Aiden's pool

Here's the game:

Guess the date and time closest to Aiden actually being born and you win half the baby pool. The other half goes to Aiden :)

It's a $10 buy-in for each slot. Each slot is one hour long. If you decide on a date and time that you would like, please send Amy and Toby $10 and then we will reserve the time for you!! (Note: we can't reserve the slot until we have the money... it's too hard to keep track of who's paid and who hasn't!!)

Aiden's due date is Jan. 27, 2008. They say first babies are late... and boys are late.... but who knows really???

Here's the link to the calendar so you can see who's guessing what:

Take a peek and tell us what you think!!

The babyshower is going to be on Jan.3rd and you can sign up in person then. Last day to sign up will be Jan. 13th, 2008.

We're engaged!!

Toby proposed on Friday, Nov 9th. We went for a walk to the lake when he got home from work. There was a play going on in the little community center right on Sheridan and Granville at the playground. He found some rocks that faced the Chicago city skyline at night. I could hear the waves from the lake crashing onto the rocks where we stood. He was very nervous. And he got down on one knee and said some very sweet things that I won't repeat and then pulled out the beautiful ring in the box and asked me to marry him.

He's so cute :)

We've set the date for Aug.9th, 2008. We'll be sending out Save-the-date cards soon!

This is my first post on my Blog.

We thought we'd create a blog site for the Baby shower with some pictures of his room and some ideas of things we'd like, since a lot of it isn't from Babies R Us and Target.



We've included a few pictures of us. Obviously the ones of me pregnant are recent. I've gained 40 lbs already. I'm 29 weeks along.

Toby and I are going to see a woman today who does massage during labor. We're hoping to have to use the crazy epidurol drugs... of course, lots of women say that until the moment arrives!!


We'll be delivering in the new Northwestern Women's Apprentice that has all new private rooms and showers etc., so Toby and Ellie will actually be able to stay and get some sleep if they want.

Aiden's due date is Jan. 27, 2008.

So far the theme for the baby room is purple and blue stars and moons. Once we finish painting and putting up the border, I'll take some pictures and post them.

We've already received some really lovely gifts too that I will post soon.
