Hey Maddie!

On Friday Mom and I found out that you're going to be a girl and that you're doing great! Nice and healthy, and BIG. You're well over a pound so we think you might be arriving sooner rather than later. Mom and I announced your name to everyone yesterday and today and they're thrilled! We simply cannot wait to meet you. 

We started your baby registry and are in the process of locking down a location for Mom's shower. You are going to be one popular kid. 

We had dinner with our friends John and Rhiannon before they left for England (tonight) and had dinner with Aunt Erica and Uncle Christian for Aunt Erica's birthday. Mom gave her a friendship bracelet for Olivia and made you a matching one! We're hoping you two are inseparable. 

Unfortunately our Rangers were eliminated in the 7th game of the Eastern Conference Finals 2-0 at the Garden. There's always next year! Drogba played his last game for Chelsea and Mom, Dave and I are going to see Chelsea play the Red Bulls in July!

What's On Dad's Mind? Registering for your baby stuff is HARD. We picked a really neat stroller-travel system, car seat, and travel crib/bassinet today. You're going to have cooler/higher quality stuff than we do!

Pecan,

You're the size of SWEET POTATO now! Very cool as that is one of our favorite foods! This weekend is Mother's Day, and even though you're wiggling around inside of mom, we've made the executive decision to make NEXT Mother's Day the 1st one for Mom. Grandpa George and I went to the Mets game last night and they won. Bartolo Colon is so much fun to watch, haha.

Things are moving forward around the house (we're getting ready for carpeting in the attic, put up the franken-zebo, and did some gardening), our next appointments at the doctors are at the end of the month and WE CANNOT WAIT. Our last appointment we heard your heart beat at 149 loud and clear, but we're so anxious to find out what "flavor" you are.

What's on Dad's Mind? I'm starting to do my research on baby products (while also taking some time to pick out some dad-friendly outfits to take embarrassing pictures of you in). This is a crazy, crazy world and there are A LOT of choices out there. Mom and I want you to be safe and comfy so there's a ton of consideration. We're also talking about taking a little weekender to Williamsburg in July (possibly for the 4th).
