Bad Bloggers!

Since we have learned about our son, Jacob, ( I LOVE SAYING THAT) things have been a little hectic in the Bertrand Household. JF got home around 1am on Aug 8th. My sister Jan and her husband Jeff, and their three kids Brendan, Lauren, and Ethan arrived around 3pm on the 8th, as did my parents with their dog Darby, and more baby furniture than I thought our house could hold! It was so fun and chaotic and crazy! (Everyone got to look at the pictures of Jacob and agreed that he is a handsome little devil.) Poor sleep-deprived JF was such a trooper and made pizza with the kids for dinner that night. Here is a picture of one of the chefs!

The next morning, we somehow managed to drag ourselves up before 6am so we could get to the Cape without dealing with hours of traffic. Once we were there, we were able to relax. In fact, we had a mermaid sighting!


I love this picture of lovely mermaid Lauren!

But we only had a few days there before we were back to our place to get cracking on Jacob's room. No rest for the weary! Sorry, JF! We painted the room this delicious buttercream yellow and set up the crib and got the rocking chair in place. JF was so cute and said, "This color is the color a baby's room is supposed to be." I could not agree more! I am hoping to have pictures of it posted in the next day or so.

Our next task was to go through all of our things and downsize. We have to make some room for Jacob's things!! It was a rough couple of days for JF who hates to throw anything away, but I am proud of him and feel like we accomplished a lot! But there went our Friday!!

Saturday my brother Brian, his wife Jenn and their two little ones Miles and Ella came to visit! They had a wonderful baby giftbag for us which held the cutest little onesie that says Here Comes Trouble! amongst many other gifts. Sadly, we lost the battery charger to the camera, so I have no evidence of their visit. But Miles and Ella are sweet as can be and we were so happy to see them!

We capped off our family vaca with a visit from JF's parents. They brought diapers and baby hats (wait till I get you the picture of those!!). We will be able to donate those baby caps to the orphanage and the hospital, so we are very grateful for them!

At any rate- that is why you have not heard much from us. We are so thankful for all of the kind emails and comments that we have gotten. We feel so loved and supported by friends and family and are just basking in the glow of it all!
