The Nursery

As promised ages ago, here are some photos of the nursery! I will post some more of Wheaton soon.

We are still waiting for the curtains and the dust ruffle for the crib, but below is a picture of the fabrics so you can visualize........

Hi everyone!

OK, so I know I said that I was going to do a post every Sunday, but we went to my parents place at the Chesapeake Bay this weekend and did not have access to the computer. As many of you well know, traveling with a baby means packing A LOT more stuff. Bringing the laptop on a long weekend just wasn't in the cards! We had a wonderful time! Here are some photos of Wheaton's first trip!

Chillin' out with Mimi

Grampy (Adam's dad) was there!

Wheaton really seemed to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at the bay!

With Papa!

We had a great time visiting with Uncle Bob, Aunt Anita, cousin Nathan, Nynke, and Nyle

This is the life!

Hope everyone enjoyed the last few days of summer. I plan to post some pictures of the nursery (which is pretty much done) on Sunday. And, who knows, maybe I will actually get a chance to add some text to my post again one of these days.

Welcome to our site!

Hello everyone! I had the pleasure of viewing an awesome pregnancy blog recently and decided it would be a wonderful way to keep in touch with all of our out of town family and friends throughout the pregnancy. It is so hard being far away from family and friends, especially during such an exciting time. We have family and friends in Colorado, Florida, Canada, Bethesda, Georgia, North Carolina, Northern Virginia, New York, Scotland, California, Connecticut, Alaska, Michigan, and Arizona. Sadly, we may not see many of them until after the baby arrives. I don't mean to exclude any in town family and friends of course! We hope you all will enjoy our little site.

This is my first attempt at "blogging" so please be patient. I plan to try and post at least once a week and include a picture of my growing belly. So I hope you all will feel free to post comments or ask questions. To those of you who may be less fascinated by all things baby, please do not feel obligated to respond to, or even read this blog. Believe me, I know what it is like to look at someone else's ultrasound and be like, "Wow, that's amazing" as I try to figure out which end is up. All disclaimers aside, I hope you all enjoy our site. I have sure had fun with it so far.

I am sure many of you are wondering where we got the title for our blog. Well, everyone has heard the stereotypes about pregnancy and food cravings. Whether it is pickles and ice cream or chocolate and french fries (which doesn't sound half bad right now actually). Well, this phenomenon occurred very early in my pregnancy and even though I have heard about it for years, I was shocked by it's magnitude. As many of you know, I am a very picky eater and usually sustain myself on items from a relativity limited list of vegetarian foods. Well, this all changed sometime in late December. I could no longer bare the thought of hummus and pita, cottage cheese on my salad, or cereal with soy milk. All of the sudden I wanted burritos, mashed potatoes and peas, and grits! I was utterly confused and disoriented. Adam, on the other hand, was thrilled to have a more adventurous dining companion.

Anyway, one of my cravings has been for vanilla frozen yogurt (soft serve only) with rainbow sprinkles. Now, one would not think this would be a difficult combination to come by; however despite days of searching I learned that there is only one frozen yogurt shop left in Richmond, Va. and it it is a less than convenient location (especially when you are dealing with late night cravings). The only logical solution seemed to be to purchase a soft serve ice cream maker on-line. After the machine arrived in the mail, I realized that finding the rainbow sprinkles may be just as big a challenge. All of the rainbow sprinkles I found (at Ukrop's, Kroger, and any other grocery store I passed) also had chocolate sprinkles mixed in (which is just wrong if you asked me).

The ice cream maker turned out to be a real pain (imagine that), and I am planning to send it back. I will just buy frozen yogurt at the store, but until the craving passes, the quest for rainbow sprinkles continues!
