Under construction...

Well, guys...so sorry, but it's been a while since I've posted a Baby by Betsy blog. We had some tragedy in our family as my pop passed away, but I realize more and more each day that he is still with us, just as excited as ever for the baby to come into this world. I see him a lot in Brian...not the handyman part :o)...but the storytelling, laughing at life, going with the flow, loving and caring parts are all there. We will miss him so much, but won't forget to tell the baby all about him and teach the baby everything he taught us!

Such as....construction! You don't need no stickin' directions when you've had a pop teach you all he knows! Thanks to my mom, Mamma G...soon to be Nanna G, we have a crib! She is letting us use my sister Amanda's and my brother Robert's crib back from 21 years ago! It's beautiful and comes with a long dresser/changing table and tall dresser that matches. Actually, we have been getting lots of stuff from family and friends who have been gracious enough to bring over their old baby items for us or the grandparents houses. Now, we will each have big items like cribs, highchairs, strollers and car seats that we won't have to lug from home to home. Thank you so much, moms, for giving us your old items and for being such great friends! And thanks in advance to the grandmas: Nanna G and Grandma R for watching our little one while we are at work or when daycare isn't an option. And I can't forget my best friend, Kimmy, who will be ready with a pitcher of margaritas as soon as this baby pops out of me! :o) Can't wait for those...have been craving them like crazy...I think it's the tart, fruitiness...mmmmmm!
