Surprise!!

We are finally officially announcing...

BABY BOLDUC due May 2012! 

We are so very excited to see and experience all of the many many blessings the Lord has and will give us with this beautifully tiny gift. :)

To my Dinner Date, Last night we went to Blue Sky Kitchen on a hot date and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We had a delicious meal, and you sipped on the beer on tap, and we had a wonderful conversation. It was fun, romantic, and an important way to reconnect after having spent some time apart this week. Until... At one point during dinner, I leaned over for a kiss, to which you responded my blowing beer breath directly in my face...a mere 4 inches or so away. What were you thinking?? After laughing until tears were almost streaming down your face, you said something about thinking I wanted to smell the beer. Nice...
To my iPhone, I made a very expensive mistake this week (a very "1st World" problem). After spilling an entire bowl of oatmeal on myself at breakfast one morning, I immediately took off my terry cloth robe and washed it to prevent "oatmeal concrete". It wasn't until much later that I realized I no longer knew where you were. Alas, I found you at the bottom of the washer after it had completed the entire cycle...fill, agitate, rinse, spin and all! I was distraught. I shook the water out, and immediately placed you in a bowl of rice, where you sat for 8 hours, then opened the back and placed you in a low-heat oven for another 5 hours, then took you to work the next day and put you in the desiccator for another 9 hours. After 48 hours, I finally turned you on and YOU WORK!! Are you kidding?! I am completely amazed.
To the Popmiester, You had many follow up appointments this week and a stress test, and what was the consensus among all the doctors??: You are a medical miracle. Growing up, you used to tell Banker Boy that he was a modern medicine marvel, but now I think you can claim this title! From this, we can come to two conclusions/sweet reminders: 1) The Lord must not be done with you yet; and 2) He is capable of incredible things! In this month of Thanksgiving, I can say we are all so very thankful for your health!

To Thing 1, After much debate over what to dress up as for our friend's Halloween Party, we decided to go as Thing 1 and Thing 2 for Seuss' Cat and the Hat. I loved being crafty with you for an afternoon and what an adventure it was to color our hair blue! Only Weathergirl could have pulled off a Thing 1 as good as you! 
To the Christmas Post, It is never too early to start writing you up...I actually feel like I might be starting late this year! Hoping to get organized and "publish" you by early December! 
To the GT Football Team, One word: impressed! Way to deliver at Saturday's game against Clemson! I can honestly say I haven't stayed up that late in a long time, but I enjoyed watching the very last minutes of the game and the crowd of loyal Yellow Jacket fans (and alumni!) storming the field in celebration. Only wish I had been that for such an incredible Homecoming game!
To my Dr. B., This last week, your last full week on G.I. Surgery, you completed an open inguinal hernia repair. I'm so proud!! Sometimes it amazes me to think that you go to work and get to do surgery all day. :) Good luck on your first day of Urology today!
