MIA

Here are some pictures of Mia Kate.

Due Date

Well, today is Marleene's due date but so far nothing is happening. On Tuesday night Marleene lost her mucous plug, so things seem to be progressing along. Her next appointment is on Monday but we are sure hoping that it happens before then, preferably this weekend.

We will keep everyone updated via email/phone/text.

Counting The Days...

Well here we are 10 days until Marleene's due date. With each passing day we find ourselves asking "Is this baby ever going to be born?" I know, I know, everyone keeps telling us that first babies are usually late, but geeze this past week or so has been awful, just sitting, and waiting and wondering... Our doctor is out of town for the rest of the week on vacation with his family (how dare he leave this close to our due date?!) so I guess it would be ok if we make it until next week. It would be hard to imagine going through 9 months with the same doctor, then all of the sudden to have some new person there for the biggest part of the whole process, well, that would just be weird.

Marleene's next doctor appointment is on Monday, and I am hoping that things will have progressed enough by then that we will get to just go across the parking lot to the hospital and have this baby. This waiting stuff is getting ridiculous. So who knows, maybe by this time next week baby Mia will be here and I will be blogging about a serious lack of sleep and the wonders of parenthood. One can only hope....

Nursery Revealed!

Here I am hard at work trying to figure out how to put the crib together...

And the finished product...

Let the countdown begin

Ok, as you may or may not know, Marleene is pregnant. Schwing! We are now entering the home stretch, this Saturday (March 7) will be her 37th week. Which leaves us with not much time before baby graces us with her presence.

Marleene's due date is March 27th. However, I am predicting an early birth. Originally I was predicting between the 14 & 17th, but I have since changed my prediction to more in the 20-23rd. When they last did an ultrasound the dr guesstimated the tiny tot to be almost 5 pounds, and this was at least 2 weeks ago, so she is surely over 5lbs now, and might we be on her way to a whopping 6 pounds.

So, if you would like to make a prediction date of birth, or weight at time of birth, please do! I will keep you updated as we progress with "Countdown to Baby."

Addict

OK wow, I am completely addicted to a new Nintendo Wii game that I got for Christmas. I had this same game back on the Gamecube and got totally addicted to it as well. But since the Wii has the ability to connect to the intranet the addictiveness is mucho grande!

What game could it be you might be asking.....

Its a simple enough game, you have a character that moves into a town full of upright walking and talking animals. You do basic stuff like fish, dig for fossils, buy furniture for you house etc... Yet even though it is a simple game, it is crazily addictive. Then add the ability to visit other gamers towns via wifi and this game steps up to a whole new level of addiction! Now not only can you buy and sell and fish and dig at your own town... but at other peoples too! YAY!

Ah, just sitting here writing this makes me wish I was at home with Wii Remote and Nun-chuck in hand..... Oh, and its totally one of those games that makes no sense to people who havent played it, but trust me, its good mind numbing fun....

Update....

Wow... time has really gotten away from me. So sorry for the no updating of the blog in the past few months (to the 1 or 2 of you out there who read this thing). Anyways, here is a little update for everyone. Marleene and I are a mere 6 weeks away from our expected due date! Yes thats right, little baby Wible is on course for a March 27th arrival (although I think it will be sooner...) Yikes! 6 weeks! Holy smokes this pregnancy has gone by fast!

We are putting the finishing touches on the nursery, amassing the "necessary" items needed when you add a baby to the mix and I am having a grand ole time watching Marleene waddle around and get out of breath walking from the fridge to the couch and vice versa! For those who dont already know, we are expecting a baby girl, and thusly the nursery has been painted a wonderful combination of pink and white with black accents. I will post pictures once the room is finished, but I must say, it is looking very nice...

Again I apologize for letting so much time fall between my updates, but rest assured, I will *try* to keep them coming more regularly. And Im sure, once the bambino is here, pictures will be added regularly! Enjoy!
