Practicing at birthing class...

We never dreamed our little baby would be so beautiful.

Pepp's room is ready and waiting!

Due Date Comes..... and Goes

Baby Drain has officially passed the 40 week due date and is apparently plenty comfortable and not planning on meeting the world quite yet! Our doctor appointment today confirmed that Sarah and baby are completely healthy, if a bit uncomfortable! Any day now - hurry up, Pepp!!

Prego Pizza!

Last night we tried the latest in a series of efforts to get Pepp to hurry up and be born- Skipolini's "World Famous" Prego Pizza, which claims to have sent scores of women into labor within hours of eating it!

Pepperoni, salami, ham, mushrooms, sausage, bell peppers, linguisa, and EXTRA onions and garlic didn't seem to do the trick just yet, but definitely left us with strong breath and happy tummies!

After a busy few days in SF, we continued to tire Elizabeth out on the ferry (it was a tad windy), at a concert in SF, wine tasting in Livermore followed by dinner at the Drains! We delivered her to the airport 29 minutes before her flight left - good thing the girl has been training for a marathon!

Week 36 - Getting Closer!

We were in this morning for our 36 Week check-up. We are only 7 days away from being in the "normal delivery" time frame - Scott better get going on assembling the crib!

A Shower for the Baby

A great party hosted by Katie and Jess gave Sarah and Pepp the chance to spend an afternoon with the girls and share lots of laughs. Grandma Boland and Aunt Melissa flew out from the East Coast and celebrated with Aunt Mary, Grandma Drain, and Aunt Joan.

Poppa Drain Signs Deal w/ A's...

Paul Drain helped lead the Oakland Athletics to a 6-5 victory on Saturday afternoon with an amazing catch in the 2nd deck of section 215. The pop fly skimmed the tops of fingertips of other A's fans and landed right in the hands (well...chest) of Senor Daddy-0. Pepp's first MLB baseball will keep company on the shelf w/ famous baseball of Ty Cobb & Tommy LeClerq.

Bigger Momma-To-Be

Pepperoni keeps growing and kicking and growing and kicking some more! It seems clear at this point that a soccer player will joining the family in about seven short weeks!

Yosemite Babymoon!

We just got back from our last little vacation before Pepp arrives. Weather was perfect, falls were flowing, and Sarah was a real trooper - she hiked all the way to the Vernal Falls bridge and beyond!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Green Eggs and Toast! Look closely - it's hard to see in front of the green jacket! I thought that b/c we're both on the wagon these days we needed an alternative to green beer. Apparently I went a little bit crazy with the green food dye and now we're hoping that little peppers doesn't come out in June looking like a leprechaun. For the record, those were some good I'sh eggs! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
