With the absence of any real noteworthy news, here's a few odds and ends:
* By popular demand (or the fact that a couple people have mentioned it) I've changed the settings on the page so that anyone who so chooses can leave a comment. This means you no longer need a google ID to let us know your deep thoughts on the posts. If you post under anonymous, though, just remember to type your name in the message box.
* I got to spend last weekend in California visiting with friends and attending a baby shower for Kim. It was great to be back in the ol' stomping ground again. It is an interesting paradox to live in a place that does not yet fully feel like home and then to return "home" only to find that it no longer fits either. All part of the process I'm sure. I really enjoyed getting to see everyone and am looking forward to our return in July.
* The baby's movements are getting more and more profound. I pushed into my belly the other night and felt an actual body part moving underneath my fingers! It was both awesome and creepy at the same time. I tried to get Mick to feel but the baby wasn't cooperating and then Mick got a little worried he might "squish" him.
* Mick and I are both entering into what I've termed the "freakout" time of the pregnancy. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say I'm still averaging at about a four with periodic spikes of 8 or 9. For me, I am faced with the reality that I am going to have to somehow get this baby boy out of my belly. No option really sounds that appealing, which is why I've tried to avoid thinking about it until now. With only a few months left, I can no longer pretend that he will just magically appear without permanent damage to my body. For Mick, I think it is the realization that our lives as we know it are going to cease to exist and this child will take over. Although we are well aware that this is a wonderful blessing, we have NO IDEA what to expect except that everything will change.
*Lastly, we are this close to choosing a name. We'll keep you posted as soon as we decide for sure!

It was so good to see you this past weekend! I'm really excited to see you again later this summer...hopefully when the baby is moving a little more.
It was great to see you at Kim's shower! I just loved your newfound realization of where your son is going to exit your body! I was laughing so loud my husband heard me over the TV and came in and asked me what was so funny!!! Everything will be OK. Just remember we are praying for you! We will add in the part about an easy delivery, please God! Hey, Mick--way to go! Remember this every year from now on--by the way, breakfast in bed on Mother's Day is a big hit with most Mom's!!!
Lots of Love and Prayers!
