Countdown

Let the countdown begin! This edition of the belly shot (Mini-Misner is now at about 37 weeks) is being taken from Uncle Kit's and Aunt Heidy's deck, where we are staying temporarily. We're finishing some renovations at our house and sure are enjoying living in their fully-furnished, dust-free home! They better be careful, as we might not ever leave...when they come home from being away on their respective business trips, they may discover that Elizabeth is "nesting" in their home, while Jason has been busy putting together the stroller and installing the car seat. Their house is also in our old neighborhood, so we've been having fun saying hello to former neighbors and visiting favorite eateries, including the original Swensen's ice cream parlor, opened in 1948 (we've now been there more than once, that's for sure!).

The latest on Mini-Misner is that his tush is nestled right on Elizabeth's pelvis, instead of his head. He's in the frank breech position, which you can learn more about, here, if you're curious. The obstetrician is going to try to nudge him into proper position next week and we'll see what happens! Elizabeth was also a breech baby - apparently, what goes around comes around! :)

Otherwise, this is such a time of incredible anticipation! It's hard to imagine that we'll be seeing our baby so soon after all this time. We can't wait to meet him!

P.S. Earlier this month, we also visited Elizabeth's Great Aunt Bobbie, who lives in Santa Rosa, CA. She is excited to add to her growing brood of grandchildren and great-grandchildren/nieces/nephews!

A Picnic in the Park

On Saturday, September 27th, we were treated to a fabulous picnic in Golden Gate Park with friends and family, hosted by our dear friends Michele Byrnes and Jaime Shean. It was a perfect afternoon - the sun was shining on us and we were so happy to be able to have the chance to kick back and spend time with people we care about.

An event highlight was The Diaper Olympics, a relay race to see which team could diaper (and re-diaper) a flour "baby" with a cloth diaper! As you'll see from the slideshow, enthusiasm ran high and the competition was fierce!

Thank you to everyone near and far who has supported us the past few months - we can't wait to introduce you to Mini-Misner!
