It's about time!

No, I didn't have the baby yet ... I just haven't spent much time on the blog lately :) So, it's about time for another update. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.

MORE HOT CHOCOLATE = MORE SNOW!

This was our dessert last night when we got home from buying a bunch of healthy foods :) At our first time mom & dad class they gave us a list of top 11 foods to eat that will give you the nutrients you need, so we decided to buy them all and use them. Of course, fats and sugars are part of a balanced diet right? :)

The cute mugs that Nuby gave us when she was visiting because we have our tradition of drinking hot chocolate at the first snow (and many after), but no traditional cups. Now we've got both!

FOOTBALL

The U vs. Y game ... loved being there!

Steve & Preston right after halftime

The post-game field rush ... this is just the beginning.

And the best part ... THE SCOREBOARD!! I love my cougars!

OUR NURSERY

Tigger has been enjoying our bassinet and crib a lot! She jumps in them constantly and often will stay there for a little cat nap. We think it's really cute, but now we're a little worried. Preston's mom passed on a little message from his grandma Cottrell that was a little spooky. She told us that Grandma woke up from a deep sleep a few nights ago (which is unusual) and just had this same thought come to her over and over. She kept thinking "you need to tell Preston," "tell Preston," "make sure you tell Preston," etc. She figured she had been dreaming something that led to this thought, but it wouldn't go away, so she went to the bathroom and just kept hearing almost a voice saying the same thing to her. After about half an hour of laying in bed again and not being able to sleep, she finally said "okay, I'll tell Preston, but what do you want me to tell him?" Immediately the thought came clearly to her as if someone were speaking "tell Preston to get rid of the cat because cats kill babies." That still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Cats will apparently curl up on or next to babies faces and they'll suffocate. I had no idea, but knowing that Tigger likes the baby's beds and is definitely snuggly I can't help but be really grateful for whatever spirit sent us the warning through grandma. Of course, Tigger's not exactly our cat to "get rid of" so we're looking into her staying with someone else when the baby is born. Otherwise we will have to be extremely cautious for the first month until Tigger joins her Mom & Dad in Malaysia. Don't worry Kim & Trip, we still love your kitty :)

When I went to get the crib mattress, it came with another bedding set too. So, I had to decide which one was best for my baby boy. What do you think?

The nursery before adding all the bedding

With the bedding. We decided on the one that came with the mattress because I loved having green as a color and it is more nuetral for our next chillins. Plus, it has cute decorations that match, a diaper stacker, a valance and a whole bunch of things that the cute family threw in as extra stuff that will be really helpful for us first-time parents.

The changing table, diaper stacker, diaper genie & supplies. Maybe I'll clear off the window sill before Baby comes ... ?

As you can see, things are going well and we're "ready" for the baby. Every doctor appt. is pretty much the same thing ... "everything's normal." So, whatever that means, I guess we're on the right track for the 16th. Of course, it's all up to our little guy. Hopefully my tummy's not TOO comfortable for him :) I don't want him staying in there forever.
