March Madness

Rachael and Patrick made a snowman today. Rachael had fun tasting the snow. About 3 hours after this all the snow was gone. That is, of course, it was gone until it started snowing again.

First Hair Cut

Ok, so I chickened out. I had Aunt Laura perform the first hair cut. How could I cut off her curls? I survived, and Rachael did really well. I'll do it next time.

Anna's First Bath

Anna liked her first bath. She's actually yawning in the one picture, not crying.

Bringing Baby Home

It all looks so sweet, doesn't it. This was the day we brought Anna home. Rachael came down with a horrible cold that night, necessitating a midnight run to Redicare. Try keeping a sicky toddler off your new baby. Right.

Say Hello to Anna Marit Gunerud!

Here she is the latest addition to the Gunerud Family.

Both baby and mother are doing well.

Hurdle #1

Although her big girl room is not finished, the biggest hurdle is past. I'm excited at how this turned out. Hopefully I'll be able to get a little more done before the baby comes.

FYI: The birds are a mountain blue bird, a gold finch, and a scarlet tanager. Two of the three can be seen in Idaho. I'll give a gold star to anyone who knows which ones.

2.5

I've been having dreams lately where I've been extremely frustrated. I hate it when I have emotional dreams because when I wake up I'm still in that state and it's hard not to act accordingly. I figured out this morning that my recent spate of dreams has had a theme: waiting. In the dreams it's usually Patrick I'm waiting for, but I'm pretty sure my subconscious is really tired of waiting for the baby.

We have 2 1/2 weeks to our due date, March 15. So in the spirit of doing something productive ;) I will now open it up for your bets. What day and time do you think the baby will actually come?

FYI: Rachael was 2 days late...but I might have to hurt anyone who thinks this baby will be any later than that.

Sneak Peak

Just so you don't think I've been a slacker, I have been working on Rachael's big girl room. I'm just going super slow since we've been so busy and I'm so tired all the time. Here's a sneak peak for you though.
