Lots of Laughter
Sarah has giggled a few times, but this was her first sustained bout of laughter. Too cute.

Here's another video. We thought these smiles were too cute not to share.

Baby Dresser
I've been working hard to get the baby dresser refinished. It's almost done - just need to sand the drawers, and stain/varnish the drawers and knobs.

36 Weeks - Doctor Appointment
We had another sonogram at our appointment today. Both images are the same, except that the second one has some scribbles that should help you identify the body parts. According to the sono, the baby is currently 7lbs 3oz, which means an approximate birth weight of 8lbs 11oz. Definitely a full size baby. Ann is dialated to 1cm, which is a good sign that her body is getting ready.

35 Weeks
Everything is moving right along - almost too fast. Just had both baby showers. I'm working on getting this dresser refinished. It was Ann's mom's dresser when she was a baby. It has several layers of paint which we're stripping off. It will probably end up with a coat of light stain and some polyurethane.

Nursery Chair Rail
We were so excited looking at the paint in the nursery, we decided that we just couldn't wait to put up the chair rail. So, we made a "quick trip" to Menards. A few dollars and hours later... [Though these pictures don't show it, Ann helped with the chair rail as well - running for forgotten tools, holding trim, taking pictures, keeping Gabe on track, moral support, etc.]

Nursery Paint
Joel and Rachel arrived yesterday and helped us paint the nursery (thanks guys!). What a difference some extra hands can make. The yellow and green look amazing and really help to brighten up the room. Now for the chair rail.

Gifts
We've already received some gifts! Among other presents, the Doran's made us these cool booties. As a going-away gift, Ann's CG co-workers gave us a large gift bag with all sorts of goodies - shampoo, powder, diapers, books, etc. Thanks!

Sonogram Pics
We got sonogram pictures taken today. The still images don't do justice to what it's like to see the sonogram in motion. You'll have to use your imagination here. In the first image, the baby is laying down with his (or her) feet on the left and head on the right; arms are up around the face; between the feet and head you can see the umbilical cord. The second image is basically a shot of the feet. In the third image, the baby is once again laying down with the feet on the left and head on the right; in this one you can kinda see some details of the face - eyes, mouth.

20 Weeks
Ann's been feeling the baby move quite a bit. I just felt him move for the first time! (and by "him" we don't mean to say that the baby is a boy, I'd just rather not call the baby "it")
