Still Waiting...

It has been a while since I posted. Currently we are still waiting For the Mango. A lot has been going on. I will summarise and try to follow up on some of these in later posts… when I’m not so tired. So here is a point form summation of the past few Months

•  I have rearranged the house. Basement has become office space. 2 office have been turned into the Mango Grove (“Baby’s Room”) and real guest room. When you have a guest AND Baby room there is no denying it… Its time to grow up! Pics of the new rooms may follow.
  

•  CG’s belly has grown. Its AWESOME to have a nice baby belly in the house. I will miss it
  

•  The mango kicks. A lot. Not only do we see kicks, but we can also see the movement of limbs! It’s like Alien… but not as freaky and without Sigourney Weaver (CG is WAAAY hotter anyway!)
  

•  We have cut our CD collection down to the bare minimum. We had somewhere approaching 2000, I think. After sorting through and realizing that many of them were really unnecessary CG and I made a trip to the used record store. It was cathartic.
  

• The funny part was how many CD;s CG and I each assumed belonged to the other partner. I don’t know where many of those discs came from. The only thing I can think of is CD hanky Panky while CG and I were sleeping. I don’t know how to tell the boys from the girls, but I’ve got my eyes on the Miscreants now!
  

•  I have assembled the Mango’s furniture. I never want to assemble Ikea furniture again.
  

•  Ever notice the guy in the Ikea assembly instructions looks like the old National Film Board short films of the French line drawing man who would walk across the screen after the Polka Dot Door? That one is for the Canadians who may stumble across this. Peace. Represent.
  

•  We have started and completed our Lamaze course. Some of the films we watched made me feel like Alex in a Clockwork Orange undergoing the Ludovico Treatments. One video had at least 6 childbirths…. And I thought Grade 10 health was bad!
  

All in all the past while has treated me very well indeed. We are very close to the Mango’s arrival. We have been given due dates that range from May 25th to June 2nd. We have been quoting the 2nd, but either way we are in the home stretch. It has been a great ride so far!
