Dad's Corner: Change Is in the Air

Last weekend we received the crib and bureau.  The crib is now set up in our room and the bureau in the baby's room.  Along with those changes, last weekend, I started ripping up our first floor.  We're replacing the tile and carpet on the first floor, stairs, and upstairs landing with hardwood.  It's a big project, so I'm enlisting the help of my Dad and brother, and kicking Danielle out while we work.  It should look very nice when we're done and be more baby-safe.  However, if anyone comes over and finds a squeak in the floor, you stepped in the wrong spot and don't need to bring it to my attention.  Ignorance is bliss!

Hopefully you saw my "mobile" post.  I'm hoping that for those that can't come to the hospital right away, we can keep you in the loop with some quick pictures and posts.  Don't worry though, I know that not everyone wants to know where babies come from.

The baby is still active and kicking and moving away.  They don't all feel like kicks now though.  I think because he's closer to the walls of his bachelor pad, you can feel even more movement.  He's getting so big you can actually see Danielle's belly move and, I'm not gonna lie, it's a little gross.  It looks like something slimy slithering silently, so slowly shifting shapes supplant smooth sections (that's alliteration to the 11th degree.  Beat that!  Oh, I can rhyme too: Danielle's got a big belly, her feet are quite smelly, but that's ok with me, cuz she's makin a baby!  I'm a poet and I didn't even know it, but my feet show it because they're long fellows.  Aw snap!).

Baby's Words of Wisdom: "Enjoy the empty, silent crib while it lasts.  When I get there, if that cribs a rockin', you better come feed me!"

Can't wait to see the new floors!!
I'm sure it will make a huge difference in the look of the house.
Also, I think you should set something up for everyone to guess the date that they think the baby will be born. What do you think?
