Preparing for her arrival

In anticipation for the arrival of our baby, we finished up our Bradley classes yesterday, made a poster about our birth for the class, made her an early Birth-day cake, and have been sleeping a lot. I guess our bodies know that we won't be getting much sleep once she comes, so they are storing up...?

We also have things packed and ready to go if it happens, knowing full well it could be several more weeks. The nursery is coming along- on Friday Pete's dad is bringing the rest of the furniture, and then we'll do a virtual tour for all of you who are so anxious to see it. :)

For your amusement, here is the poster we made for our Bradley class which shows what we hope our labor will be like. Yes, we have pretty much decided to name her Lucy, which is why the comic strip is titled "Welcome Lucy." I'll leave the poster up to your interpretation. :)

Here is Pete making the delicious Hershey's chocolate butter icing.

Lucy's Birth-day cake. We already ate some of it. We told her she could come out anytime she wants now, since we are prematurely celebrating her birth.

And for everyone who keep asking me how I'm feeling, here's my answer today: Physically tired and sometimes just crampy, achy, and uncomfortable. Emotionally, ready for the baby to come, and anxious/nervous about when that happens, but excited too. She moves so much, and we talk to her a lot, so we feel like we know her already and just want to meet her!

We promise to post every 2 or 3 days, or if anything starts to happen!
