We have been so busy trying to get ready...and we wouldn't be nearly as close to being prepared if it wasn't for our families.Tony's dad, mom, my dad and himself have been working on the crib over the past few weekends. Tony's friend Aaron helped with some of the spindles and sanding them down. With their help, at the end of last week Tony had the entire crib put together. All he has to do now is to cut off about a foot off of each post and do some 'artsy' stuff to make it look like he wants. My mom has been great, as she has been feeding everyone who has been out to work on the crib.
Yes, you can see that Sanders has been around for the building of the crib too!Tony is planning on finishing up the crib on Saturday along with his brother Rob. They will get the 'artsy' piece done and are also hoping to get the finish on the crib, so that we can move it into the nursery the weekend of the 20th!
I've been busy getting things ready for the nursery. Let me say one thing: "I HATE LAUNDRY!" I must have done 20 loads last weekend of just baby stuff. And I haven't even begun to put it away. That is this weekend's task.
And on top of all this baby preparedness work we've been doing, we had a HUGE hail storm on June 2nd. I'm talking BASEBALL sized hail. It was insane. Needless to say, our house is beat up. I'm trying to get everything fixed in the next couple of weeks...garage doors this weekend, siding and trim next weekend. Oh, and hopefully Tony can get the screens taken care of.
That's all from us for now! I have my ultrasound tomorrow to find out how big Felix is....I'll try to get some pictures up here after that!

Love the side photo - you finally look pregnant! Tony has done an awesome job on the crib. Good job, Dad! The only thing that Mark could build for the baby would be a tractor, and that's just not as practical as a crib. *G* Have fun folding those little clothes, over and over again. It never ends!
Jen, this is such an exciting time for you! Don't worry, the laundry only seems to multiply after the baby is actually here, it's truly amazing. Hoping you have an easy labor and delivery and can't wait to hear the news!
