Two more weeks! (Plus or minus two weeks...)
We are all very excited to meet this little guy. We are also enjoying our time together as a family of three.

| 38 Weeks - It's getting a little crowded.... |
As for me? It's true what they say that each pregnancy is different. This one has been a little harder physically (I am moving a lot slower and have more fatigue now than I remember at the end with Isaac). On the flip side, it has gone by a lot faster. With a busy job and a busy family it makes it easy to forget I'm pregnant. The preparations this time around are more about getting Isaac ready for a brother. And, it feels more personal. It's less about the public celebrations, and more about our family.
Isaac is also growing up quickly before our eyes. The last couple of mornings he has proudly woken up before me to get dressed, see Dad before he heads off to work, and make me breakfast in bed. He makes a killer yogurt and honey parfait. He started "pink reading" at preschool this week; an introduction to reading and writing. He loves it and we've started doing it at home, too.
So, in case you've been wondering, here are some questions we get asked regularly...
"When are you due?" September 10th.
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Yes, a boy.
"How are you feeling?" Pregnant...
"Do you have a name picked out?" Yes, but we'll announce it when he's born.
"Can we have a hint about his name?" No. Unless you take Eric out to a bar. Then he'll probably slip it to you.
"Are you having another natural/non-medicated birth?" Oh hells no. Been there. Done that. I am (pretty) sure I will elect for the epidural. Then again, we'll see how things go...
"Is Isaac ready to be a big brother?" We think so. He has done a great job so far, but we all won't know what's really hit us until he is here! As always, it will be a wild ride and we're up for the adventure...
