Eric and Lisa

Well, there are only about 4 weeks left until our Baby Boy Oglesbee is supposed to arrive upon the scene. I'm feeling particularly pregnant by about now and am looking forward to meeting the Little Guy. The past four or five months have been much more enjoyable than the first trimester-and-a-half. Being pregnant has its perks! It's kind of nice to have cars stop in their tracks for you when you're crossing a street, or have bag boys at the grocery insist upon carrying your groceries to your car for you, even if you've only got one bag and are perfectly capable of doing it yourself!

Eric and I are really getting excited about the prospect of parenthood, and are constantly thinking of new ways to try to help us prepare. We know there will be mistakes and clueless moments, but it's fun to research and talk about how we might want to do things once he's here.

On a more practical level of preparation, our house is pretty much baby-ready. The nursery is finished and stocked with all the necessary baby supplies, and our bathroom project in the basement is coming to a close. If you want to see pictures of the amazing work Eric has done, see the photo album labeled "Basement Bathroom" in our photo section of this website. We still have to take some pictures with the toilet, sink, etc. installed, but you can get a general idea of what a big project this has been for the past three months. It's been challenging and time-consuming, but we're so glad we were able to do most of it ourselves. We really hope the addition of this bathroom off of our TV/rec room in the basement will significantly increase the value of our home when we do have to sell it someday.
