There are another gazillion inches of snow today. And it's the heavy, sticky kind. I keep hearing the snow clogging up the snowblower outside. Poor Jen, it is taking a lot longer today. (Although it is still better than shoveling!) There seems to be a ton. Sucks. I may never see my mailbox again. It is after 11am and Jen is still not at work. The plows didn't even do our street until 9 or so, so what are you gonna do? I hope her boss doesn't expect her to make up the time, but he probably does. *sigh*

My friends Eryn and Amy had a baby boy the other day - so exciting! He was a little guy (6lbs 8oz, I think) and the first thing I thought of was, "Oh, I bet they don't have a lot of newborn-size clothes." Everyone always tells you not to bother but let me tell you, when you have a small baby, you wish you bothered! I went through Punk's old stuff today and found the NB stuff that wasn't pink or a sundress (silly July girl babies) and packed it up for them. It's nice to think someone else will get some use out of them... but when I picked up the stuff I couldn't believe how small it was. And to think that Punk wore NB stuff for a long time because she was such a peanut! Yesterday in BRU we saw some NB-sized diapers (Pampers Swaddlers like in the hospital) and holy crap, they are small. Likewise, Punk wore those for a long while. And they are TINY. Guh. Where does the time go?

somerandomchic and boisestudley had a baby girl the other day, too - Elsie Jane. I am anxiously awaiting pictures. I need newborn pictures, dammit! :)

Back to the snow - I can't believe how much frickin' snow we have already gotten this winter. Last year it didn't snow at all until February. I guess this is payback. Blarg. I was supposed to have an ENT appointment at 10am today but I rescheduled it. I am not going A-N-Y-W-H-E-R-E today until the coast is clear from all of the icky white stuff.

I am such a snow hater. Why are all of the safe places to live either a) cold and snowy or b) ridiculously expensive or c) both? So unfair. SO unfair.

Today Jen did a little paint touch-up in the kid room and then we got to work on assembling the kid furniture. Eryn and Amy came to help AND brought us a squash pie! (They remembered that I loved their last one from our Superbowl Party so much that I devoured it and randomly made me another! How cool is that??!?!) Oh my goodness, I have already had two pieces of pie today. SOMEBODY STOP ME!

Now how often does someone help you do some sort of project AND bakes you a pie from scratch? I mean, really. When does this happen? YOU HAVE TO LOVE THESE PEOPLE, people!

Pictures of the hard-working duo if I ever charge my camera up!

Mmmmmmm, squash pie! And now the kid room has a crib, dresser/changing table, and toy box. Whee! (It's awfully weird to see that stuff in there.)

Most mornings, I typically would not be rip roarin' and ready to go by now. Right about now I would usually be finished with a big bowl of cereal and either puttering around the house or half-watching A Baby Story on TLC. But not today!

I have been showered for nearly an hour, my lunch is packed for work and ready to go by the door, I met with the painting guy to get an estimate on painting the baby's room, and I'm about to head to a breakfast date with Eryn before she goes off on vacation. Phew, busy busy!

This has been a really busy couple of weeks between the Florida trip (Take 1 and Take 2), the quick Boston trip, and now really getting Frank's room in high gear. Soon (weather permitting) we can start having a little fun in the yard before I get TOO big.

Mmm, breakfast beckons. Ciao!
