 Chevy, are you going to daycare for the first time today? It's so exciting. We'll make some new friends. Maybe make a girlfriend. It's 11 days today. And today is a big day for Chevy. Cause he's starting daycare. This way he can make some new friends, he can get his energy out. Cause in winter time, it's hard for him to get his energy out. We live in a smaller house. We do have a nice fenced yard, but it, it's cold. He doesn't, he sort of spends winter sort of, you know, laying around for the most part cause it's too cold to go outside. So we figure, bring him to daycare, gotta make some new friends and get his energy out. It's his first day today. Are you all ready for daycare Chevy? You gonna be a good boy? Excited. Let's go. Let's go. Chevy. Chevy. You excited? He's so excited. He has no idea what's going on. We've been talking it up for a couple of days. You know something's going on. Oma and Opa were over last night and Oma was talking it up too. We meet all the girls. Maybe the stud of the show. So to speak. Fixed stud. Like I was saying earlier, we figured we'd get Chevy into daycare. Get some of his energy out and get him socialized a little bit. Diesel's a little bit old. He runs around in the backyard for a while and he's tired. And grouchy. And grouchy. He doesn't really like strange dogs very much. He thinks we brought him to the doctor because it's the same place as he gets all his needles. They tricked me. Maybe your future girlfriend's inside, eh? You never know. Well, we're 10 minutes late. We better get in there. Well, he was very nervous. He was very nervous. We just dropped them off in there. They're bringing him in. We're probably feeding off our anxiety a little bit too. Strange place and he's staying with strange people. So it'll take him a little while to associate this place with good things. Exactly. We just hope that he has a blast. Next time we bring him in, he's excited to be here. Yeah. This is exactly why he needs to be here though. He needs to be socialized a little more than normal. Exposed to new experiences. Yeah. Knowing that it's okay to be away from us for a few hours at a time and that coming back is not being abandoned here or something. Exactly. Makes new friends. Maybe this way, when new people come to our house then he won't be so overly, like, overly crazy excited. I think he still will be. Probably. That's just part of being a golden retriever, to be honest with you. Yeah. It's almost time to go pick up Chevy. Mm-hmm. We didn't get any phone call saying he was a bad boy, so let's hope he had a blast. I wasn't too terribly nervous. Mm-hmm. I hope. Yeah, if he did good, this would be more of a regular thing. That he can go and spend some time with other dogs and people other than us and see the world a little bit outside this little house and yard. Exactly, yeah. Kinda nervous though. Spend his horizons beyond this senior center we're running here. Yeah, got two seniors over there. Another senior probably snoozing away, snoring on our bed. We also had a doctor appointment for the baby. He burrs. That went well, right? Yeah, measuring 37 and a half centimeters. Yeah, all's well. His heart rate's around 140 now, so it's starting to drop a little bit, which is totally normal in late stage pregnancy. Yeah. 11 days? 11 days. 11 days from filming this. By the time you watch this, it'll be even closer. It burrs. We're talking on the way back here, I was saying. I understand why it's hard for parents to, you know, see their kids go off to school for the first day or daycare or whatever, because we just dropped Chevy off for daycare in someone else's care. That's all we can think about. I'm just like, oh boy, hope he's okay. Hope he's okay. I thought about, because it's only a, we are only dropping him off for half days. So I think that's all he needs. But like, I thought about calling them at the two hour mark to check in on him. And then I was like, no, don't be that parent, Brittany. There's a problem, they'll call. I'm embarrassed, I'm gonna turn off all of his friends. Chevy, your mommy's calling. But we gotta leave in just a few minutes now. Well, we could probably leave now already. Yeah, we were a little bit late though, so we'll be a little bit late picking them up. I hope he thrived and I hope he played and I hope he's super tuckered out and got lots of exercise. You miss your brother? We're gonna go get him right now. Okay, you can go get him and bring him home. He's all him outside, yeah. It's all good, no rush. He got a report card too. Very good report card. Chevy fit right into today's group. He was calm, easy going, and well-mannered. He played well with others, listened to staff. He also loved getting treats and head scratches. That's my boy. He didn't want to come back inside. Aw. Hey, hey, brother. You have fun. I'm so excited to see you. You're probably gonna be my best friend. So, Chevy, how was it? How was it? You ready to go home? Your brother's miss you. He's stressing, but he wasn't. He's having fun. Ready to go home now, Chevy? Go home, see Diesel? Yep. Yep. Let's go get Diesel. Let's go get Diesel. Is he in his room? There he is. There he is. Thanks for bringing my buddy back. Thank you. I'm gonna go bug him now. This is now my project. The time has come to clean this place up and organize it. I'm gonna get started today on it. We're gonna, first of all, get all blue out of here. Free absence space, bring in the terrain. I'm cleaning it