorts of flips for the camera. We can only hope baby is more athletic than mama! The last photo is the 12 week mark were they took some measurement put my due date at September 5th 2008 and found out that little one seemed healthy as can be. In about one week we will make another trip to the doctor for the 20 week sonogram. As long as everybody cooperates we will be able to find out the sex. Look forward to those pics and let the guessing begin! Check back in this week. Even though it is a baby blog we will throw in some pics of the future abode.
