 | September 4, 2004:
- We're down to the homestretch -- only about two weeks until Peabo is due! Of course, that really means that the baby could come any day now (or four weeks from now!), so we're pretty much just watching and waiting. We did take some very nice pregnancy portraits of Renée a few days ago, showing her belly in all of its swollen splendor. Chris also made an appearance in a few photos, but he is not nearly as cute.
- Since our last update, we've been to two baby showers. The first one was thrown by the Lobbyrats at Courtney's house and featured cookout food and inappropriate word games. The second one, held by Vicki Douglas, featured a diaper-clad Chris and much more appropriate word games. We received lots of cool stuff, and thank you notes will be forthcoming.
- Yesterday we purchased our travel system. Though the one we got (the Graco Glider in the Spectator print) was not our initial choice, we both liked it. Chris particularly liked the easy one-hand folding mechanism, while Renée liked the fact that the print was very 1970's-looking.
- Lost in all the hubbub of Peabo's impending arrival is another important date quickly approaching: our one-year wedding anniversary! On September 20th, we will celebrate 365 days of hitched-ness (366 actually, since this was a leap year). We've also recently celebrated one year of home ownership, though that celebration really just consisted of looking at a calendar and saying, "A year ago we bought our house." However, we hope to get some sort of cool thing for our home as a house-iversary present to ourselves, and (Peabo willing) we will also try to do something nice on our anniversary.
- And last, but oh-so-certainly not least, we made a delicious pie the other day from a Woman's Day recipe. It is a Mint Chocolate Ice Cream Pie, and we have enjoyed it thoroughly. We would invite everybody to come over and try it, but we are selfish and are going to eat it all ourselves.
