Fun Facts

Sorry everyone, no news yet. BUT, here's a few fun facts about the next few days...

If our daughter is born on:

Oct. 31st  -----  She'll be a Halloween baby, and possibly the 7 Billionth person on the planet
Nov. 1st    ----    She'll be born on 11/1/11   (which is Staci's guess)
Nov. 3rd   ----   She'll be born on 11/3/11 , then she'll come home with us (to apt. # 11311)
Nov. 7th   ----   She'll be born on our 3rd anniversary! (wow)
Nov. 9th   ----   She'll be born on her DUE DATE (does that ever happen?)
Nov. 11th ----   She'll be born on 11/11/11
Any time after that  ---- She'll be huge. haha

Well there you go. Probably not that exciting, but I thought I'd give the sign-seekers something to chew on till the little one shows up! If you can think of any other fun facts about the next few days, shout out in the comments below. Regardless of when she comes however, it will be her birthday, and for that reason alone it will be important.

I'll need a new blog title soon...

Hey folks. So I don't know when the countdown begins, especially because counting down always makes big events take longer to get here. Not to mention the countless people who have interjected that the first baby is 'always late', then they trail off with "except this one time... and my sister's... and my neighbor's... and my..." blah blah blah.

I'm not saying she definitely won't be late, but I do know it's not an exact science predicting when she's due. Considering unpredictable periods, surprising ultrasound statistics and other what-not, I'll just say I'm going to be happy to see my daughter when she gets here.

(my daughter... whoa!)

She's due November 9th so sometime between now and Thanksgiving expect the news :P
Anyway Staci had her baby shower this past Thursday, and received a wonderful assortment of gifts. Thank you all for thinking of us as we truly appreciate your love and support.

As we prepare for 'labor day' it was very relieving to see us get so much of what we need. I was surprised to see that we were given some really great "extras" (the awesome, but non-essential baby items), but we still need to get some basics like wipes, bottles, and a pad for our changing table. There are a few gadgets and baby supplies I'm pretty excited about but I won't spoil it in case Staci wanted to blog the details.

We did get a few duplicate items we might swap for those essentials (I'm guessing we don't need 3 of the exact same toy) but all in all we're just excited. I know Staci is in need of some well deserved time off of work, but yes she and I will be working harder than ever I'm sure.
