It's the final countdown!

June 19 we hit the "oh my gosh in one month the baby will be here!" date. It's the final countdown! Sarah's in full nesting (i.e. task-master) mode and our week was full.

Monday was the third of four childbirth prep classes in which we really got into the nitty-gritty details of labor and delivery. Sarah had a few moments where she decided she didn't want to give birth. Luckily the feeling has passed.

Wednesday Sarah met friends at the Tin Fish for dinner and Mike enjoyed grilled pork chops (what a treat!) with the neighbors.

Thursday we attended a breastfeeding class through the hospital. Mike was worried he would be the only guy but there were 6 couples participating.

Friday we had a doctor's appointment and everything is looking good and right on target. Sarah is now 36 weeks along and will be visiting the doctor weekly. In the evening we headed to a park to meet Sarah's cousin Amy and her 5 kids - including Sarah's 7 month old Godson, Daren, for a picnic. He's such a cutie and a very mellow baby. We can only hope a little of that good natured mellowness rubs off on Lil' Mikey!

Saturday we worked on the nursery. Mike assembled the crib, bouncer chair, bookshelf, footstool, and stroller. Sarah washed and sorted all of Lil' Mikey's clothes and started organizing the nursery. (He now has more clothes then his dad!) We also attended Sarah's cousin Dan's graduation party and ran errands.

Sunday we rested - NOT! Tasks today included lawn mowing, cleaning, adult laundry, making a unique art project for the nursery (stay tuned for pics), prenatal yoga, and dinner with Sharon. All in all it was a very productive week and Mike and Sarah feel much more prepared for baby's pending arrival. AND after all of this craziness Mike and Sarah are still talking and are getting more and more excited for Lil' Mikey's arrival! Happy Father's Day to our dads and all dads and dads-to-be!
