Right Here Waiting

In a bit of a blog lull now as the season attempts to officially change over to Spring on this Easter Sunday. Mommy and Daddy to be will be going to a Royals game on Tuesday night, hoping that the 62 degrees and Sunny forecast holds up. Its about 45 and raining outside right now, so you never know. I thought I'd share the welcoming image of our Doctor's Office. The Center for Women's Health, at Shawnee Mission Medical Center is our place, and Dr. Giedt is our very friendly and helpful doctor. So far we've had nothing but great experiences there. Its only 5-10 minutes from our house, and we've spent no more than 5-10 minutes in the waiting area each time as well. Hopefully everything keeps moving along just as easily. Happy Easter!

Come Together

Well it didn't take us long to unpack the first box and get things put together. Here is our brand new Graco Stroller/Travel System in the flesh. It was actually pretty easy to snap the few things on that needed to be snapped on. We really love this one because of the ambiguous but awesome design pattern (can be used for a boy or a girl, and then kept around for Round 2) and just because it was the easiest one that we tried out when it came to collapsing it and pulling it back up. Anyway, we're so excited to have this in the baby room to stare at for the next 6 months. We even put the base of the Carrier/Car Seat into Jamie's car, and decided that we really didn't feel like removing it, so its staying there until October too!

Hip To Be Square

So Monday Jamie and I were over at my sister's house enjoying our day off, playing with the kids, and just visiting when my Mom kept calling and asking her if we had checked our mail yet. She was acting weird, but I didn't think anything of it. Then she calls me and asks me if we've checked our mail yet. I told her we still hadn't even left, and she said to make sure we go home and check it. I figured she sent a card with some Baby Money in it or something like that. Boy was I wrong. We pulled up to two huge boxes sitting on our porch, and I could see the "GRACO" from the driveway. She surprised us with the awesome Stroller/Travel System and Playpen that we'd been eyeing at Babies R Us. In my Mom's regular spy-like gift-giving fashion, we hadn't actually even shown her what we wanted, but she used her resources to figure it out anyway. Thanks Mom!! We love them! We put the Stroller together that night, and I'll get some pics up soon.
