Burl is happy right where he is...

And it's Grampie Doug's birthday! A proven good day to be born... But it's just about 9:30 am and nothing new seems to be churning in the belly... I'm thinking there'll be hints long before Burl arrives.

So Valentine's Day also seems like a good day to be born. Easy to remember... might even garner a guy extra kisses...

(Ivo was born exactly 1 week early at 7:02am on Friday 24 Dec - and easy date to remember. I knew something was going on from 8am the 23rd. We didn't go to the clinic until 4am on the 24th. I hear/read that 2nd babies are often faster to make the scene... but I'm thinking we might have a 10-12 hour heads-up.)

Yesterday I didn't get dressed or leave the house. It was awesome. I packed my hospital bag and napped. Ivo went out with Grammie and Papa. The house gets better looking everyday. Gail made us a big pot of veggie chili - YUM!

In case Burl's waiting for his stuff to be in order - it's ready! He and I are going to be sharing a closet and drawers:)

Ryan got me an mp3/voice recorder which I got working yesterday too!

Ryan and are have almost finished watching LOST season 2 - it's addictive!

Ivo's started playing a new game called Papa booby. Last night he watched a little tv with Grammie in her room. He chose bits of his favorite DVDs; Garfield and the Iron Giant... I should have only given him one DVD but I moved a few into Grammie's room and Ivo couldn't choose - or rather, couldn't stick to a decision. He also couldn't pick a room to stay in - he was happily back and forth between our room and grammie's for about an hour, never having known a world with 2 tvs or cozy options!

The angry apple juice picture is from this morning. It is the face one makes right before announcing "NO PICTURE!"
