We have been doing more and more to prepare for baby's arrival lately. We've (mostly) cleaned out our 3rd bedroom, ordered a crib, and purchased some bedding material, wall decor and a dresser. We've even finished registering, which was one of the most daunting tasks, given we really have no idea what this little one will need/want when he comes into the world. All this preparation makes things a little more 'real' as I finish the last few weeks of my 2nd trimester. That, and the fact that baby has been kicking up a storm every day - usually after lunch and in the evenings. I'm glad he is healthy and is moving around a lot, but ouch! sometimes it hurts a little! :)
We had dinner with some good friends the other night. I realized that in a few months, all of us at dinner would be in a completely different location and stage of life. By the end of summer, some of us will be starting medical residency in a different part of the country, others will be living overseas doing missions work, and Tim and I will be introduced to a world of feedings, diaper changes and strollers. Funny how there are so many transitions in life...I hope we're ready for this one!

Please post similar pictures of Tim so we can see his food bump.
glad that baby is healthy! have you thought of names yet? that's one of the best parts...get the microwave bottle sterilizer. i've used it SOOOOOOOOOOOO much since having Faith and she's only 9 days old!
You're ready - never going to be absolutely 'prepared' because parenting, as you will know, is full of unexpected surprises. :)
Lookin' good, J!
