Taking a break between the pain. (Think good thoughts)

Waiting for our room at the hospital


Daddy's Ready (at least he thinks so!)


Mommy's Ready

38 Weeks!

It's hard to believe the big day is so close. If it doesn't happen before, I'm going to be induced on Wed. Nov 26! It will definitely be the best Thanksgiving ever.

Here are a few photos of us playing with our new camera and tripod in the backyard.

Baby Sweeny's Nursery

Although the colors are a little off, here are the pics of the baby's pad. I just hope he/she will be able to sleep in such a bright room! Grandma Sweeny made the beautiful bedding, MiMi (my mom) painted the walls and bookcase, and I painted the animal prints above the crib. We've had fun pulling it all together.






(This is closer to the actual wall color)








This rug was made by my mom for my nursery 30 years ago!

Our Little (well, BIG) Fur Baby

Bacchus loves to snuggle up by the kitchen door. So sweet. Until he wakes up with too much energy!
