The Mama and Papa: This week Mommy went shopping with Steph in the states for more baby items. She bought lots of little outfits and your crib mobile. The breast cancer dinner was this week too. Mommy won two pedicures, much needed pedicures since Daddy refused to paint her toe nails, and her baby belly is too big to bend over. This weekend, Daddy spent time putting together your exerciser, swing and jolly jumper. We also packed for the hospital. Now we are just waiting for you to decide to make your appearance. |
