Baby!

We had our second ultrasound today. You can see our little Peanut's profile here. Except for the fact that Peanut would NOT move to show us his/her left hand, everything appears to be in good shape. We collectively decided to interpret the not moving as a sign that he/she really likes to sleep rather than as a sign that we're going to have a stubborn baby. I did take a gander between the legs and I still couldn't tell what I was (or wasn't) seeing. So the gender will remain a mystery!

Because of a huge consignment sale in Denver last week, we also now have a nice little pile of baby stuff accumulating in the corner of our little apartment...bouncy seat, baby carrier, blow up bathtub, changing mat, mini-diaper bag. We also bought this:




As you can tell, we're very excited and we hope we have a room to set the lamp in someday soon. On that note, we officially mailed off our board packet for the NYC apt. yesterday, so cross your fingers that the board meeting happens soon and that the buyer is approved by both the board and the city. We have a meeting with a realtor on Saturday to check out a couple of neighborhoods in Denver.

Megan has been busy researching cribs, co-sleepers, carseats, the cheapest place to buy diapers (Costco) -- you name it! We're both thankful she has time to get our acts together before Peanut arrives.

I have been missing our former NYC community a ton lately. I don't miss the city at all, but I do miss our friends, our church, and the life that was built over 9 years there. We know it will take time to feel like this is home - and it is becoming home more every day - but it is hard to not meet in midtown to catch up over a drink or coffee. All that to say - come visit!
