Planning for the big day

We'll be moving the Cutlet into his new room this weekend. Just got to go get the moulding to finish off the floor. Above is the road motif that drives around all four walls. What car-loving boy could resist it? Glad I'm almost done with it.

The Petite Filet went to the doctor yesterday, and the baby's doing well in there. Not that we had any doubts; sometimes when he kicks I can feel it across the room. Maybe it's just the pointed stare I get from my lovely, glowing wife that says nonverbally, "You did this to me, and you are going to pay."

During our first sonogram, the technician was pretty positive it was a boy. With yesterday's look-see, any lingering doubt was erased. Looming large in the image is the little guy's franks and beans. That's my boy!

We also found out he'll be arriving Dec. 11, a week earlier than anticipated. At least that puts a few more days' distance between his birthday, Christmas and then the Cutlet's on Dec. 26. I thought we had it bad, but I met a dude yesterday whose birthday is also on Dec. 26, and his two kids were born in December. They have three reasons to celebrate half-birthdays, but he said they never get around to it. For the Cutlet, his half-birthday would be June 26, which is my sister's birthday. And June 25 is my parents' wedding anniversary.

If we weren't such bad (alternately, "oblivious") planners we could have given our first son his own special day. But, looking at him, he arrived right on time, and we couldn't imagine life without him.

December 11th sounds like a really good day to join the world. Other little kids will be really excited about school holiday & plays. What better reason for a party at T-Bones. Alllll that energy to burn... :-)

Life is all about properly positioning birthdays..........or not.

Wow two birthdays in December... you'll be living at Chuck E. Cheese during the month.

December birthdays are fun! I seem to have a lot of people in my life who have them..so I always end up broke during the Christmas season.

I'm glad to hear that everything's going well. I hope you plan to post some pictures of the Cutlet's new room.

We have 3 December birthdays in our immediate family, one being on Christmas Day. As far as gifts and parties go, it takes a bit of extra planning.

Have a wonderful weekend.
