A Story of Three Tanners

wow...today was completely insane.

work, of course, then baby apt @ 3:45 - went GREAT! Noah is JUST the right size and the doc even said that Andrea could stand to gain some weight, not like "go put on a few pounds," but it would be okay if she did.

We learned all sorts of neat stuff today too!

you can get an epidural up to 9cm dilated! =)
the doc can monitor Noah's heart rate via internet/pager/phone! whoa!
we can call the doc anytime during labor that he/she isn't there & we feel uncomfortable
we have GREAT pediatricians to choose from, but she recommended picking the one who had the best office staff, since that's who we'll deal with mostly
They would, as a rule, allow Andrea to go to 41 weeks w/ even talking of inducing or water breaking or anything (as long as everyone's healthy)
42 weeks is up to Andrea & how she feels
they don't break water as a rule, unless pregnancy is NOT progressing
our delivery Doc will do the circumcision for us

anywayz, after learning all that, it was also great to learn today that you don't have to have anything but your vehicle registration to go to the VET. I never knew this! I had the little paper anyway, but thought that was interesting... But, "the ball and chain is coming off" according to a quick googol news links.
Andrea got the accessories all ready to go on the pack and play today. Setting up the biggest part, the pin, you see here, was the quickest and easiest...Andrea set up all the little whistles and bells it has...wow! LOTS!

Musical mattresses

So, from the guest room, this frame and headboard goes down here...

in the Grandparents' Suite. Then, the box & mattress off our bed comes down here to go on it.

Here's the NEW one! Samsclub has a labor day sale on mattresses... pretty good prices comparatively speaking. Layin' on it now, feels quite nice...we'll see in the morning ;)

Finally, after picking up mattresses, the new 6" thick pre-hung door for the closet of the Grandparents' Suite, and some more material for the basement, I got home, moved tons of mattresses around (Thanks ZMan and Mikey) and I even got to mow the entire yard! FUN!
Then I got the compression fittings on the pipes...WITHOUT burning up elements in our water heater ;) yay! I even got the toilet thingy cut off and sorta leveled...tomorrow is:
