Why I Married Chris
Well, one of the reasons, any way… Homemade Ravioli!!! And here’s some pictures from after dinner when both Nora and I were really happy…

Dad’s Visit
Well, my dad left Friday and we had a great (busy!) visit. He helped me out with quite a few house things I’d never gotten around to doing, like pianting, getting a second garage door opener, and putting our towel bars on right. We also went to eat a Chris’ resturant and visited the Walkway…

Future Supermodel
Nora is one month old today! Grandpa Rik, my dad, came for a visit yesterday and we’re having a great time – and keeping very busy! Today, we ran all kinds of errands, including getting the Toyota washed, going to the grocery store, and to Home Depot for painting supplies (dad offered to help me…

A Whole Night
First the baby news: Last night, Nora slept from 12:30 am until 7:30 am. Holy cow, it was great! (And as a result, I’ve been doing laundry and I even swept the kitchen floor – yay for feeling well rested!) So, yesterday was Chris’ first official day of work at Painter’s Tavern. Remember them? He…

Three Weeks
Nora is three weeks old today! In honor of her three week “birthday,” here are some pictures from the week. Daddy and Nora Nap Time Super Cute Baby Feet Cloth diapers finally fit! Hey, maybe bath time isn’t so bad… Nora’s birthday card for dad is almost as big as her!…

Welcome Home
We’ve had Nora home for a week now and have been having a great time with her. She is very easy going (with the exception of the first time Chris and I tried to bathe her – it was too cold) and has been letting us sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night. She…

41 Weeks & 1 Day
Well, we had an interesting doctors appointment today. Chris picked me up from work at 1:00 and we headed, first, to Northern Dutchess for a sonogram and a peek at baby. Baby scored 8/8 on the biophysical profile and looks great. We could even see him or her practicing breathing the amniotic fluid in and…

The 10th Month
Still hanging in there and hanging out. I worked all week this week. It was slowing down a bit since the semester starts Monday, but still relatively busy (I had to finalize my goals for 2009-2010). It wasn’t bad, though, that baby decided to give me this week, because it let me do that and…

Due Date
Well, that’s it, I’m officially in the 10th month and 40th week of being pregnant – thank goodness I feel so great, because this baby has some serious procrastination genes (from both sides). I’m surprised we didn’t get more phone calls today – just one from my brother Brandon. And it was probably a pretty…

Peaches
Chris and I had a very busy and productive last weekend (hopefully!) before the baby comes. I did laundry, swept and mopped; Chris organized the pantry and cleaned the bathtubs. And, of course, this was a weekend for one of my favorite hobbies: canning! Last Sunday, Chris and I went to the Peach & Wine…

The News Is…
No news. Sorry. Boy, yesterday was the day for phone calls. I suppose everyone is getting a little bit anxious to hear about grandbaby, because we got a call from just about every one of our parents this weekend. And today even the Dean of the School of Management asked me what my doctor has…
