week 33 - round two!



well, here we go... my commitment to be a little bit more frequent about these posts.  and the fun part is that while some will be dedicated to baby #2... i'll also get to share all of the fun developments happening in bubba's life too.

here's a quick run down of the pregnancy to date:

due date november 18, 2012

everything has been as smooth as can be expected.  a sonagram early on,
one ultrasound at 20 weeks (it's a boy!), normal glucose and blood tests
and we're on the home stretch

baby is expected 1-2 weeks before then

that means, that i've got about four more weeks of work, 
and potentially 5 more weeks until i'm completely 
outnumbered in the house

we're well-prepared, thanks to the fact that our first was also a boy
plenty of toys, clothes (and some really cute new clothes from ma'amma - thx!),
and all the gear we need (and we get some "baby cash" from my new gig - COOL)

we're going with color scheme vs. characters this time around
 green/brown/gray

we've upgraded our "rides" for the kids 
(bob duallie - thanks grandpa and grandma b - and a newcity mini double)

the front room is set up - crib, changing table... which also meant bubba got new furniture too in his room too

p hung the blinds and window coverings a couple weeks ago

we just need to paint, and get to do that with ma'amma and gung gung
this weekend

i think we're also trying to mentally and emotionally prepare ourselves, and the fact that we've done this baby thing before has been both a blessing and well... 
it's a mixed bag on how chaotic a second child makes the household.  so, we'll see and we're ready for anything :)!

life is full of many blessings, and we're on the verge of getting to experience the miracle of life all over again.  i'm so excited personally, for our family and especially for bubba.  he talks to my tummy, kisses is it, and wants to "po-po" or hold the baby already.  it's really, very sweet.  hopefully that will continue when we're on the other side of this journey too!

lot's more to come... stay tuned.
