36 Week Update

We just had our two week checkup and everything still looks good.  Our next checkup is on the 24th and we will do our last ultrasound to make sure Kinley is in position.  They will also do a quick assessment to give us a better idea of how close the delivery date is. 

Sooo, time is drawing near and we have started to get things checked off of our to-do list.  Stroller is put together and car seat is in the car...check.  Baby monitor is up and running, not to mention that if you are signed up for skype, add anniejanegoodwin as a friend.  If you are not, you should create an account as we can skype and connect our monitor as the video feed so you can see the little one (and babysit from wherever you are!).  Annie just packed the bags for the hospital and is ready to go anytime.  We also have our hospital tour tomorrow to make it easier when the day is here. 

As time draws near, keep your phones and facebook nearby.  We will try to keep you as up to date as possible on her progress.  Stay tuned.

Baby Shower

Just wanted to put a quick shout out to my sister Pascha for putting together my baby shower.  Also, thank you for everyone that made the drive down to Hermosa Beach and braved finding a space to park your car.  Below are a couple of pics!

Whew, what a weekend!

We had a very busy weekend.  Annie's mother and aunt are in town for her baby shower, which was a huge success.  Annie and Steve also took some maternity pictures and some great painted belly shots, courtesy of our neice and nephew, Lily and Dalton. 

Only 8 more weeks until the girl is here and we can't wait!  Lots of more stuff to plan and and take care of but we will be ready (well...as ready as two new parents can be!).

The Glider is here!

After long hours of sanding, staining, and reupholstering, the glider is now finished!  It turned out great and Annie and Steve are excited to start using it. 

4th of July Cookouts = Lots of Cooking in the Kitchen

We had a great fourth of july hanging out with our good friends.  We ate, ate, and ate a some more waiting for the fireworks to start.  The picture below is one of the mishaps when making too many dishes.  Steve was looking for an egg that must have rolled of the counter.  We found it after a few minutes of looking. 

Belly Belly Belly...but no outie belly button!!

Annie is now at 29 weeks.  We are counting down the weeks left and hope the summer will be a mild one.  It's already getting hot down here (yes, high 70s to low 80s is hot for us beach people) but at least the nights are really nice.  Annie is convinced she will only get a little bigger in the next 11 weeks.  We'll see!!

More Baby Room Updates..

We have added a few more things to our shelves and Annie is running out of room (and excuses!) to buy anymore knick knacks.  Steve spent the last few weekends sanding and staining the glider that Pascha gave us and it looks great.  Now we are just waiting for the new cushions that Pascha is reupholstering for us.  Almost there!
