Growing belly

We didn't get all that many pictures of my growing belly. Here are a few from mid-April.





















The belly is much more prominent now. Aaron took a few pictures about a week ago, but we haven't downloaded them yet. Let me just say that today while at Trader Joe's a woman walking by asked, "When are you due?!" I just can't tell complete strangers how many days PAST due I am. Instead, my answer is simply, "Any day now."

Michelle was with me and after we were out of ear shot of the lady I just had to ask, "Do I really look that big?" Michelle's answer was a definitive, "YES!" Oh, well. I guess I'm supposed to considering there's a fully baked baby in this belly of mine.

A Green Theme

Green has always been a favorite color of mine. See the blog colors for proof!

The color is in my name and my birthstone (emerald). It's also that deep rich color found in the northwest outdoors. All in all, I find it a very soothing color. Now green is being applied to the little guy's room. It's been fun to see things come together so well. Here's a picture of the green application in the baby's room. We love the curtains! The little table and chairs were a gift from a friend of Julie's, in Tillamook.

Slow Adopter

I can be a a slow adopter. Sometimes I just wait for others to prove to me that the time and effort to transition to a new medium is worth it. When it comes to blogging, that day has finally come and I have succumbed to blog pressure. The pressure was not directly applied. Family and friends have so successfully used their blogs to communicate with other family and friends that I've decided that it's worth trying with the upcoming arrival of Baby Wieting and my insane need to be creative through crochet.

Due three days ago (6.7.08), Baby Wieting is a primary reason for this blog. (The other key reason being crochet.) Below is one of Baby Wieting's earliest pictures taken at about 20 weeks in utero. Yes, he's waving a greeting to all of his fans. The next few posts will be some catch up on all things baby and other related interests.
