Joey Headquarters

Joey's nursery is ready to go and now we're just waiting for the big guy to get here! The stripes on the wall turned out much better than expected. The task was much more difficult than it appears on those TV home decorating shows and when Joey grows tired of the stripes, he'll need to move to another room because I refuse to ever paint over them.

We also got all of Joey's bedding in the crib and wish that we could climb in ourselves - it looks really cozy!

And by the way, 2007 is the Year of the Pig on the Chinese Zodiac so we must have the obligatory piggy bank in Joey's room. It's never too early to start a college fund these days!

3D Joey

If you're like us and can't wait to get a glimpse of what Joey's going to look like, here are a couple of 3D ultrasound pictures that we had taken back in late January (around 30 weeks).

We had a little difficulty at first getting Joey to cooperate with us. He started off the morning with both arms and legs covering his face so all we could get a glimpse of was his little nose. On the ultrasound technician's recommendation, we took a break and went to Round Rock Donuts for some breakfast (we do what we can for our little boy) and apparently Joey really liked the glazed donuts. On our next try, we were able to see his face and he even opened one of his eyes for us!

Coming Soon

We're just getting things set up for our new arrival. The due date is April 7, 2007. We can't wait to meet you, Joey!
