Baby Blu's Room

The countdown has begun...3 1/2 weeks until Baby Blu's estimated arrival. There are still so many things for us to do, but we've got most of his room put together and ready for him. Shawn still has a few things to hang on the walls, slowly but surely we will get it all done. At this point there is a mattress in the crib and a changing pad on the dresser...this is progress.

His room has a bit of a baseball theme, not a surprise for those of you who know Shawn. Grandma and Grandpa Blubaum got Baby Blu a Seattle Mariners mobile that plays "Take me out to the ballgame." He's sure to be a Seattle sports super fan just like his daddy!

Some girlfriends hosted a baby shower for me and Baby Blu yesterday. It was so much fun and he was spoiled with more wonderful gifts. So many of them helped me finish parts of his room last night, so it was perfect! Our friends Courtney & Eric got him a diaper wipes warmer. A true necessity for the little boy that will pampered and spoiled. We want him to have happy buns!

Next Saturday we have an appointment with the fire department to get the car seat installed/checked. We are also down to weekly doctor appointments and will be at 37 weeks this week. That is the milestone that he can come at any time now. I'd prefer if he waits until the carseat is properly installed!

Shawn attended Daddy Boot Camp yesterday while I was at my baby shower. He came home with lots of helpful hints and safety tips. He said 100% of the men in the class raised their hands when asked how many were forced to attend the class by their wives. Helps me think I am boss, even though I know I am not.

Since it is NFL Sunday...Shawn is glued to the giant TV for the afternoon. We are crossing our fingers that San Diego can win...we both picked them in our football pool this week. Say a little prayer...Baby Blu could use the winnings! :)

That's what is new with the Blu's. We are patiently waiting for the arrival of our little man and will be sure to share pictures once he arrives!
