We're getting ready around here! Yes, my baby will be a binky baby...or paci, if you're from the south, which I am not...so it's a bink. Which is seeming like a really strange word the more I think about it and type it...
Anywho, I packed Baby Girl's bag yesterday and I'm working on mine. This part of the pregnancy is tough because we're ready for her to arrive but we don't know when it will happen...I'm 38 weeks today so hopefully she'll be here in 2 weeks or LESS!
Someone asked Daniel today if I've started cleaning everything yet. Later he came home to find me cleaning out the kitchen drawers...like washing the drawers. He laughed and said I must be ready since I'm trying to find things to clean!
I would say we're ready! We have everything we need and my mile long to-do list for things to do around the house at the beginning of the summer is complete...although somehow I keep coming up with things to do...like washing drawers.
And Bauer is not allowed in the living room during the day anymore. I just really can't handle the thought of my baby mixing in with dog hair/dander/slobber/general yuckiness...so he's banned to the kitchen during the day and we let him free once Daniel gets home from work. In all seriousness, he basically sleeps all day so why not just sleep in the kitchen rather than the living room...definitely works for me! I would rather his area not be my kitchen, but don't even get me started on that subject...Anyway, we've started this with him now so that when Baby Girl arrives it's not as big of a shock...he'll already be used to it.
Bauer really is a great dog...I really do love the guy, but in general I am really not much of an animal person...well, not even a tiny bit. I'm sure you've probably already gathered that. I do NOT think it's cute when a dog licks a baby...quite the opposite...I feel the urge to hurl when I see it. However, I know many of you out there adore your pets and are probably shooting daggers at me through your computer screen...please don't! This is just me personally...you can let your babies get licked all you want!
Weird thing is, is that I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how Bauer acts around Baby Girl. He is SO GOOD with kids. He adores them. My niece has been here a couple of times in the last few weeks and he listens to her like he's the most obedient dog ever. She can practically whisper a command and he promptly does it no questions asked. She wore him out the other day...she kept making him sit and come over and over and over and over and....Anyway, after a LONG time of this, Bauer flopped his full body to the ground when she told him to sit, laying there like he was practically dead. Then when she told him to come, he made it look like it took every effort in his poor body to get up. He's got personality! Or maybe he's just out of shape...
Here's one of the famous looks he typically gives when a camera is aimed towards him.
Such a cute pup...he was THRILLED to have my mom's huge yard to run around in.
Can't see it too well, but here's a treat he left for his Uncle Tommie...you can guess what it is.
The poor guy really doesn't play catch too well...throw it about 3 times and he's done.
Getting a kiss from Aunt Hannah. I could never...
Look at how he's grown! Such a cutie. In the pic above he was in his little puppy seatbelt...so adorable!
