Yup, that's been keeping us busy the last few weekends! In fact, as I write this the baby's room is getting painted. We fast-tracked that because we have all the nursery furniture and don't want to set it up until the room is painted. So by next weekend, the room should have all it's furniture in place. We even have the bedding, so I can't wait to see that in the room. I just love seeing projects come together! Yesterday, we spent four hours at Babies R Us registering. I was so exhausted, and we aren't even done! Who knew a tiny little baby needs so much stuff? I hope it all fits in our condo...
We also started our series of baby classes this past week. The first one was baby care basics and this coming week's class we get to learn how to bathe, swaddle, change a diaper, etc. I can't wait to see Kelly do all those things. I bet (hope) he'll be a natural at it! This week we start a five-week session of childbirth prep classes. I'm kind of nervous because I'm sure they are going to show us all the scary stuff too! Oh well, I guess that's just part of it!

Happy 2010!
This is my first post for 2010...I can't believe it's already here! I hope everyone had a nice New Year's. Ours was pretty mellow. Kelly had to work New Year's Eve night, but we did celebrate with the east coast at 9 p.m. before Kelly had to leave for work. I made some appetizers, we had some of my ice cream birthday cake and we toasted with sparkling apple cider. With a New Year's kiss, off went Kelly to work and my mom and I watched Julie & Julia. It was a cute movie and was glad to finally see it. Once the movie ended I went to get read for bed figuring I would lay in bed and watch the countdown shows. Well, the next thing I knew it was almost 1 a.m. and I had fallen asleep with my glasses on. Go figure!
I started the New Year by making Pannetone French Toast (which was absolutely yummy) and watching the Rose Parade with my mom. But I must mention that I did wake up to a beautiful bouquet of red roses! I walked down the stairs in the morning and saw that Kelly had placed the flowers with a "Happy New Year!" note for me to see. What a wonderful husband and way to start the new year! Now back to the rest of the day. We watched the Rose Bowl game, although it was painful to watch without USC playing. Then we went over to Kelly's sister's house. We didn't get to see them at Christmas, so we finally got together for a Christmas, New Year's and birthday party. Kelly and I had a blast playing with our niece and nephew until late.
We spent the rest of the weekend running errands, shopping, picking out baby stuff and celebrating my cousin Judy's birthday with a girls' brunch. We finally decided on furniture for the baby's room and we purchased the bedding. We still need to go back and order the furniture, but the baby's room isn't even ready for it. Remember all those plans I had to organize the office and get the baby room ready over my week and a half off of work? Well, I spent one day doing it and of course didn't get it all done. But now that we'll have the furniture this weekend and we know what color we're going to paint since we purchased the bedding, I'm on fast mode....hopefully! I'll keep you updated and post some photos of our progress.
