So I feel now that if the baby came at anytime, I would be ready. This is why:
Got my baby corner all set up. Found a bassinet and car seat on craigslist, and the two containers are filled with all my girl and boy 0-3 month clothes. I also spent what seems like 100 hours organizing all the kids' outgrown clothes into sizes and then into boxes labeled 'Boy 3-6 months', Girl 18-24 months' and you get the idea.
The doctor said I could get induced a week early, which would be Sept. 14th, and that is like a MONTH away. The only thing left is a name. Matt and I can't agree on anything and I am starting to get a little nervous. Matt's mom said to put all the names in a hat and draw one out, which I seriously think we will do.
Sorry not anything really exciting to post about. Matt is enjoying his job at Northwestern Mutual but is very busy, we don't see him much. He is still in training for a couple more weeks, which is good for me because Becky Knowles and I can trade off dropping Matt and Sam off to work (at 6:30 a.m. I might add) so that we have cars during the day. Too bad that will all end when he starts his job officially; then I will have three kids and no car and Matt gone about 70 hours a week or more. Good thing the Knowles are within walking distance!
As far as our new place, we love Castle Rock. Our apartment is pretty much all unpacked except for a few things; and as soon as those things are done; I will post some pictures.
Here is my cow. This is the view looking east off our deck. For some reason it is so awesome to me that I can see cows right across the street from my apartment window.
Jonah loves hiding. He has discovered that there are a surprising amount of little tiny places he can squeeze into and he stays there quietly despite my freaking out and calling his name. His favorites lately are the dryer and the fridge. He opens the fridge and tries to squeeze into the bottom shelf and close the door, and really, he is pretty close, only a couple more inches and he'd be in. Maybe one day I will find him in the fridge.
Mikelle loves playing with the new baby stuff. She is happy just sitting in the car seat and wanted to go to bed in the bassinet last night.

The baby stuff looks so great! I was thinking about you last night and thinking how soon you are going to have this little.....baby (whatever it is!) and it's SO SOON! I'm so excited and only half jealous. :) PS Maybe you should just let me pick a name.....think about it.:):):):)
Names are hard, but maybe once you meet your new little one, you'll both be so in love that picking out a name will be so much easier?! Maybe???! Maybe the opposite, so much harder to pick out a name when you meet your baby! Either way, I'm excited to know what name you guys decide on!!! I'm excited for your family. I hear ya about the no car thing though. Now that Curt works in Englewood I have to drive him to work with the 2 kids at 6:30-7, but the good news is he gets off work at 4. Sounds like Matt is swamped!!! we seriously need to get together so the kids can play and we can chat!
Cows off the balcony? I really really like Castle Rock more and more.
Yeah, have a few names ready, and when baby comes you'll know who he or she is. Or do the right thing and call that child Carol or Ardell.
What fun! I am so excited for you! It seems like you are almost ready! Good luck with the name thing... I love Jonah's hiding place, what a cute kid...
The idea of him hiding in the fridge scares me! Perhaps a fridge latch at the top?
We have a view of cows each morning too :o)
