Pretty petite Patagonia

Well, I think Jeremy's highlight of the week might have been the Patagonia Outlet 40% off sale! We mainly went to see what kind of gender-neutral clothes we might find for our little one on the way. Jeremy just HAD to have the miniture "base layer" for the kid. We also found a cute little fleece zip hoody, fleece mittens, & a nice indoor/outdoor fuzzy blanket.

"Roo" made out with these fun items...meanwhile Jeremy also managed to score himself the new, coveted, Nano puff pullover, snagged straight from the hands of someone in line discarding it. He's a lucky little rascal...his size & everything. Yep, that'll put a big smile on his face. I even permitted him to buy the new jacket (given the 100+ he already has)!!!

1, 2, 3...Baby Shower

I took a trip back to MN to see friends & family before our little one arrives. Amazingly enough, it was above zero the whole time & they had TONS of snow. I did a lot of cross country skiing with Mom & Dad and enjoyed seeing everyone! "Roo" is one spoiled peanut already, especially after THREE baby showers! We are thankful for everyone's love & support during this exciting time! Oh, & I got to meet Riva too...Katie & Smokey's new Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy...SUPER CUTE!!! Here she is:

When I came home from MN I had a lovely surprise waiting for me at home...Jeremy & his parents had actually completed our office-to-be-nursery! The walls were freshly painted, the furniture had arrived & was assembled, the desk moved downstairs! The closet was COMPLETELY emptied as well! They had been hard at work, my goodness! A big job & I was amazed! A HUGE THANK YOU for a job well done, we are really happy with how it turned out! Here's a pic of the crib set up for now...

Only 6 more weeks until we have a little bundle of joy to put in it! Wowzers!
