Some pictures from the past few weeks (click the small photos to view a larger image):
Measuring Susan's belly makes Greta very excited...40 gorgeous inches :)
Putting the crib together
Look at the enthusiasm, the concentration. Folks, let me tell you, I was in the zone in this photo. I bet you can just feel the energy.
Grandpa-to-be working on our state of the art swing
I'm having one of these swings custom-made in full size for Susan for the last month of the pregnancy:
Rock-a-bye preggie on the tree top,
When the wind blows,
You'll complain that you're hot.
When your water breaks,
Clench your u-ter-ine walls.
And out will come baby,
I'll start making the calls.

Tables and cribs and bears, oh my
Susan's parents made their way to Chicago in their (full) pickup truck of gifts from the shower and loaners from family and friends. Fatherhood is turning out to be a good workout. I've been hauling more stuff in the last month than I had in the previous four years. Can't wait for the next move.
Jokes aside, we can't express enough gratitude for all the help we've received in getting ready for this.
We'll put the crib together tonight hopefully, most of the furniture is sanded and painted. I'll try to get some before and after pics of the kid's room for the site. I've got some good belly shots of Susan, she's expanding...more beautiful with every inch :)
