11 days

Next week, may be the week I have my first baby boy. Could be this week too, but we'll say it's next week for now. :)

We went to the doctor last Friday, and so far everything is still on track for August 6th. I'm definitely feeling more tired and unable to do a whole lot without needing to rest for a few - which I think it pretty good since i have less that two weeks left at this point! I am feeling more and more ready to get my body back though - excited to do a real work out again at the gym, and be able to put lotion on my legs without doing it in stages.

I think we've decided on the final three names for this little boy too - we're still going to wait to tell people, but at least we've got some good solid choices!

The grandparents have all gotten their tickets to come out and meet their grandson, and future plans are already in the works for the visits after that! And it sounds like we may be taking our first flight with baby Rosdil in October for a very special Rosdil wedding - Andy's brother may push his wedding day up to fall instead of spring! So we'll start crossing our fingers now that we have a good baby on that plane!

18 days to go time

WOW, really? 18 days?? ok...guess we better make sure we're ready!!

I did have a great weekend kicking off the "less than 3 weeks" mark with some awesome ladies! Some friends here in Denver put together a joint baby shower "tea" for a friend and I (She is due 3 weeks after me). We met at the Brown Palace and had tea and treats! What a wonderful treat that was! :)

Lego and her club foot

This weekend we took Lego in for a routine shot, only to have her foot get caught on the door and sliced open - requiring her to get stitches! So here she is, with her second "foot wrap" - affectionately earning the nickname "club leg." Poor thing, but it doesn't seem to hurt her, even when we fall down laughing as she tries to run up the stairs.

9th month stretch!

Andy took a few pics of me to capture the belly just weeks away from arrival - and of course he had to be in at least one as well!

36 weeks

Today marks the 36 week point! I'll get a picture up this weekend!

What's in a name?

Last night Andy and I talked to my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa on skype. They all now have cameras for their computers so they can see the baby when we talk - after he arrives of course.

Well as usual, the topic of what the baby's name will be came up. Everyone (including me) wants to know what this little guy will be called for the rest of his life. So my mom throws out a couple names, Brock and something else, and my dad pipes in and says something like, "why don't you just name him from the source, and call him Dick." We all laugh, and I say something like then he would officially be, "Richard Raymond Rosdil" - aka Dick. At that moment Grandpa speaks up and says, "if you're going to call him Dick, why don't you just name him Penis?"

Yep, that's a pretty typical conversation with my family. I'm sad Abbie missed it, since she's the one who's known for making jokes about sex always coming up in our house when we get together. Either way my dad got a good laugh out of it, and we all ended the skype chat with smiles.

I can say this, baby Rosdil, you have nothing to worry about. Though we welcome suggestions, I don't know that we'll be settling on either of those names for you. But the conversation with your grandparents and great grandparents was one worth writing down.

a little fixing up

this picture was from the baby shower, but i fiddled with it a bit, and think it looks better!
