Registered to be Showered

The boy requires swag, and we have registered for said swag. Feel free to click the links on the side bar to see what the kid wants.

As was the case when we got married, we were looking forward to registering, and scanning anything and everything we wanted.

This obviously was not our first go around in the gift registry game. Aside from our own wedding registry a few years ago we were asked to join Chris and Pryia Peters on their scanning for Ethan, and Stacy Byrd's trip through Babies R Us for Sydney (the day before Ethan was born).

One lesson we did learn from Chris and Pryia is to keep up with both of our registries daily so we are not blessed with two or three bath tubs.




I know the common worry when shopping off of some one's registry is not knowing what to get. As much as gift cards are welcomed, don't hesitate to just get whatever is on those lists because we are asking for them.

Information on the baby shower will be posted later. I can say it is in September.

Finally for those scoring at home...we are in the FINAL trimester!!!

Almost Called It

"The running joke is now that the Broncos are scheduled on the due date, we're wondering if the Canucks will come to Dallas on the 21st, before continuing a road trip to Denver to play the Avalanche on the 22nd. Sure enough that would mean the Avs would be here in Dallas that Friday the 24th."

Scroll down, and you'll find that exact quote from me after the Broncos schedule was released revealing the fact Denver would play on Monday Night Football against New England on Brendan's due date.

So today saw the release of the National Hockey League schedule with prime oppotunity for either the Avalanche, or Canucks playing Dallas, or each other around October 20th.



The possiblity of the Colorado Avalanche being in town as Brendan is brought into this world is a very distinct possibility now as they make their first of two trips to Dallas on October 18th.

While any other year I would have that circled to buy tickets, especially being a Saturday. But that won't happen this year and for obvious good reason. I mean imagine the scene:

Second period, Marty Turco has already been chased from the net with the Avalanche rolling behind a Burnaby Joe hat trick and my phone rings with the following message...

Bri - Hey, it's time.
Dwayne - WHAT!
Bri - it's time.
Dwayne - Time...2:13 left in the second period, how's everything at home?
Bri - No it's time as in baby delivery time.
Dwayne - What, I can barely hear you, did you say Sakic is delivering tonight?
Bri - NO MY WATER HAS BROKE AND THE KID IS ON THE WAY!
Dwayne - Water?...oh...OH...can he wait til the end of the game?

Yeah I don't think that scenerio works out well in real life.

As for the actual due date of the 20th, Colorado goes from Dallas to Los Angeles. Meanwhile the Montreal Canadiens host Florida, and the Vancouver Canucks are in between dates with Chicago and Columbus.

In other news, Bri did have a check up and another sonogram today. The sonograms did not come out very good, thus the lack of any proof here. The bouncing baby boy, is bouncing in at over 2 lbs and doing fine.

We will also be posting baby registry information this weekend. The baby room is already coming along with the crib and dresser set up.

And finally in two weeks begins back-to-back Saturday's with prenatal classes with valuable information for me, and what will amount to a nearly free delivery for Bri when the hospital bill comes which is without question one worry we are glad not to have financially.

So to recap...Avs may grace us with their near presence when Brendan arrives. We will soon let you know what to spend your money on. And finally I will get to see the gory birthing video...gigity gigity gooo, alright!
