Big News

It seems comical that we're just now announcing this on here, but Rebecca is due to be a big sister in approximately 8 weeks.

Baby #2's estimated arrival date is June 13th, meaning Rebecca will be almost exactly 2 1/2 when she becomes a big sister.

We decided not to find out the sex of baby #2, just like we did with Rebecca. Picking out names has been harder this time around, mostly due to me. I keep finding names I love, then telling Brian and he'll agree. We'll have that name as The Name for That Sex for weeks, or in one case, months. Then I suddenly decide it would be a crime to name a child that, yuck how could we, and we're back to square one. I'm pretty sure we won't have names solidified until we actually see and meet him/her.

Rebecca is already is so excited for the baby. Several times a day she, unprompted, gives my belly a big hug and lots of kisses. She strokes my belly and talks to the baby. She tells me "Mama, when the baby comes out, I'm going to look at it". We'll ask her, when she says this, if she's also going to help us hold it, change it, play with it, so on. She'll look very serious for a moment, then say "yes, but I'm going to look at it". I think the suspense is hard for her too :)

This is me, falling off the face of the earth

Oh yeah, right... Rebecca has a blog. Hey, how about that.

So anyway, it's been a good 4 months since I posted last. Whoops.

I'm here now. It's the thought that counts, right? Good.

We've a few updates that need to be made (obviously, since it's been 4 months)but I think they each deserve their own separate posts.
