It’s the final countdown…

I can’t believe that in exactly two weeks I’ll be sitting at my desk, and not the desk I’m at now. Instead I’ll be sitting at my desk on the 7th floor of Parkview Tower. I will be in the middle of my first day back to work since Rylee’s arrival. And hopefully I won’t be sitting at my desk in tears. I’m already starting to get weepy when I think about going back to the office on August 7th. From talking to my friends the first few days back are no joke. They are the toughest days of your life. Wonderful.

Rylee is getting so big. At her last doctor appointment, a few weeks ago, she was 12lbs and 22″ long. She is staying awake more during the day and trying to sleep longer at night. We really love that last part! Here’s a photo of a recent nap time in our house.

Today is Bill’s birthday. Happy Birthday to you from Rylee and me. We love you lots!

Weekend Project

After attending Bill’s cousin’s wedding in New Jersey on Saturday we decided that we needed to get up and get some things done today. By the way, the wedding was beautiful and there was more food at the reception than I’ve ever seen at one before. It was a nice day all around. We’ll put some photos up in our photo album soon.

Today Bill tackled the small wall around the front flower bed. We got approval from the housing committee about a year ago to put it in. We figure that approval is still good. He also put in the solar lights. They look pretty cool tonight. He’s going to put another wall around the tree in the front yard. A project for another weekend. And yes, we do realize that there is a shutter missing, we’re working on having that corrected.

Friday evening we got the call that the crib mattress we ordered was in and two weeks early! Today I ran out to get that so that I could put the finishing touches on the crib. Basically put everything in it. That was my smaller project. I also got lots of other stuff done around the house today. Don’t think that doing the crib wiped me out for the day.

Our pack ‘n play is also now set up and ready. I’m considering starting to pack a hospital bag. Some people feel that I should already have it done. I’m thinking that the calendar needs to be flipped to May for me to get it ready. I know that’s only two days away, but maybe in another week or so I’ll start it.

So here’s a few photos to go under the heading of “Lookie what I did!”
