It's the Final Countdown!

This is it! We're into our last few hours pre E! We meet Elan this afternoon at 4pm.

The room at the hotel when we arrived yesterday afternoon was already set up with a crib! We unpacked, bought supplies (diapers, crackers & cheese, noodles, cookies and beer) and generally settled in for the next ten days.

We likely won't be back to the hotel until 6pm tonight and there is the matter of getting Elan settled. We will do our best to update with pics tomorrow but may have to wait until the following day. We're also encountering some difficulties accessing our blog site...

We missed you all!

Cats in the Craddle

After days of complete disinterest in the nursery Murchie decided to give the crib and the change pad a try. We have no idea how he got into the crib and thankfully he has not repeated this feat of high jumping since. The change pad on the other hand seems to have become a favorite snoozing spot.

Two Weeks until E Day!

It's almost unimaginable that in two weeks we will be holding Miss E in our arms! After nearly two years we can hardly wait!

Miss E is Eleven Months old Today!

In honour of this milestone Mommy has sterilized bottle nipples, soothers and teething rings and washed sippy cups, bottles, plastic bowls and forks and spoons!

Mommy and Baba can't believe that this time next month we will be celebrating our darling Miss E's first birthday as a family! Hooray!
