Many of you never leave Cat General, so this will be my official announcement over here. I am going to be a grandmom! My oldest step-daughter is unexpectedly pregnant and due in June. We have a LOT to do in the next 2-3 months and I already have a LOT of helpers ready to pitch in wherever they can.

Last night Ashley and I went to a swap meet where they were selling baby clothes, cribs, etc. to raise funds for the local church. Earlier in the day we were looking at nursery themes and the only one we both loved was "hey didle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon" theme (of COURSE I was going to sneak cats into the theme somehow! ;) ) We bought a mint green wall paint and decided to fly by the seat of our pants. Well.... we went to this swap meet, and if a beacon of light didn't appear over this crib set, it SHOULD have because its EXACTLY what we were thinking of .... AND the mint green in the quilt? A PERFECT match for our wall paint. Are we lucky or what? anyway.... sorry to ramble... I am excited, can ya tell?

I wanted to take these pictures to post in the thread in general, but in true feline fashion my girls had to come and give their paw of approval.

First came along Abby (we won't talk about her increased size - she's very sensitve about it)

Then came Flutter

Both inspectors

The boys? off running and making an awful racket as if they were a herd of buffalo. :rolleyes: I guess they save their inspections for the big stuff like cribs and bassinettes and leave the decorating to the girls. :p

We won't know what it is until he/she makes their grand appearance. Poor girl was in total denial about the whole thing - even after she heard the heartbeat she still didn't believe it was possible. So we missed the window of finding out the sex by about a week. The baby's too big and scrunched up already to be able to determine whether its a boy or girl. Thats why we went to a neutral theme like this one.... she wants a girl (shhhh, we'll never tell the baby that one if its a boy!) and I think its a boy. I actually think its more exciting to have to wait! I orginally wanted to know.... thats the FIRST thing I asked (well, after we determined it was 100% healthy)

WARNING! Kitties LOVE baby beds and baby stuff and you will not be able to keep them off off/out of it.

That blanket is adoreable and I just love it. Isn't it just amazing that it was there waiting for you to find it? This is going to be so much FUN! You are going to have a BALL! CONGRATULATIONS again!

This baby was surely send by God. There just ARE no coincidences, and finding that blanket should prove to you that He will be with you every step of the way.

I am just so excited I could BURST! (so I am surprized that YOU have not exploded yet...LOL)

Kim I already congratulated you in the other thread but I will say it again - CONGRATS GRAMMY KIM! You and I will be fellow grandmoms this June within a few days of each other, so get your rocking chair ready! LOL! ;) Of course the kitties are just inspecting your choice and have to give it the *feline seal of approval.* ;)

This is one of my favorite pictures of Robyn's kitty, Dandy. Robyn found her like this one day back when Christian was a baby. Doesn't she look annoyed that she has been disturbed? LOL!

Keep your camera handy once this baby arrives. We want lots of pictures of the little one and also the kitties' reaction! :)
