there's a chance that, if we don't have a baby this weekend and I keep up my current level of productivity, that I might run out of things to do. Oh, the horror! :)
Sean stacked all the birth announcements like this as he finished up the covers...meanwhile I addressed all the envelopes...it feels SO good to know that we got as much as we could done with these. Also that, simple as they may be, they're homemade. With the introduction of Miss Darby there will be the swift exit of the time we've had to undertake these kinds of projects...so one last massive, homemade, assembly-line undertaking for a few years.
Sean coined the term, "Baby Watch 2006" to describe of our life at this point, when we we talking to my dad last night....the local news stations always have their "Storm Watch" to hype up the latest chance of Southern California getting .001 of an inch of rain.
My dad was in town briefly on his way home to Oklahoma from a trip to the Philippines. He told me he had something for me from a "fun day" he had on his trip. I have to admit I feared what it could be since "fun" as far is he's concerned usually involves something like a knee arthroscopy or some crazy outdoor venture...like pigs or broom corn (don't ask). Last night he handed me a little box that held a pair of sea water pearl earrings he had made for me and a little pair for Darby. He proudly told me he brought back pearl earrings for all his girls. Since he has all daughters, and a step-daughter, and a wife and a soon-to-be grand-daughter he had a lot of earrings to buy. :) I've got to say though, his enthusiasm was the best gift.
So "Baby Watch" continues...Sean and I have plans to take Roxana out again tonight...dinner and movie or whatever else she wants to do...going into labor would be fun...
