Tick, tock.....tick, tock....tick...tick....tick

I thought it was time to change the format of the blog. I hope you like it.

Okay, we've completed week 36 now waiting this baby to arrive. What's he doin' in there anyway? People keep askin' "do we have a baby yet"? My usual response is "No, he's still simmerin' in the slow cooker." Okay, let's turn up the heat already and get this thing to a rollin' boil and build up enuf pressure to pop the lid off this thing! Tick, tick... tick... tick... tick....

Mama T is at Wal-Mart right now tryin' to get her baby registry all situated and completed.

Last Sunday I think it was, I unboxed the Evenflo car seat/stroller/traveling ensemble and began putting things together. I was able to get the stroller all assembled after a bit. Now, all I need to do is get the car seat platform permanently installed in the vehicle. I learned a couple weeks ago that a hospital will not release a baby from the hospital to go home until you have a car seat properly installed in your vehicle.

It was Thursday night I believe that I'd texted the baby's grandmother askin her to call me. So called a few minutes later and we had a good chat. She shared with us that her daughter (birth mommy) had made her 'spit shake and pinky swear' that she would be there to help her during delivery and push this baby out! G'ma told us there wasn't any way her daughter was going to do this with out her. She said that when her daughter calls her and tells her "IT'S TIME", G'ma has promised us that we'll be her next call. So, we've already GOOGLED the hospital and printed out the map so we can grab it when we get the call. Yesterday, I assigned an old fashioned telephone ring tone to birth G'ma's phone number and played it for Mama T. I told her that if she hears this ring tone.....it's SHOW TIME!!!

Last week, birth mommy texted me late morning on Monday sayin' she'd had contractions all night long and into Monday morning. She said "we may be havin' a baby today!" Later that day, I packed a "go bag" for Mama T and put in my camera and tripod and stuck in some fresh batteries.

I thought I would post a few pics here of our apartment home as it is right now to keep this post visually interesting; because I'm sure that once the baby comes.....well, I'm sure you can fill in the blank!

Baby's bed at foot of ours with our "to go" clothes draped over the side.

the black "to go" bag is on this side of the baby's bed so we can just grab it and go whenever "THE CALL" comes.
