had a bad day??? FELT THE BAY BAY!!!

So I had a bad day. A person showed the entirety of their ignorance and brought to life all the reasons why they will never have anything or be anyone worth a flip in life. Where along the way of growing up, do you learn that it is appropriate to yell down the hall of a professional building, in which clients are working with C.P.A.s, all the while mispronouncing words and proving to everyone the extent of your ignorance and the very reason you are at most a part time seasonal employee? Some how in our society today we have lost all concept of a professional attitude and what should and should not be done in public or what has business in a work place. This same person is the very one clients see asleep at her desk when they walk past her office. She is the very one who sat in front of a client talking into the blue tooth ear piece of her cell phone while they patiently waited for her to complete a service for which, they are paying over $500. Who ever said it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are ignorant than to open it and prove them correct was amazingly on point.

So when I crawled into bed last night next to my beautiful wife and scooted down to rest my head on her ever growing tummy I exhaled all the bad air of the day. I breathed deep and began to tell Emma of all the things we would do when she graced us with her presence and finished it off with a little song my aunt used to sing to me that went like this:

I have a daisy on my toe

It is not real, It does not grow

It's just a tattoo of a flower

So I look neat taking a shower

It's on the second toe-

Of my left foot

It's a stem and flower-

But it has no root

BECAUSE

That wouldn't look good

I have a daisy on my toe

It is not real, It does not

grow ow ow ow ow-

As I sat up and asked Char if she could feel anything from the baby she quickly grabbed my hand and put it on her belly and for the first time I felt our little baby girl-child move. I like to think she was dancing to my beautiful music more realistically she was probably trying to cover her budding ears or punch at whatever was making such a racket but no one will know so we will go with my theory of dance. At that moment the whole world became right.

IT'S A GIRL!!! WOOO WOO

some pix of what's been going on

Here are some pics of the bay bay furniture. We bought the crib and the other two peices I refinished and painted to match.


The ceremonial opening of the crib box!!! Dunt-ta-da-DUNNNNN!!!


We had to take a break...see the people laying beside the crib...


Finishing up...lookin good...can't wait to find out what we are having and decorate...I say he when talking about it and she says she...sooo what will it be.






I know, I know, you all are thinking ...I must have high expectations for already having a desk in the babies room...We are going to use it as our changing table. We figured why buy another peice of furniture when we have one that will work perfectly and can be used later. So we will put a wicker basket where the chair would go to catch dirty clothes or a hamper beside it and toys under it.

The dresser...I know it is blurry but that is the pic we have.

MARATHON SHOPPING

This weekend began and ended with both Char and I exhausted. I have been slammed at work and as soon as I got off I had to go fix a friend's dryer then I promptly came home and feel asleep while Char held my head and we discussed what to get for supper. An hour later she woke me and I had drooled on her shirt. So we went to get a burger.

Saturday we woke early and left for Jackson, MS. It is about 1.5 hrs away. We met my mom, stepdad, and foster bother there to shop. We went shopping for 11hrs!!! It was our first really baby shopping adventure. We have bought a crib and that is about it. Which I know is a big item but really we have been at a loss on what to buy until we find out what we are having. So this weekend we bought:

• 1 changing table pad
• 1 chicco front carrier
• 4 packs of lap/ burp pads
• 1 matteress pad
• 1bassinet pad
• 1 swaddle me thingie
• 1backpack diaper bag (totally awsome...char may have to get her a frilly one)
• 2 changing pad covers
• 1 baby tub
• AND MY FAVORITE...we built the bay bay a bear!!!

That was my favorite part. We made him floppy. We bought a couple of books about the first year and my favorite game. Then we went to the hotel and played it until 1 am. We also picked out the carseat and stroller we want and will prolly make another trip over to see my mom and buy them on the trip because there is almost 5% difference in sales tax.

Of course while shopping I did spot the lcd flat panel tv I want...but it didn't make it into the cart. oh well.

We find out what we are having on March 12th. So I will keep everyone posted.
