Waiting Game

Well, we are at 39weeks (and two days) in the pregnancy. The favorite question of Carrie's coworkers has been "Your still here???" There seems to be a mixed opinion as to when our little Baby Brown is going to make an appearance. Last week's doctor's visit brought a "labor will probably come before your due date," from one doctor. Today, at this week's visit, it was more like "it could be any day, but let's schedule your induction date, just in case."

I'm sure those of you keeping track of Baby Brown through the blog will learn, either by the phone chain, from one of us/our family members, or when we get back to computer land the whens and whats of Baby Brown's arrival. We are definitely becoming eager to meet her. And, I know many are just as curious to learn what her name will be.

Stay tuned...

More Showers

Apparently April isn't the only month for showers. May has definitely had it's fill of well wishes and gifts for Baby Brown. We don't have any pictures from those events, as yet. None-the-less, so may people have show us great support, encouragement, and generosity as we await Baby's big entrance into the world. May 1st bought a "double" shower at one of the schools that Carrie works at - Henderson ES. "Double" in the fact that we were celebrating two pregnancies. Just a few days later,May 5th, friends and family gathered at Mom and Dad Brown's house to celebrate. It was so many friends there... many whom I haven't had a chance to see since before or early in the pregnancy. It was a blast. On May 9th, it was Tim's turn to be showered... Many of his co-workers came together to celebrate Baby Brown. He was very excited and we were both touched by their generosity as well. The showers wrapped up on May 16th, with the 3rd of Carrie's work sites, Montclair ES, having a Ladybug themed shower. From the yummy cake w/ the school's mascot (a cardinal) and baby ladybug cake, to the ladybug hors d'oeuvre, they made sure that Baby Brown's ladybug themed room was recognized! After all of these showers and the encouragement/support we think we are as ready as we can be for Baby!
