Atom has a place to sleep!!

We were just going to have him sleep in the dresser drawer, but I guess a real bed will have to do :)

Collette finished the sheet, and the bumper! Okay, how dang CUTE is that bed?? I'D sleep there, thats for sure!

It came together exactly how I thought it would, and the red bows add -just- the right touch! I know Atom is going to just love sleeping here!!


Tomorrow we sign the final papers on the house and get the keys! Finally! It seems like we've been waiting so long, and now that moving day is almost here, I'm not sure we're quite ready. But I can work on stuff durring the day while Mike is at work. My goal next week will be to get 90% of everything put away and organized so then for the next few weeks I can try and relax and get last minute baby stuff all taken care of.

Tonight Mikee and I went to Wunderland. That is always mucho fun! We won lots of tickets...we're saving them all to get something really good...like one of those pictures where it looks like the water is moving - lol. Now we're watching Harry Potter and winding down for the night.

Hope you all got outside and enjoyed the nice weather today! It wasn't 1/2 bad!

time for a shower

Today Baby and Mama are at the baby shower! yay!
Which is great for me because that means I get some time today just to my self. Which after my first week of work, will be nice. Now I'm not saying by any account that work is bad. It's the exact opposite of that actually. My only... and I mean only complaint... is that some patients call in their own refills, which requires them to try and pronounce their medications. I can deal with people having a hard time, I have a hard time... but hydrocortisone and hydrocodone are two very different medications.

anyways, there is awesome weather out there and I'm sitting inside watching soccer, I need to get out!

Loves!

Mikee

Going out to dinner tonight w/the family.
Baby shower tomorrow. Should = mucho fun!!

Thats it for now!

"hey, didn't you want to blog today?"

Yes, yes I did... Here we go:

Today I started the new job. and that's it.

Haha, that's really not it. It was really good, I got finger printed today, something that I've never done before. It was kinda fun. I mean crash test dummies and dogbert... I really thought I knew ethics.. but apparently I was wrong.

No, it was just a video.

Now I change gears on you!
I gotta tell you, I'm really happy. Things are just going so well. Yeah, we are both very lucky. Someone rub a lottery ticket on us or something!

blog blog

Today; Mom, Dad, & Atom packed up the cars with a couple handfuls of clothing and set off for Salem, Oregon.

Why? Well, tomorrow I start working at the new job. So we are taking the first couple steps towards being in the house... our new home.

Yup, so there it is, short and sweet. We are off to go put a deposit down to hold the house.

sock monkeys

Had some fun times with the MIL and DIL (mum in law & dad in law) this morning. We got breakfast at Bob's Red Mill which was delish, and then made our way over to Mill End Fabric who boasts that there is "no bigger display of fabrics in America". I think they are right.
We got fabric to make a new sheet, and bumper for the bassinet! What we ended up with might surprise you...but then again, maybe not -
SOCK MONKEYS!!! The fabric the monkeys on it will be the bumper, and the fabric that looks woven like the actual sock (even tho is not) will be the sheet!! TOO cute!!





Now don't worry...we haven't abandoned the 'rockets and robots' theme! They just didn't have any good fabric for that, and we all sort of fell for the monkeys. But, really, who wouldn't?? His 'big boy' room will be all spacey, but his baby bed will be filled with crazy monkeys :)

Also: I have done laundry today. Now I have clean clothes to wear and clean sheets to sleep on! I think I lucked out because Mike likes to do his own laundry - what a great guy! Speaking of which he is on his way home right now after hangen' out w/the guys all day...I should go get ready so we can get some dinner - yum!

oh, Portland...

This morning (we're talking like 9:30am) a drunk guy shouts at me and Mike while we're crossing the street.
"hey! when are you due?" and then proceeds to run over to talk to us. I quickly half step behind mike and whisper "don't let him touch me!" This dude looked like he wanted to rub some baby belly. YIKES!
He told me I looked like I was about to pop....which, I guess I kinda do...? I'm wearing a tight shirt today, but I told him I still have six weeks left.

Overall he was a nice guy...nice enough for being completely drunk at 9:30 in the morning. He just told us good luck, and told Mikee not to faint when the baby comes LOL

At least breakfast was good!
