Getting Ready

The residents of Michael Delving have been excitedly getting ready for the arrival of Baby Boy, who is allegedly arriving on or about May 2.

 Birthing supplies are all acquired, washed and ready to go...

 The changing table is all stocked up...

 The baby boy clothes are all washed and folded...

The upstairs room has been completely redone.  Below is the room seven years ago.

With the reconfiguration, it is now mostly Ela's bedroom (with one wall painted baby blue.) We're trying out the title of "The Bower" for this room.

Ela is delighted as she begins to comprehend what it means to be the only girl.  She'll have to share with Baby Boy for a few years, but all this is her space.  Space of her very own is one thing that she's never experienced.

The downstairs playroom has been reconfigured as well into "The Bunker."  There are a few more details to take care of, but it's going to be a military-ish room that positively reeks of dude in fairly short order.  The Hobbit Wife has promised Navy-style room inspections to maintain order for the downstairs troops.

Boookie spends a lot of time practicing his trigger finger, and he's always wearing a camouflage something.

That crazed look in Seimi's eyes?  He's loads of fun, but that look is likely to show up with increasing frequency as he's displaced from the baby to the "Medium-Size Boy."
