Twas the Night Before Due Date

Twas the night before due date, and all through the home
No baby had come yet, thus this silly poem.
The onesies were folded, in the nursery with care
In hopes that Addison soon would be there.

So Dad and I waited, Gigi and Chief too
With hopes of our dreams finally coming true.
We settled ourselves in, to watch the Games
To see if Shaun White could live up to his fame.

Hopefully by this time tomorrow,
Mom's heart will be filled, with joy and not sorrow.
And, at last, you will be in our arms
Surely already working your charm.

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Well, the big goal of January was to post something since SO much has been going on. But, there was just a little TOO much going on and we never got to it. So, in honor of the recent late show wars...here's our top ten list:

10) Auna celebrated the big 3-0 (turning 30 and being nine months pregnant is not the ideal combo, therefore a half birthday celebration is in order this year)

9) we took fake Christmas photos in front of the Christmas tree while it was still up and since we didn't send out cards anyway (Chief wasn't very cooperative)


8) Auna had her Tucson baby shower, hosted by her wonderful friends Melissa and Robin—Addy was showered once again and we found ourselves with even more things that we don’t know how to properly use


7) J got to hit the links a couple of times, taking advantage of the freedom and the wonderful Tucson weather (according to Al Roker—gag!—much of the country has had pretty miserable winter weather-who knew?)

6) the winter sun comes through the side window now, making a perfect spot under the table for Chief to sun himself...not the most flattering photo, but he's silly like that


5) we’ve put the finishing touches on the nursery—still no photos, really (SORRY)

4) Auna’s work threw her a baby shower and invited all her sales reps, who of course showered Addy once again (this times, gifts in return for wine!)

3) Auna shocked J (and the Odells) when she reached for some crispy bacon and devoured it while out to dinner. A bacon hiatus for 15+ years was no match for a pregnancy craving.

2) on January 28th, Addy reached full term! ‘nuff said


1) on January 29th, Auna found herself wondering why Addy wouldn’t just come out already! Therefore, the much requested belly shot. (Yes, I do appear HUGE. But my doctor insists that I am measuring “right on track” to the digit at every appointment—ALL belly.)

We are now accepting bets on when Addison is going to make her way into this little world of ours. Official due date is Feb 18. A prize to the winner!
