Quote of the Day: "Wow, look at this, just 3 more pages left..."

Megan says, as she makes some of the final entries in her "Belly Book", the book she has kept, documenting the pregnancy. Well, that's about how we feel, certainly "anticipatory" (the word I recently coined on the phone, while talking with Anne Eshelman) she in good form, offered an alternative word..."expectant"... ah yes... expectant. So here we sit in the advent of a major life change, not sure what to think, just certain that if the rumor holds, it'll be wonderful.

The recent changes here, are that the kid ("the baby" as Mom Voss prefers us to say) is still kicking and hiccuping like crazy. Megan is increasingly tired, but because she is Megan, her nesting was ferocious and early and our house is beautifully set up...we even have our carseat, so we'll not only be able to bring the kid into the world, but we'll be able to bring him home. Speaking of the carseat, at a baby shower several of Mom Voss' friends got us a beautiful Travel System stroller...we were stoked, a Jogger Crossover with inflatable tires, that had the babycarrier that clicked in and served as a carseat also. When we returned to Salisbury, we thought we ought to make sure it would work with our lifestyle before opening it, and we have friends with the same one, so we went to their home with Meg's 1994 Honda Accord, and folded up the stroller to have her try to put it in the trunk (weight was the concern). Well, glad we checked, the stroller didn't fit through the opening of the trunk, no possible way to get it in there...so back to Babysrus. More research and we found a simlar one, 3 wheels, really cool, but smaller lighter and more maneuverable....and able to fit in our trunk, we are quite pleased.

In other good news, we now have our Crib....not any crib, but the same crib that Charles Otis Voss (Meg's Grandad) slept in when he was an infant...he's in his nineties...also sleeping there her dad and sibs, Megan and sisters...and now little Blankity Blank Garrity. It is cast iron and so classy, especially invogue as some of the older styles are SO back in. It was painted white generations ago, and Mom and Dad Voss got it Powder Coated and painted again, so it is like a new white car...it is beautiful...see! (pic coming)
