crib cats

So, Emily is in France for the next six weeks living the life of a ski bunny which means Todd and I have become the foster parents to Ezra and Zoe. At first I was a little hesitant - only because we're getting so close to the due date - but they've been a lot of fun to have around.

We're finally in the process of setting up the nursery. Well, we've gotten as far as putting the crib together, which right now is sitting in the middle of the room piled with bedding and other stuff I don't know what to do with yet. Ezra and Zoe discovered it quickly and now it's their favorite place to nap. Obviously I would seriously discourage this if the cats were with us permanently, but I have to admit it's pretty cute.

Emily might have to buy a small crib for them when she gets back - and we'll probably go through about a case of lint rollers to remove the cat hair before the baby comes!

32 weeks

I can't believe how quickly the holidays came and went. My parents flew out from North Carolina and the five of us (me, Todd, Emily, Mom & Dad) headed up to Truckee for Christmas. It was our first white Christmas in years - and probably the last quiet one we'll have for years to come! Here are a couple pictures.

Todd and I were back in the city for New Year's and I'm proud to say that I actually stayed up until midnight! We've been getting the apartment ready and organized for the baby's arrival. Our two bedroom apartment - which seemed huge when we first moved in - is getting smaller and smaller. Yesterday we attended a childbirth preparation class run by the hospital. It was a long day but very informative - the videos were a pretty eye-opening! I think it's really starting to hit me just how close we are to having this baby. I'm kind of anxious but more excited than anything else. I can't wait to see what this little kick boxer looks like!
