Weekend Update

Highlights...

• Finding out we are having a BOY (but you already knew that!). I can't even tell you how surreal and awesome the ultrasound was. At one point we could see the little guy opening and closing his mouth and moving all over the place. Of course, he looked perfect to us!
  
• Kim stayed until Saturday - we had some major girl time...lots of shopping, Starbucks, ice cream, The Office, chick flicks, and joint computer time at the kitchen table :) I miss her already, it was so much fun to hang out with her!
  
• We grilled for the first time this year; Jason cooked us some mouth-watering steaks. Too bad that Baby has decided he doesn't like meat. I can usually have a few bites, but then I am done.
  
• I now regularly hit my stomach with the refrigerator door and I can't keep food off my stomach when I am cooking (I guess it just jumps out of the pan!). I spend a lot of time rubbing my stomach and apologizing to Baby. Poor kid probably has bruises already.
  
• Jason and I hit a consignment store looking for baby clothes and hit major pay dirt. Let's just say that someone is already spoiled. At least everything was cheap and in good shape, not to mention great brands.
• Our baby name is gradually seeping out...of my mouth. That's right, I can't keep my trap shut. If you do know the name, pretend you don't and that I never told you. (In my defense, Jason has told a few people, too!) It's only a matter of time before the whole world knows!
  
• I am currently watching BASEBALL...YEAH! I guess tonight is the opening of baseball season, but it starts for me tomorrow at 1:20 when the Cubs play the Braves at Wrigley. I do have a major confession. You will see from the photo of all the baby clothes that I broke down and allowed the purchase of an Indians onesie for Baby. It pains me to realize that though I am a lifelong Cubs fan, my kids will probably grow up to be Indians fans due to the fact that they are being raised 45 mins from Jacobs Field. I will still do my best to make sure they bleed Cubbie blue...but I cannot deny that some things are out of my control. Thus, the purchase of the onesie...one small step towards the American League and one giant step away from my Cubbies...sniff, sniff!
  

And now for the photos...
this is Kim and I trying hot mustard at the Chinese restaurant. You can hardly see the tiny amount on my finger. That's all it took!

This is the ONLY pic I have of me and Kim together - sad, huh? I like how we stopped in front of the "no stopping" sign. This is on Saturday when we dropped her off.

Here are two gifts we received that were supposed to be our "Baby Items of the Week" for last week but someone didn't get around to posting the picture! The ball and glove (in Cubs colors!) is from Kim and Martain, and the links are from my friend Dottie. Thank you!

And here is Baby's booty from the consignment shop, as well as a few things from Babies R Us and Gymboree. I think all of this will cover us for our "Baby Item of the Week"...my absolute favorite is the tee that says "I didn't do it". Is that just perfect for our kid, or what?

Have a great week, everybody! Come back and visit, Kim!
XOXO,
Jason, Angie, and Baby
