Victoria baked some Hershey brownies tonight. That makes 4 batches (I think) since she got pregnant and 0 batches prior to that.

So much for me starting that diet!

Alright, now we are going to put you to work. 😉

Victoria knows quite a few mothers/grandmothers and we are hoping that collectively you can provide us with advice on baby products. So, feel free to post a comment on this blog entry or send us an email.

Everyone will have different thoughts and suggestions, but we are looking for what has worked well (or didn’t work well) for you. If you purchased something and felt it was truly necessary and helpful for you and/or the baby, please post us a note. If it just didn’t work or you didn’t make use of it, let us know. As I mentioned in the previous posting “Overwhelming…”, we really didn’t have a clue on what to buy. We are better prepared now and have updated both of our Baby Registries, but still could use some help.

Here are a few things we can use some advice on:

• furniture (cribs, bassinets, changing tables, dressers, etc…)
• pack-n-plays, baby swings, bouncies, etc…
• strollers (jogging and regular)
• baby monitors
• high-chairs

If we don’t start to see comments from you experienced moms, we will start to call you out one by one on this website. 😉

THANKS!

Daddy and Mommy had a busy weekend with me.  They took me to a store with all these things for me, BUT didn’t buy me a single thing.  Come on, they should be spoiling me.

Then we went to the driving range last night and hit golf balls.  A lot of twisting and turning from Mommy and from what I could tell, she was hitting the ball about as good as my Uncle Danny does.  Actually, I think she was putting better than Uncle Danny.  😉

This morning, Daddy worked on the car and Mommy and I helped.  Mommy was pumping the brakes on the car so Daddy could bleed the brakes.  Boy, that was a lot of work for Mommy — she had to stop and get something to drink and eat.  Now, we are taking a nap together.

So, I had a busy weekend.  I guess Daddy is trying to start me early on golf and car repairs.

Talk to you all later, I’ve got to get back to my nap.

Baby Woodruff

We had another doctor appointment on Thursday. Everything is going just fine. Victoria and the baby checked out fine. We actually got to see a doctor this time. Well, he was only there for about 2 minutes. Long enough to squirt some gel on Victoria stomach and then to use the heartbeat monitor. We heard the heartbeat again — pretty cool!

He was a young guy and didn’t wear the typical doctor garb (white jacket, etc…) He had khaki’s and a shirt that was not tucked in.  We laughed about it after he left because he looked like he walked in off the street.
