I like this picture



I just wanted to share this family photo from Saturday that my dad sent me. It's a little shady, but you get the idea.

Nothing much new to report. Yesterday was a usually yucky Monday, where the phone rings off the hook from all the frantic questions that the foreign nationals have been holding all weekend.


Hosey is getting more and more aggressive with movements, and I honestly think sometimes I'm going to be sitting at my desk and a foot will just come straight through my belly button. I'm not sure where Hosey is, but I'm inclined to think that he/she is head down, only because of how much pushing is happening at the top of my belly. It feels like kicks. Although I'm not totally sure...
Justin and I have started composing our hospital call list. We're going to have to designate another family member to make the actual phone calls, since Justin will probably be a little busy, but this is the first time we've thought about who might actually want to be at the hospital. At this point, I think we'll just have someone making phone calls, and people can decide on their own whether or not they want to come. Our feelings won't be hurt either way. We're also trying to decide when we want to go ahead and put the car seat in. We're thinking at the end of November. I'd like to be a nervous nancy and put it in, and then go to a fire station and ask them to do a safety check to make sure it is installed correctly. Those things can be like rocket science...
The other detail I'm puzzling over is the bassinet. I still think I'll borrow my mom's (or Leah's, I guess I should say), but my doctor recommended having one upstairs and one downstairs... I'm not sure, but I've looked at some portable cribs from Graco, which are sort of like mini play-yards, and a lot of them have bassinet attachments. They have mostly glowing reviews on the Babies R Us and Target websites, and they seem like they would be useful, since you can use them for the baby to sleep in for travel for about 6 months or so, and they fold up to the size of a folding chair. And they are much more reasonably priced than a lot of things out there. We'll see!