off and sticking on one of those baby on board stickers on the back window. The reason we put those stickers on the vehicle is so that if the vehicle is ever involved in an accident, first responders immediately know that there's a baby inside so they can save the baby first. So I'm putting that on today because, like we said earlier, 11 days. 11 days left. And there really will be a baby on board. So, all blue, we're gonna detail you this month. I'm gonna polish you up. You're gonna look so pretty. But that's not today, okay? I don't mean to be mean, but today is not your day. Not yet, okay? We're gonna get this headache rack polished right up to a mirror finish. You guys wanna go outside? Oh, oh, watch out. There's a wiener behind you, Chevy. Ow, hey. All right, let me get my outside shoes on. Wiener. Are you still here? Wiener, come on. Come on to the front. Come on. All right, let's go. And off they go. That didn't get quite as much done at the shop as I wanted to, but I never do. I won't continue tomorrow. Come on, Diesel. Come on, Diesel. And I believe this is the last big thing I have to put together. This is the playpen and change table combined that is gonna be in the living room. She's getting there. It's been a bit of a process. I think this is probably the most frustrating thing you've put together yet, right? Just bad instructions. Yeah, bad instructions, yeah. Graco has much better instructions. This is a- In France. Yeah. What we're getting there. He's got the change table put on there. He's got the bassinet part. We gotta put on the canopy yet and the, what you call it, like the diaper organizer and stuff. Do you think parents design these things? Nah, can't be. There we go, that's a little safer. Just fell for what should be on the outside because that would be easy. Put it down. It's carrot, done. But they don't aim for easy. Yeah, this brand has made everything very, very difficult. Graco is very straightforward and very easy to assemble, easy to disassemble, easy to understand. And it seems like Graco was designed by parents, four parents. This seems like it was designed by some corporation who wanted to cut corners. My bad, I chose this one. It's a nice, it's a nice one. It's gonna be really, really nice. Just a pain in the butt to get together and disassemble. Just a nice, just like little things like this, like the securement to secure this changing table. Why is it way on the inside here? Now to lift this thing up, I've gotta like dig underneath here on this side and dig underneath here on this side. Meanwhile, there's a baby probably in here or around here, maybe on top of here. So you're like digging underneath here, trying to get this on. And remember, you gotta keep one hand on the baby regardless of whether there's a seat belt, there are a little belt there or not. And then you can fold this over like this. Whereas. Convenient. Common sense, what I think Graco would have done. I'm not sponsored by Graco or anything. Maybe I should be, I'm quite a fan. But it's always easier just to put this down and have the Velcro on the outside, done. It's true. And then to lift it up, you just grab the Velcro from the outside, but it'd be less pretty that way. And they're focused on the pretty. Yeah, got it. Functional. And I am just sitting here, being lazy. Well, I'm tired. I'm always tired now. But Frank and I, we're just snuggling. Got some of the other guys over here. The seniors, if you can see. Diesel, leaners over there. Chevy's probably having quiet time in his room. Today I was diagnosed with a mild case of gestational hypertension. So I've now decided to stop going so hard. And unfortunately I have to put down the reins to the vacuum. Let someone else take control. Hey babe. I got it. That's what he's here for to help me out. So, I don't like just sitting. Not a big fan, but that's okay. It's for the little guy. And well, I guess, and for my own health. But at least it's just a mild case and it is not pretty clumsy. And there it is in all its glory. After all that struggle. You'd think that they would make it a little bit sturdier, but they didn't. Maybe I'm a little bit of a critical new parent to be. But that's good. It'll do just fine. It's got the canopy for naps. You take this change table, you can fold it right around like this. Now you got one massive bassinet. And then when baby gets older, you take the bassinet, that layer out of there and it drops down a level and then it's a playpen, it's a little jail. A little baby jail when he's acting up. Straight to jail, straight to jail. Yeah, we like it. Very handy in here. We don't really need the clutter in here, but I mean, it's for his convenience and ours. So thanks for hanging out with us today. That last piece was assembled. It wasn't, you could tell it was from a different brand, I explained that already, but it'll do just fine. It'll be great. It'll do what it's meant to do, which is baby jail. It starts off as a bassinet and a change table, right? But once the baby grows into a little toddler or whatever, and then you take the bassinet out, you put the change table, you take that out, and then the floor goes down and then it's a play place, right? And it's not baby jail, it's a play place. You're going play around in there and we don't have to worry about you running around or getting into trouble. Anyway, so tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow it'll be 10 days to delivery day. See you then.
