In order...
It was so nice being at home for the weekend for the first in 4 weeks. Got to sleep in on a Saturday morning and catch up on a few hours of recorded tv. Luckily, we also got to take advantage of a cherished few hours spent with our friends wishing Kevin a safe and quick trip overseas.
I was very excited to receive my new Nest thermostat and get it installed on the same day that we also got our foam insulation installed in the attic. I wish I had the Nest installed a week or two before so I could see the energy savings but I guess I'll just have to see how well the insulation works according to last years electric bills. Trisha is loving the Nest because it has an iPhone app that let's her control the temp from bed. I've always been the one that is always hot and she's always cold. Well, the table are turned.
Trisha came home from work that day and let me know that there was a very strong smell in the house. I guess I hadn't noticed too much because I was at the house during the foam installation but we agreed she didn't need to stay overnight breathing in the fumes. So I took advantage of the situation and killed two birds with one stone. My least favorite activity in recent years is painting and that's just what I got to do. I painted til almost midnight and then assembled the furniture the next morning. SJ's room is turning out to be pretty awesome though! Once again, I'd like to remind everyone how great my wife is for letting me have my way with this nursery.
Halloween came and went. Trisha and I got a little taste of family as we met our niece and nephew at the pumpkin place to get some pics before they were off to the park. It was fun watching the excitement onTrisha's face on Halloween evening when trick-or-treaters came to the door. It just reminded us that we get to celebrate all of these fun Holidays in a very new light very soon.
Then there is baby.
It seems that about everything that is happening in our daily lives revolves around SJ. We got to register at Babies R Us and Target over the weekend and it quickly reminded us that we need A LOT of stuff. I'm going to have to get a second job to be able to afford all of the strollers, highchairs, diapers, baby Toms, etc etc
Also, last week was our first "expecting parents" class. I don't know how long it's been since I sat in a classroom for 2 hours and listened to an instructor. We learned all about distinguishing the right time to go to the hospital and where to go when it comes. I think tonight we're going to be learning breathing and massage because we were told to bring pillows. I told Trisha to make sure and get some new pillowcases so we didn't have drool or whatever on them. Well Trisha walks in and tosses them to me and sure enough, she had to pick up the one print that made us look like "that" couple....leopard print.
Lastly, we were so excited when our latest sonogram happened. We may get one more according to our doctor but typically this would be our last. I'm already understanding what they mean, when people say that they think their kid is the cutest. Apparently SJ likes his hands because almost pic we've got of him has his hands in front of his face. Trisha was pushing him around and getting on her side to get that one great photo but he just wouldn't move his hands.
Got a few decent ones but I was only concerned with one thing. I wanted to make sure that everything was still there and I got another pic to let me know things were still on track.
That's MY BOY!
