On our to-do list this upcoming week is finalizing the baby room colors, which seems to be more of a challenge than I initially thought. I was all set on a chair rail with two tones of sage walls and we even got 6 different paint samples from the painter. This was supposed to help us decide which color combo we wanted. But now that our Picasso-like talent has been slathered on the wall, I am so undecided I think I just doubled my gray hair count. BTW, after 5 months of no root touch ups I am a natural salt & pepper kind of gal. But back to the room…..no clue. The end!
The hubby and I also need to sign up for our baby classes. We are considering either Overlake Hospital in Bellevue (close to work and well known in an upscale neighborhood but over 30 miles away from home) or Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Tacoma (close to home, Jesuit hospital with a beautiful view of Mt. Rainier). The problem right now with Saint Joseph’s is trying to make it 50 miles south during the work day for a baby doctor appointment. That is why we have been doing all of our checkups at the Bellevue location. Close, convenient and a beautiful facility. In the next two weeks we will be taking a tour of Saint Joseph’s to see if we like it. Then, here we come baby classes! Something along the lines of “how to take care of this completely dependent-immobile-probably chubby looking thing” followed by “dad, what the heck are you going to do” and topped off with “those voluptuous twins on your chest will now have the life sucked out of them while giving life to your little one” type of classes. Yay can’t wait!
For those family and friends in California, Michael and I will be down for a visit and a co-ed baby shower for Sprout hosted by my Grandma Lisa, Grandma Nancy, Auntie Elizabeth and Auntie Stacey on 2/27. I just want to give them and my Luppino Grandparents (who are opening up their doors for a party location) a HUGE shout-out to tell them thank you for all of the work you are putting in to this for us and the baby. We are truly excited to come down and celebrate the blessing of Sprout! Love you all so much and we are grateful for everything that you are putting together. Cannot wait to see you guys and all of our friends and family. Xoxoxo!
