Flowers from Daddy!

I know that I just posted this morning but I wanted to show everyone that I have the best husband in the whole world! I was feeling a little blue yesterday ~ missing home, feeling hormonal, the normal pregnancy things and today I got a little pick me up surprise from Karl!

The Card says, "I can't wait for the Baby!".....too sweet. Brought tears to my eyes. He is the absolute best!!!

SUMMER COOL DOWN!

Well it looks like the heat is upon us here in New Jersey. It has been in the 90's all weekend and should be in the high 80's with a few 90 days here and there for the next week. Karl and I went out last night and bought a big fat new air conditioner for the house (on the lovely Hopewell Company~ thank God!) AND we also bought little Miss Magoo a kiddie pool.

She absolutely loves it! I think that she would stay out there all day long if I would let her ~ which I just might, LOL! Anyway all is well here now that we have some air!!

Baby Max's Room!

Wooh! It was hot out today! But I wanted to show everyone that Baby Max's room is just about done. We got the bedding set and his infant seat/stroller the other day and his little room is really starting to come along!

I went to the doctor on Friday and all is well. I have gained 2 more pounds, putting me to a total of 17 (whew!), but I am feeling pretty good still so that is a plus. Unless you count how damn hot out it is!

The Evergrowing Rudolph Belly!

Well here it is for all the world to see! I am actually 33 weeks and counting.

Karl and I went to our last child birthing class last night and it was a good one! I do believe however that my husband is getting more nervous then he wants to let on ~ he was making wise crack jokes every time the instructor would get serious. Which on one hand made me want to smack him (pretty sure that was the hormones), and on the other hand I realized that he is just as nervous as I am but just shows it different. Either way we learned a lot about breathing and things to focus on during the actual labor. I think that it will be really helpful! Let's HOPE!

My dear sweet husband also had a premonition the other night. My actual due date is 7/11/07 BUT my sweet, sweet husband has decided ~ yes I said decided that Little Max will be born on none other than 7/7/07. For any of you that really know Karl you know that he means that 100%.

Needless to say we have decided to get a little wager going on who is going to pick the right date. But I need to come up with something really good when I win!! Any suggestions??

The Shredded Soccer Ball

While I was home last week I decided to buy Magoo a soccer ball. Partly because my mom had bought one for their puppy Izzaboo, and she had a ball with it. Well after my long drive with my awesome friend Melanie we tried it out. Magoo loved it! So much so that after about 10 minutes of playing with it she popped a hole it ~ no more soccer ball.

Much to my surprise she continued playing with it, even thought it was flat as a pancake! She has been toting it around for the last couple of days just throwing it around and so on, well this morning after Karl left for work I was of course sleeping and had my cute little puppy sleeping right along with me or so I thought.

I woke up to find little tiny pieces of soccer ball all over the bed! When I woke up and asked her what she was doing she just looked at me with her huge brown eyes like she had done nothing wrong and I just sat there and laughed. I wish that I would have thought quick enough to take a pic of the bits and pieces but she quickly grabbed the ball and took off. But I did manage to get a few of the "now really dead" soccer ball before it went in the trash!

Magoo and Daddy

Hi everyone!

Magoo had her 2nd training class today at Petsmart and she did fantastic! She now weighs 40 pounds and is getting cuter and cuter by the second!!

Welcome to the Rudolph Family Tree!!

Hi everyone!
I was shown by my fantastic friend Melanie all about the blog pages and thought what better way to show all my friends and family pics of Max and our new home in New Jersey.

I will try and keep it as up to date as I can....or at least as my belly gets bigger and bigger so I hope that everyone enjoys it!
