The Boy Approacheth

Another step in preparing for the eminent arrival of "the Boy" has been completed, thanks to help from ENP who chose the colors and JS and KK for their help in actually painting the baby room! I think it looks terrific, even with freehanding the paint lines. First, having the crib in the room really struck me every time I walked in to check email at home, then the boy kicked this weekend and I felt it--and now the room is painted! Small steps to be sure, but I know things are going to ramp up as we pass the 22-week mark. Speaking of small steps, our guest bathroom now has cat paw prints in Carolina Blue thanks to the ever curious Halle the Cat.

As for names, many have asked about continuing the JWP IV tradition with a 'V," however ENP and I have agreed that it might be best to try a different tack. Although we have some ideas, something tells me that we'll have to wait until he pops out and see what feels right. James Tiberius Kirk Parks will probably not be allowed, although I have identified a potential source for a young starfleet officer uniform.

Until next time, Nation--check out the last post concerning Matt's questions, and post them! And definitely head over to Blake's blog for some entertainment.

Whoops--I didn't mean to delete my comment.

I don't think ENP will go for any names associated with space opera.

I fear that I have awoken in an alternate universe. Almost everything seems the same, but there are some anomalies. For example....JOHN PARKS HAS A BABY ROOM!

I must find a way to return to my previous timeline before I meet my other self and destroy the continuum.

ENP can't know the names of ALL the minor Star Trek characters. You are certainly clever enough to sneak something in. How about Hugh? Hugh Parks. Middle name? Mogh.

Hugh Mogh Parks! She'll never suspect a thing.

How about Jack Nicholson Parks? There is no person on the planet cooler than Nicholson, so you really can't go wrong.
