The waiting game

We have managed to check pretty much everything off our list! The crib is set up, the car seat is installed, the changing table is stocked, the laundry is done. And yet it seems like there is something missing... Oh, that's right... a baby! So now we're playing the waiting game. The good news is that we had time to go to a movie today (probably our last for a while)... but the bad news is that means that we're not any closer to having a Christmas baby - or really any baby. Apparently, we are not on the stork's rounds just yet...

In the absence of that excitement, we are planning to sit back and enjoy a Christmas together. Holiday movies and hot cocoa tonight, candlelight church service tomorrow, and a special menu planned for Saturday. Hopefully, we'll have more exciting news to report sometime soon. In the meantime, keep waiting with us!

Off to the Races

Success! We finally have a car seat base installed in one of our cars!! We are now able to transport baby when s/he arrives. We tested out the seat with a teddy bear to make sure that the harness was installed correctly and I added the ultrasound of Baby Bubb's face to make it easier to imagine with a baby. And for the folks that are worried about Aaron's car seats... don't. Protective seat covers were installed prior to the car seat base to ensure minimal damage. We still need to put a base in the MINI, but correctly installing a car seat in even one car felt like a major victory, so we didn't attempt a second one for the night.
