So unfortunately, Eleanor is not here yet. We went to the doctor last Wednesday, and he said that he'd be surprised if we made it to next Wednesday without having the baby. So that's good news, but Nikki is till miserably uncomfortable.
Our wonderful friend Erin made us these wooden letters for Eleanor's wall that Nikki and I are in love with. Especially Nikki. The letters are from some website where you can submit any font and size you like, and they cut letters for you. I think you can order them painted different colors, but Erin got them blank and painted all these designs on them herself. Can you believe this? Seriously, this is a literal question: can you believe this? You should have seen Nikki when the letters arrived. She hasn't been that excited since we found out we were pregnant. They are easily Nikki's favorite thing in the room. Occassionally, she'll randomly get up to go into the room, and say to me, "I think I'm going to go look at the letters" in this squeaky, giggly I'm-a-fifth-grader-who-just-met-Jordon-from-the-new-kids-on-the-block voice. Last week, we were driving home from a bed & breakfast weekend in Salado, and as we drove home Sunday morning, she said, "I can't wait to see the letters." They are that good. Pictures attached, but the pictures don't do them justice. If you live within 250 miles of Waco, come see them. On second thought, maybe you should wait till Eleanor comes so you can see her too.
