In Peanut's closet

I tried to tell Allison that these are too small for me. I was looking forward to wearing the footie pajamas with footballs this fall.

34 weeks

This was taken last week at 34 weeks. I'm getting to that dreaded point where there are fewer and fewer items of clothing that fit. And the swelling has started, most noticeably here in my face. I'm entering what I like to refer to as my "moon face" period. I'm not complainin', just sayin'.

Baby showering

Generous folks from all over the southeast (or so it seemed) gathered on Saturday to help gear Peanut up to make his entrance into the world. Bruce and I are blown away by the generosity! I'm fairly certain the baby won't need anything else until he heads to college. At which point we'll be sure and invite everyone back for another party.

Like I said, all set 'till college.

The finest in baby formalwear.

The riveted crowd.

Carol's baby, Nate, stole the show.


Me, and the shower hosts.


The cake, from Dewey's. It's all about the cake.
