First off, if you could not tell from the above picture, we have decided on a name for our baby girl. Elena, Elena Fordyce Frost to be exact. With a baby name picked and with Gillian already being 33 weeks pregnant we decided it was time to decorated our daughters room.
Two weekends ago I painted the room formerly known as the office, a bright teal, I was surprised how much I really like the color. The Friday before Memorial Day, Marissa and Linda came down to help decorate. Linda made a hanging quilt to go along with the ocean theme and Marissa hand painted all the letters and hot glued the sea creators, I stood on the ladder and was told where to stick everything to the wall.
Now after all this decorating, I really hope it is a girl.
…and mothers-to-be in my family. Happy Mother’s Day!
So I have not updated this thing in a while so here is a shotgun approach to what has been going on.
Gillian is final starting to look pregnant, this makes me happy.
We took a trip out to Colorado to see Chris and Kathleen and Eppley and their new house. For the most part we just hung out and caught up, nothing to exciting, we are getting old I guess. For some reason I didn’t take many pictures. I wanted to take a picture of the Outback in its natural habitat…the Colorado Mountains, but never did for some reason, I did take this picture of children wearing gas masks though. It was great to see Chris and Kathleen, and their new house is beautiful, you will just have to trust me.
This last weekend was very baby focused, I mean more so than normal. Friday, a large packaged showed up, to our surprise it was a car seat and stroller from my Aunt Mary. I want to strap Nerf guns to either side, so it looks more like ED-209. Thank you Aunt Mary!! and for the record, yes that was a RoboCop reference. The rest of the weekend was one of our typical whirlwind trip to Lincoln/Omaha to visit all of our friends and family. Saturday, we drove to Lincoln, Gillian went to Sarah’s baby shower, I helped Santi pick up their new coffee table and then we had lunch and drank beer, it was good. After the shower, Gillian and I drove to Omaha to take pictures of Lyda going to prom, go out to dinner for mt sister’s birthday and help her assemble baby stuff and test my sister’s baby carriers, oh and I installed a new ceiling fan in my mom’s house. On Sunday Santi’s parent, who were in from Argentina, wanted to buy us “something for the baby”. We went to Nebraska Furniture Mart and picked out a glider, it is officially the nicest piece of furniture we own…Thank You, Juan and Maria!! We then had lunch to celebrate Mark and Lyda’s birthday.
I am sure there has been plenty more that I am forgetting, but since most the people who read this where probably there, I don’t feel that bad for leaving something out.
So I haven’t posted in a while and I feel like I should, but I don’t really have much to type about.
For those who don’t already know, Gillian is 19 weeks pregnant now. I would love to tell some story about our adventures in pre-parenthood, but I can’t. Gillian has been feeling fine, not sick, no crazy cravings, she has been tired but she was never much of a night owl anyway. It has all been very easy…on me, as she keeps reminding me. My only complaint is she is not showing very much. If she is pregnant I want her to look pregnant!
Umm, lets see…I’m really tired of all the snow and cold. My truck is still for sale, seriously buy my damn truck!
Gillian and I upgraded to new phones and a new phone plan so we can use all their features, the numbers are the same but now we can read our e-mail!
The furnace blower motor is off-balance, so it has been making a funny noise. I tried to fix it, but when I start taking the furnace apart Gillian gets nervous, so I stopped. I should really call the furnace guy.
After nearly a year of living next to an abandon house, we have new neighbors. They moved in last weekend, we have not yet met them, they drive a white Dodge Nitro.
So yea, nothing much to read here, carry on.
This is where you read about Gillian and me trying not to fail at life. I will probably be doing most of the failing, it's inevitable.
