baby shower

By mike

yikes, it’s nearly been a month since the last post, i guess things have been pretty busy over here.  well, preparations for the baby are coming along, i think we are at a stage now where we are just waiting for a few things.

we have ordered the gliding chair which they say can take 8-10 weeks for delivery!  that means that the chair will arrive right around when the baby is due.  paul told me that his chair came the day before leeya gave birth so the timing really worked out.  it might come down to the wire for us, too.

the baby shower is quickly approaching, too.  we decided against a co-ed baby shower for a couple of reasons:

1) i think it’s weird that couples have co-ed baby showers.  baby showers have traditionally been a female thing and as christi has discovered after being married to me, i’m surprisingly traditional.

2) if we did a co-ed baby shower, it would be huge.  our friends plus significant others would have made it impossible to do that baby shower at my parent’s place.  it would have been a zoo.

so, christi is having an all-girl baby shower.  it sounds like christi still wants me to go to it though, she is disguising it as an opportunity for me to take pictures of the event, but, really, i think it’s because she wants me to be there.
