Almost there!

Well, just 3 shorts weeks to go. No photo this week, but things are coming along. Liz said BBC is getting bigger and she is becoming more uncomfortable. She also sleeps a lot and says when she lays down he moves way too much.

Things are pretty much ready to go. We are in the wait and hold pattern. The rocking chair still isn't here yet, but my guess is it will when BBC joins us.

I will keep the blog and Facebook updated and post photos here first so everyone can see. Should be exciting, so check back often.

"Shower"













show⋅er 

 /ˈʃaʊər/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [shou-er]
–noun
1.a brief fall of rain or, sometimes, of hail or snow.
2.Also called shower bath. a bath in which water is sprayed on the body, usually from an overhead perforated nozzle (showerhead).
3.the apparatus for this or the room or stall enclosing it.
4.a large supply or quantity: a shower of wealth.
5.a party given for a bestowal of presents of a specific kind, esp. such a party for a prospective bride or prospective mother: a linen shower; a baby shower.
6.a fall of many objects, as tears, sparks, or missiles.

I hope the showers Liz went to with her friends (family, high school, mutual) was not as described in #6 above. I think the correct definition is #5. Showers are a girls thing, not a guys thing. I will say, though, that when Liz and I got married, we had a great couples shower thrown by friends of ours and we had a great time.

Liz had a series of showers being given by her friends and family. Two weekends ago was the "girlfriends" shower. This past week was hosted by her sister, Ally, and friend from Texas, Meggan. In the coming weeks, showers are being held by my co-workers and Liz's co-workers.

The BBC has more stuff than Liz and I put together now! That's ok though, we are getting some great stuff and can't wait for the new arrival. Our friends Bob and Erin had their son yesterday, Joesph Francis Busch. Congrats! We went to birthing class with them, so now the arrival of BBC becoming more of a reality.

Enjoy these photos from the friends' shower.
