Josie and family paid us a visit a few weeks ago...our chance to get some more practice in:) It was so fun having Josie stay at our place...we got a little glimpse of what's to come. Josie tested out Baby Austin's room and confirmed we picked the perfect gliding chair...here we are cuddling in the chair reading a book before bedtime.
Michael could not resist practicing with the Baby Bjorn. Carri & Louie brought up theirs - we found out that the Baby Bjorn "Sport" is definitely the way to go!!!! Here is a picture of Michael getting his lesson:
And here he is in all his glory - he honestly enjoyed this a little too much - I think Baby Austin will come to know and love the Baby Bjorn and hours of time spent attached to daddy. Michael was imagining all the times he'd use his. My favorite was when he mentioned "This is going to be perfect for trips to the grocery store."
And here is Josie taking a nap in her favorite sleeping position - now how cute is she - just too precious for words:)
We had such a great weekend. The above are among many things we practiced. Another funny example was when Carri & Louie gave Josie a bath. Michael and I gathered around and observed like we had never bathed ourselves before...definitely a had to be there moment....it was great!!! When Josie was sleeping I took the opportunity to ask Carri a million questions. The day after they left I immediately updated my pregnancy journal, updated my "useful info" pregnancy spreadsheet, and registeries. THANK GOODNESS for having an older sister. I can not imagine going through this experience without my sister. And to top all of that off she greeted me with a goodie bag filled with toys, videos, books and more....The perfect weekend!

You are TOO sweet Manda. It's so funny that I have said the same thing "I couldn't imagine going through all of this without my sister." BIG HUGS! And - by the way - practice or no practice - you and Michael are total naturals. You will be (well, already are) great parents! Baby Austin is one lucky little person. (Have I mentioned I can't wait to meet her/him?????)
I was checking your myspace to see how the pregnancy is going and then found your site. Very cute! I wish you the best of luck with you and your new family. If you need anything, remember, I am a mommy too. It's hard work, but all worth it. Take care! Rena
