Black Friday

So we didn't get up at 4 am to fight crowds or score major deals, but we have a little Black Friday adventure. We looked into registering for Bun. It was a reasonably sized store so my heart didn't start racing as we walked in. Cindy was calming and offered sound advice. Jason was great. He had researched specific products, investigated what babies need, and had an idea of what we wanted. All I wanted to look at was bedding...

Isn't this sweet? The only problem is that we weren't planning on getting a crib. Now I want one so I can look at those sheets!
And shoes....

Darling! But I promised Jason we'd never spend $60 on baby crocodile-embossed moccasins. I'm hoping Target has some knock offs.

On The Run

We moved to our current apartment in May. One major draw was the 4 big windows facing Marcus Garvey park. We look out over a baseball field and heard little-leaguers all summer, and see enough tress to allow us to imagine that we live in suburbs. And as it turns out, in Novemeber, we get to watch the NYC marathoners trot by.
The leading women and men. Can you imagine looking this relaxed at the 22nd mile? And they were still booking it!

The Plan

there is an envelope by our bed with Bun's gender sealed inside. the plan was to open it with our families on thanksgiving. we may opt for plan b. we're blaming the urge to peak on our family's interest...but really, it is getting too tempting. at this rate, i don't think we'll make it through the week.

Live From Our Oven...

#4B smells like Christmas and the whole apartment is being warmed by a tempting, glazed ham. Look good, right? Thanks to Jason, I'll be having dinner part deux at 10:30.

And speaking of ovens...

There's a bun in mine. 18 weeks. So far, so good. We'll blog details soon.
