This is basically the coolest thing I've ever seen. Thanks to Katelynn for showing us this weekend :)
Chad's family came up this weekend and we watched this a couple times 'cause it rocks. It was really nice to spend the weekend with them, but I forgot to take pictures. I always forget to take pictures. Need to get better at that. I think our baby boy might help me fix that problem :) I'm pretty sure I won't be able to stop when he comes. Anyway, they came bearing gifts, namely a whole bunch of awesome baby stuff that Chad's mom made/found on really good deals and--miracle of miracles--a set of wheels upon which to get to the hospital when I go into labor.
We still don't have our own car, and getting to the hospital was obviously one of the biggest worries we had. Like lose-sleep-over-this worry. We'd been renting cars through Hertz on Demand, but renting a car for a couple-hour doctor's appointment is a little different from needing transportation for a couple days while we live at the hospital, and then frequently afterwards for check-ups and trips to the store since I'm not going to be up to walking to Smith's anymore (which, by the way, I think I'm pretty awesome for still doing at 8+ months preggo. Just sayin'.). But I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea to try that with a newborn anyway. So, we're borrowing Chad's dad's old work truck for a couple months. Woohoo! Chad's little sister Devery named him Carter, but I'm liking Maximus while he's with us.
See? Maximus. You're feeling it too. Any Chevy Silverado with 200,000+ miles on it that's still going strong merits the name I think. Heck, just any Chevy Silverado. I lurve them. My dad's have always been awesome trucks too.
Awesome baby stuff:
Sweet basket chock full of baby goodies. Isn't that awesome? We so appreciate everything both our families are doing for us. I can't even say how much. Thank you to everyone for all you've done!

Kinda blurry, but cool huh? Chad's mom made the blankets, burp cloths, and nursing cover.
Minky! Soooo soft... This is especially cool because I had really wanted to make one of these, but alas, I've not a sewing machine. One day...
Awesome burp cloths. A nod to Chad here: he picked out the fabrics for the burp cloths and the nursing cover for me when I wasn't there, and I love them all. He knows me so well.
I love seersucker!
