Lil' princess is still getting use to her new surrounding and has been "acclimating" by loud screeches through out the day. For the most part during the morning and afternoon she was sleeping, cooing a bit and having some booby. After dinner we spent the rest of the night until bedtime walking and singing through the hallway. John's amazing with her - hell he's amazing with me and "his girls" made it through the night ok.
Yvonne and Crystal came up to see the Vivian. Crystal was commenting that Kayla is now 1 year old and she can't remember her ever being as small as Vivian. They both oohed and aahed while John played with Taylor (and MoJo, Lumpy and the little mice) she's another cute red head.
Today is some relaxing going on and got a call from a recruiter this morning so waiting on a job description to come by.
Got the lil' munchkin home with us yesterday. Had a pretty uneventful night, but a little fussy after 4am until we got up. Lisa, Jared and Angie came to visit yesterday. Angie used to own a little coffee house and brought over the best chicken artichoke soup with molasses bread. yum yum yum - she's my new favorite best friend
Everyone is loving the little cutie as well as her name. Aunt Judy said grandma would be "over the moon" to know we named our daughter after her. Her middle name comes from John's mom and as he puts it "We are honoring some amazing women".
Speaking of amazing women, John has been reaching out to different friends (Tiff, Lisa, Keller, Yvonne) and letting them know he wants his daughter surrounded by strong women so they need to come hang. Of course in the same breath we were giggling because I think every woman we consider a friend would also be considered a strong woman. He said he just wants to make sure 'Our Village' has a lot of role models for Vivian.
This morning Franchot, Ed, Hunter and Marley came over to bring something pink for the princess. She now has 3 pink outfits, they say - Drama Queen, High Maintenance and Spoiled (in rhinestones). So when we were drinking coffee I was sure to being using my "It's Good to be The Queen" mug. They were off to lunch and then to get their wedding bands. They put an offer on a place in Vegas on Weds and it's been accepted. Franchot's house here in Beaverton closes the last weekend in June (or first of July) so we've got precious time left to spend drinking before she moves *grin*
As they were leaving Jim, Tracey, Sam and her friend Erin stopped by, it was great to see them as well and hopefully once I'm up and about we'll be able to visit more with them to catch up. All and all everyone was pretty in and out, so John, Viv and I are spending some quality time hanging out today. Right now John's snoring at the end of the bed, Viv is squeaking in her little snuggle me close co-sleeper and I'm updating my LJ. Ah - life is good!!
More photos to follow soon.

The cutest baby girl I've ever seen. Pictures to come.
I guess future posts will be about the baby instead of being pregnant as I'm going in tomorrow morning to have the lil' bean. Doc decided it was best to induce me in the am and get this munchkin out into the world. John and I are spending the day getting all the little things around the house in order or things that need to be done.
I'm excited, a bit nervous but most of all I think in a bit of shock. It's great to know that it will be tomorrow and despite knowing the facts, reading, hearing stories etc I'm still not sure exactly what to expect. Wow, I'm going to be a mom.
Suppose I'll shave my legs for the big day *grin* and finish packing my bag. I think I just might decide to have a chocolate milkshake for breakfast tomorrow seems like just the thing I'll need to make it through the long day.
