Baby T's Domain

Happy 37 weeks!  That's right...as of Monday, we were full term.  Also, we reached another big milestone this week.  Since Baby T didn't make his appearance and Bridget was able to work the full week, she shouldn't have to return to work until after Christmas!  Since reaching her goal, Bridget has been humming, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."  :)

Now, we're just waiting for this little guy's arrival.  Bridget can tell that things are happening and has had some mild contractions, but no labor yet.  We've been on high alert, but part of us can't believe that this will actually happen in the next few weeks...or days...or hours!!  We had all of our immediate family members guess which date would be Baby T's birthday.  Everyone got two guesses and yesterday was the first guessed date, which makes it feel even closer.  Bridget says that it feels like we're living in the future, because this last week of September has been a week that we've been looking forward to for a long time...well, for about eight months!

When Baby T does decide to make his appearance, we're ready, as evidenced by the pictures of his nursery below...





Many thanks to our family and friends who helped outfit Baby T's room, especially our parents, i.e., the soon-to-be grandparents!  Also, Brad deserves much praise for his skills in putting together all of the furniture and installing the video baby monitor.  We get a kick out of using the remote control to scan the room and have even threatened the dogs about putting it in their room for a day, just to see what they really do in their crates while we're at work.  Pepper informed us that that would be an invasion of privacy and he would file a lawsuit, so we haven't taken that risk yet :)

Speaking of the dogs, this post wouldn't be complete without a picture of our pups, Pepper and Penny.  They love the baby's room and we often find them rolling around on the rug and playing in there.  It will be interesting to see how they feel about the room after their baby brother arrives :)
