These Boots Were Made for Walkin'

Unfortunately, I don't have any boots, but that's what I need to walk down our street and all of the streets in our neighborhood since the rain that we had last night.

Baby Furniture

This was our baby's room before David put the furniture together. Our crib, changing table, and dresser arrived about two weeks ago and David jumped right on putting it together . The dresser was first so that we could start putting the clothes in it that had been donated to us. He said that the dresser was the most tedious of the three pieces. Next the crib and then the changing table.

Now all three pieces are in. We need to find a night stand now for a night light. Unfortunately, the outlets in the room are not well placed. None of them are close to the door. That bugs me. I'll probably put in a plug-in light that will help me find my way to the night light for those late night feedings.

I registered at WalMart. What a task! I did it online so I had to go through each department and find what we need. For the most part it was worth it because I was able to read reviews on many products and make decisions about which one would be best for us.

Gonna Make those Pink Clothes Blue

Okay, I know that's not exactly how the song goes, but I needed it this way to fit our situation. You still get it, right? Well, that's what we had to do. On November 11 I was told by the nurse at Kaiser that she thought we were having a girl. In her defense, she did say that the machine was not the best quality. But, David wanted a girl and so I took that information and ran with it. Not a good idea. At my appointment on December 2 at the actual hospital with a better quality machine, I was told that we were having a boy. She showed me on the screen why she thought this and she gave me a picture. This is not the same "she" as the previous appointment. Though I did see her just a few hours later I didn't tell her that she was mistaken. So we had to do as the title indicates and now we have to think of a boy's name. We had settled on Maya Lorene for a girl.
Please pray for us as we are still needing to decide on which country our baby will be born in. We would like him to be born in the U.S., but we need to get a visa for David. Not such an easy task.

David, David, David

Yes, this is all about David.
So last Sunday the owners of the house that we have been renting finally came to clean their things out of the house. The wife had left the house at one point and that was when David and the husband where putting some things out front and David was so proudly showing him the flowers that he had planted and had been caring for for several months now. They still did not have any blooms on them, but they had many buds. Now, David had put much work into these flowers and as I mentioned before, he was very proud of them and anxiously awaiting they day that they would bloom. Actually, one had a teeny, tiny yellow flower on it. Well, he and I left to go to church and the couple stayed there to finish. At some point the husband left and it was then that the wife got inspired to pull up all of the weeds, because obviously we were not taking very good care of the front yard. Just as she was finishing up the husband came back and saw her handy work. He informed her that those were flowers that we had planted, not weeds. So now David is pretty bummed, to say the least, and has no desire to even water the tree that's out front.

Next story. Tuesday I had an appointment at Kaiser in San Diego and I figured that I would be able to find out the sex of our baby. David wanted me to call him as soon as I found out, but I wanted to wait until I got back home. David has wanted a girl from the beginning and already had a name picked out. He contacted me several times during my time at the doctor to find out if I was able to find out or not. So yes, I did find out that we are having a girl, they're pretty sure, but I didn't tell him. I went to the store and bought a pink gift bag and a few pink things. When I got back to Ensenada I put the bag on his desk and waited for him to return.

Next story. David has been taking drums lessons for a few months now and so we have a drumset in the house. YEAH!!! This is not really a story just information.
