Leslie & Jeff
I know some of you have probably been anxiously awaiting news but I'm sorry to report that we have no news...none of the baby variety at least. Sorry if my absence from the blog yesterday gave anyone the wrong idea! We've had a pretty good weekend, baby or no :) Yesterday we ran a lot of errands and did some basement decorating. We got a new rug and some pillows for the sectional, as well as a new floor lamp and wall-hanging. The basement is really starting to look good! Pete LOVES the new rug...he's sleeping on it right now! After we made it home after running around all day, we both took naps on the couch...although my two naps were a little longer than Jeff's one. Hey, it's hard work being this pregnant!


Today we got up and went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch, which was great! It's always nice to go to the Cheesecake Factory and not have to wait hours for a seat :) I wish I had saved some room for a piece of cheesecake, but I'm afraid I was a little short sighted on that front. After lunch we got the last few things we needed for the baby...so we're all ready now...she can come any time...any time now...

I'm almost finished with my newest project--a crocheted baby blanket for Izzy. I only have a few more rows to add and then have to do the border. I will post a picture of it as soon as I have it finished. I still haven't decided whether I'm going to work tomorrow. Friday was supposed to be my last day, but I'm having a hard time thinking about staying home when I have work to do and I can do it. Jeff wants me to stay home so I avoid all the questions about not having the baby yet. I guess I'll see how I feel in the morning.

Btw, can someone please tell me when the NCAA tournament is going to be over? Jeff can watch any game any time...I'm not a huge basketball fan to begin with, but my interest is even more severely lacking when two teams that I care absolutely nothing about are playing...e.g. Davidson and Kansas. Maybe this baby will come soon enough to save me from more hours of the tourney.

That's all I've got for the day...I'll add a couple pictures just for fun...

Oh, I wanted to thank all of you who have called or e-mailed to see how I'm doing. I really appreciate the thoughts and encouragement!!

    Les - Hang in there! Glad to hear that you sound like your keeping your spirits up! The basement looks really good, a nice cozy place to curl up with Izzy soon! I keep getting excited every time my phone rings - not just yet, huh? Stay home tomorrow and RELAX - trust me you need to build up your sleep reserve now while you can:) It's exciting but exhausting too, and worth every minute:) We love you guys! - Bec


  2. Leslie, we agree with Becky. She is right on the mark.

    Steve called me twice yesterday from our chapter's Fun Day which required his being at Sloan's at 6:00 A.M. Each time I was sure that it was Jeff because it was so early.

    Hey, I realized today that Izzy won't be officially late until April 2.

    You have done so much to the house since we were there for the shower.
    Looking forward to seeing it when we are up for Izzy's birth.

    Tell your Mom and Dad that we found a pink outfit that says "I love grandma" and a bib which says "Grandpa's the coolest". The Avenue has four children's stores in a row.

    See you soon!!
