Fairfax baby shower

Last weekend, Howard and Veronique were nice enough to host a wonderful baby shower for the Wee Beanie. Here was the delicious cake:
Everyone had a good time, and the set up was really beautiful. In the background, you can see a cake made from diapers, stuffed animals and booties. Here's mom having a larf while Dad studiously reads a card:Presents included a hand-made "baby bag", among many other things. Thanks to everyone who came or sent a gift, and thanks in particular to Veronique and Howard for hosting the event.

This past Thursday we went in for the final ultrasound scan, and Wee Beanie refused to show her face. We did get to see that she's grown to a hefty 3 pounds 2 ounces. She's very healthy, and her occasional bout of hiccups are now visible to the outside world, if you watch for them.

Photo extravaganza!

It's been a few weeks since we've posted here, so to make up for lost time, here's what's new in Rockville. We're at 29 1/2 weeks now, and the Wee Beanie is not so Wee any more. Mom and Beanie both received good marks at the doctor's yesterday.

Papa Bean repainted the nursery. Here's what we were working with before (and don't miss the door hanger, thanks Veronique!)


And here we've got the freshly painted room, with crib!

We've got a nice Orca to keep Wee Beanie company, hanging next to the bookcase.


Here's what the whale looks like from the crib!


That's the latest from Rockville! Enjoy your weekends, everyone.
