Baby #2

So you may be asking yourself, why is Erica taking naps and not doing the zip line or ropes courses? Well it's because we are expecting baby #2! We are due on January 30, 2009. Levi will be 26 months old at that point so we'll be smack in the middle of the terrible-twos with a newborn. Not sure if this planning was a great idea or not :) Levi know about the baby and likes to lift up my shirt and give the baby kisses (zerberts) on my belly.

This is also the reason why we put the rails on his twin bed so early. We figured we could start now and we have a while before he actually needs to be in there. He's doing really well so hopefully it won't be an issue when the baby comes. The plan is to rearrange some furniture (yeah! I love rearranging!) between Levi's room and our "closet" room. We'll put a dresser in Levi's room and the glider and a bassinet/pack-n-play in the "closet" room (aka the new nursery). Our hope is that once #2 (our current name for the child) sleeps through the night they will be sharing Levi's room with him.

We have our second ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday, September 3rd. We are not planning to find out the sex of the baby - Andy liked running into the waiting room exclaiming "It's a boy!!" so we'll wait again.

Here is a fairly awful picture of me - but it shows how I'm showing now (at 18 weeks).
