36 weeks

Here you can see Zoe at 36 weeks... only 4 weeks to go and you won't believe it but next week she's already 'full term'...
Regarding the DVD if you start having 4 things out of 6 then you're only 2-4 weeks away from giving birth... I think we're pretty close :)... I bet she's gonna be a January baby...

Zoe's equipment

Alright, I couldn't wait any longer and assembled her stroller and removed her car seat from the box. I strolled around a little bit in the house with it... cool cruise :). That will make my walks with her a lot easier. Yesterday we also bought a bundle me bag for her stroller and car seat so she'll be all wrapped up when we go out with her. It's kind of cold here and we don't want her to get sick.
How exciting... we're getting close!!! Yesterday we started watching the 'Laugh and Learn about Child Birth DVD'... because we didn't make it to a Child Birth Class we watch that DVD and man is that good... so much that we've learned already and we just started. We take a few chapters at a time.

... somebody likes to shred receipts :)

... another funny action in our household :)... I think Frank is going to hide the paper shredder very soon from me ;). Well, when I come home from the shopping trips I shred the receipts pretty soon if I think we won't need them anymore. Just need to have a clean purse/ wallet, right? The womens' purses are way too crowded anyways. So we need to clean them up right away. So again I shredded a receipt that we needed... and I figured I can reestablish the receipt by going through the shredded paper and find the right pieces and glue them together! I succeeded :). With the barcode and the name of the item, some more numbers on it we were able to return the bedskirt and I really had a blast glueing it all together and cracking up during the whole thing ;).Typical me!!! *lol*...

Zoe's first Slipper's

Since you don't know the background about the 'Slipper's' in our household you probably just think these are just such cute Slipper's ;)... but here now our background: When Frank and I started dating we sometimes met in between Chicago and Detroit as you know from some of our posts. And you won't believe it but every time he forgot his 'slippers' at home so we went to Walmart and bought some slippers for the weekend. I would've just lived without them for a weekend but Frank needed to buy some for the hotel room we were in ;). Now he has a couple of Slippers 'extra' in case he needs them ;)... so I figured that Zoe should have some Slippers as well and bought some today for her... aren't they cute?
Her room is slowly coming together... the crib is setup and tomorrow we're going to buy a changing table and a dresser and then I'll go ahead and wash all her clothes. We bought a very nice bedroom set :)... it looks so cute. And a stroller we bought as well... we're almost there...

The first try

I did it :)... alright, after 'reading the instructions' (I normally don't do that!!!) I figured out how it all works and what needs to be done ;)...Oh, we're so lazy out here... and then when we start moving around it's very hard to get used to it *lol*. Frank put up the crib today and next week we're going to start shopping around for more stuff for Zoe's room, we still need some things before she comes... so exciting :). Here my first Latte result: a little to weak but I know what I've done wrong so next time it'll be much better.

Merry Christmas

We'd like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas... look what expected me when I came home yesterday :). We decided not to do any X-Mas decoration because of all the other stuff we're still working on and thought to just do the whole decoration and a real X-Mas tree next year when we celebrate with our little daughter :). This year we just take it easy and very relaxed. But Frank surprised me and did put up a little tree and decoration... that was so cute :). So now the little tree is bringing some X-Mas spirit into our living room :)We went out to dinner to a very nice restaurant and had a VERY delicious dinner and unwrapped gifts afterwards :). Then we watched 'It's a wonderful life'... somehow I couldn't keep my eyes open after a while so we have to watch the rest of the movie again today ;).

We enjoy our X-Mas at home a lot... very cozy and relaxing... Merry X-Mas again to everybody and will keep you guys posted about our progress next week in the house... the baby room will be worked on, the guest rooms will be completed and we try out our great X-Mas gifts :)... guys... we need some visitors ;) !!! I will post some pics later from the gifts when Frank has setup the speakers and I've tested out the best creations of how to make the best latte macchiato's and cappuccino's :)... can't wait... :)

Here we are at 35 weeks already... just 5 more weeks to go and little Zoe will be with us.
