I finally feel like we're making progress on getting the house ready for Baby Shoup. It might have taken a little extra nagging and some hormonal tears, but on Saturday Joey & I went on a hunt for a leather rocker/recliner and a dresser for the nursery. We found the recliner very quickly at The Dump and arranged to pick it up yesterday with Christina's help (and her truck "Big Red Fred") so it's now sitting in the nursery next to the pile of boxes that we still need to go through and find a new home for. We didn't have as much luck on our hunt for the dresser, but again, thanks to Christina and her employer, we found one that is just the size we were hoping for. She's going to help us order that this week and then we'll just have to wait for it to be delivered and I'm sure it will be filled up in no time as Baby Shoup will be "showered" for the first time this Saturday in Kansas where I'll get to see a lot of family and friends who it's been too long since I've seen.
In other news, shortly after finding out that Russ and Dawn's little girl Finley had arrived last Sunday, we also found out that there's another little one on the way for our group of friends. Stan and Kim will bless us all with Baby Tigrett sometime in September! It's Baby-pa-looza around here, but we couldn't be happier that Baby Shoup will have so many playmates close to his/her age. Trent & Amanda even brought Riley over on Saturday night and he's such a happy baby. He seems to love the attention (and of course be a big flirt with all the girls) although hopefully he slept very well after all the entertaining he did. We only hope Baby Shoup and all his/her friends-to-be are happy and healthy babies too. He/She certainly is active in there - not overly so that it wakes me at night, but usually once I'm awake in the morning he/she is as well. Granted, he/she gets in a few naps during the day (yes, I'm jealous!) :) but plenty of times during the day I get to enjoy the kicking/punching going on inside and even on the outside from time to time as well.

That's funny that you suggested Publix. I actually read great reviews on them too! Most places like Kroger are charging $2.50 a slice but the problem with them is they don't deliver.
