A Tale of Two Daddies

A great example of both kinds of dad my sweet, wonderful husband will be! Too funny!

Little Claire Lussier

Our good friends, Viola and Jeff, had their baby, Claire Parker Lussier, on July 24 and here is a picture of the two of us when she was a day-and-a-half old.  She is so sweet and little.  Makes me excited for our little one to come in December.  Thankfully, she is covering the tummy pudge that doesn't quite look like a baby bump just yet.  Thanks, Claire-Bear!  :)

In all seriousness, Michael woke up around 3:30am on Friday morning (7/24) to let the dogs out and came to my side of the bed when he came back into the room.  It scared me - I thought something was wrong...  But, he was excited to tell me that Jeff had sent him a text saying that Viola was in labor and the baby was-a-comin' (my words, not his).  I think I might have squealed and asked all kinds of questions after hearing that, which is kind of unusual for me - I'm not really a middle-of-the-night kind of person...  It took me forever to get back to sleep.  I was thinking of Viola and Jeff and their exciting journey that was about to begin, and it made me want December to get here really quickly so that we can send out messages like that to our friends and family in the middle of the night.  I think I woke up at like 7:00am later that morning (also out of the ordinary for me) hoping for an update and there it was on Michael's phone - Claire was born at 5:50am and weighed in at 7 pounds, 9 ounces, 20 inches long.

Mom, Dad, and baby are all doing well!  I'm so happy for them to be starting a new chapter in their lives and we are so glad that we get to be a part of it!

Who will read this? Seriously?

Hey Y'all!

Ok, so a few of my friends who are either expecting or have already had their babies have been pressuring me to blog...  It's a great way to "journal" the important things that are happening in my changing body and with our sweet little one who comes in Decemeber.  However, I am not the best writer...  So, the other night in my haze between sleep and awake (happening a lot these days), I finally decided that I will try out blogging.  But, then I thought, who wants to read about me and my life?  This is the same reason I haven't joined Twitter (even though everyone else in the developed world has...but, I digress...), no one cares what I am up to every minute of the day, and if they do, they will call me.  Right?

Anyway, here I am in my 19th week of pregnancy (counted as 18 weeks completed) and anxiously awaiting the news of what kind of child I am carrying in my belly.  We find out August 6 if we are having a boy or a girl.  Names are already picked out as well as nursery furniture.  Michael thinks it's a girl and I think it's a boy.  To be honest, we don't really care what it is, as long as he/she is a healthy baby.  But, if it is a boy, he could have a harem of women when he comes of age (right now that's like 13 years old), because so many of our friends have had girls lately.  Guess the odds are in our favor for a boy.  We'll see!
