So what else has been happening?

The short answer is Baby.

On October 6, while I was in Philly, Teri had a Baby Shower at home. It went well and I thank everyone who came to the shower. Everything that was received was great! And we really appreciate it all.

So I got home, and it's time to get the Rebbecca's room together. First step was cleaning it out. This was actually accomplished in September (for the most part). Then Teri wanted to paint the room. Initially she picked a yellow color. I wasn't too wild about this and we went to Walmart and agreed on a lavender color. This worked out much better with the blue carpet. That being settled, the furniture needed to be assembled. We did one piece together, but this was a good thing to have Teri's parents involved. So we picked an evening and we assembled all of the furniture.

This past weekend, my sister and brother-in-law came over and painted. This really wasn't my thing, and it was theirs, so I worked on creating a DVD for my sister. You have to know your skills. My sister actually ended up coming over Thursday-Sunday. Between painting, and playing cards. Finally the room was painted and dried. The next step was putting up the wall mural. This done, we put the furniture in it's proper place. All done there too. You can see the results from the picture below. I think everything worked out pretty well. Now we are waiting on the guest of honor.

The weigh in

On Monday, 10/22, Teri went for her last, detailed, sonogram. There was concern for about a week that the baby had turned to a breach position. Monday the sonogram revieled that she flipped back to the correct position. Also they gave a current weight estimate. With a month to go, Rebbecca weighs 7 lbs, 13 oz. They expect her to gain about a half pound a week from this point on. So we are looking at a 10 pound bundle of joy!
