We had a great weekend on so many fronts. One of the big things was how many decisions we finalized on the Baby front. We had been so indecisive on just about everything but now we're feeling that we're heading in the right direction. On Friday night Sara's parents and brother and sister-in-law came over. We had a nice dinner on the grill and finalized which room would be the nursery. We had envisioned the nursery in one room (bedroom #1 upstairs) but our furniture was too big for that room so we moved to thinking the nursery would be bedroom #2 upstairs. Well, we couldn't figure out an arrangement that worked just right so we were thinking we'd have to move bedroom #3 furniture into bedroom #2 and then use bedroom #3 for the nursery....which would have not been cool considering we already painted samples on bedroom #2 walls. Well, thank goodness for some creativity on everyone's part because we ended up loving the new arrangement in bedroom #2 (whew on the paint)! We absolutely love the new set-up - it's perfect for Baby H.
Other decisions made this weekend include finalizing the baby monitor and purchasing a ceiling fan that Brian and Sara's Dad will install soon. We also purchased and assembled a bookcase for the nursery.

Special thanks to Jim for assembling it today (nothing like bribing him with homemade macaroni and cheese to get it done)!!! Now we can tell Baby H that Uncle Jim assembled the bookcase special for him! We're super close on choosing a glider/ottoman and paint for the room. It feels so good to be so close to done with all of the big stuff with 102 days to spare!
We had a lot of fun on Saturday night with our friends Barb and Don. Our abs get a workout everytime we get together from laughing so much and the time always goes by way too quickly. Our evening at a new restaurant was cut short due to severe weather in the Twin Cities. Thankfully Sara's brother Jim called to tell us about it and shortly after getting the check the tornado sirens started going off. So, we both booked it home to head for safety. We'll have to get back together again soon! You have to see how they served Miller Highlife 40s....complete with champagne glasses and served on ice. It is the champagne of beers you know!

Baby H continues to be a very active baby. It seems like when he's hungry he lets Sara know by kicking a lot. We say that because he's especially active before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His kicks are so powerful you can see Sara's whole stomach area shift. Brian got to see it first hand in church this morning.
No "Homer" yet for Jim and Annie. He's -1 past his due date now. If he doesn't come on his own they'll induce next Sunday. Come on Homer, we want to meet you!!
