The Back-Up Baby...

The due date is September 16th and is cruising towards us more quickly than we realize! The other night as Jon and I were "finalizing" our baby name choices, we found that the ones we liked were still our "back-up" names for Owen. (This is when I opened my big mouth.) "How appropriate," I said. "Our back-up name for our back-up baby!" Well, that got Jon howling and me apologizing to baby. That is NOT how I meant it to come out! Can I blame this one on pregnancy-brain?

4 weeks left until baby and I am big as a house! Are we ready? I think so...but you never can tell. We dug out the infant carseat, little onsies and burp rags, and even started our packing for the hospital bag. Owen can outrun me, outlast me, but not quite outeat me...yet! (I am sure that day is coming.) We have enjoyed days at the beach and playing with his little girlfriend who lives downstairs, although watching the garbage truck in the mornings is maybe his favorite thing to do. Does he understand he is going to be a big brother? Probably not. But he does come kiss my stomache often and says, "Hhhhhi baby!" Soooo cute!

We'll keep you updated about baby news!

Wanna see some pictures?
