My Bag Is Packed!

Ha!  Yes, I have my bag ready to go!  Cell phone, check.  Regular camera, check.  Gum, check.  Laptop, check. Extra clothes, check.  Deodorant, check.  WARM SWEAT SHIRT, CHECK!  When Jenna and I did her childbirth classes at Clovis Community........IT WAS FREEZING!!  I know it's 102 outside, but I would hate to pay the PG&E bill at the hospital!! 

                             

I can honestly say preparing for grandchildren has been a lot of fun!  When we were getting our nursery ready for our own kids, we were SO thankful to Mike and Frances who GAVE us all of their "baby" stuff!  Most of you "old-timers" know what I am talking about........you used a lot of hand-me-down stuff because money was TIGHT!  At the time, M & F  were living in San Jose and we drove up there (in Mitch's red truck) and picked up all the stuff (including Michelle's old baby clothes) for our room.  We used primary colors because my Dr. (Robert Meltvedt) didn't do ultra sounds unless there was a problem, SO we didn't know what we were having.  Jenna was a complete surprise!

 

As grandparents (to be) however, I have had the JOY of redoing our middle bedroom, making it into a nursery!!!  We painted the walls and even got new carpet!!  What's really great is that the crib and changing table we have now belonged to my Mother-in-law.  It has been the furniture for ALL of her grandchildren and great grandchildren! I had SO much fun picking out the bedding that I wanted!!  WOHOOOOO!  

 

All we need now is a baby! :)  Well, off to get a new BABY flag for the front of the house to announce the arrival of our little angel, Kase!  Let's go, stinker!!
