Baby Updates

It's taken me a while to write, but the truth is that I haven't had much news! We have been doing our best to get ready for the babies, which is a bit of a challenge when your energy is low and you're not feeling as mobile as you used to be.

But here are the updates. First, my sister-in-law Lora threw us an amazing baby shower, that's two masterpieces in two years! Everyone had a great time and I was absolutely dazzled at the generosity of our friends and family. Above, my favorite photo (so far -- I haven't seen many!).

The other things we're working on is finishing our wills -- perhaps even less exciting than it sounds -- and figuring out where we want to live for the short- and long-term. We've had our place on the market for a while, but no bites yet. We've also narrowed down the neighborhood we want to move to. The news media really ought to check it out, it seems to be an anomaly to the headlines of dropping home prices. Yikes!

As for the pregnancy itself, we're doing pretty well. Both babies seem to be healthy and growing, and my side effects are getting less annoying. I seem to have conquered the worst of the morning sickness, fatigue, insomnia, back pain, and have now moved on to puffy ankles. Sounds almost harmless, although there may be the possibility of bed rest in my near future. Well, either way only 8 more weeks to go!
