[We were] Waiting on a baby...

[Below is the posting I wrote the morning we went into labor, but before I realized it. We never got to post it but got such a kick out of re-reading it that we thought we'd post it now...]

So according to our blog poll, 72% of you apparently were spot on - our little man is late. I'm feeling ok, though very ready to meet him! He's doing a good job of keeping me inside with my feet up and drinking as much water as possible; meanwhile his big brother has taken it upon himself to be an active bodyguard and won't let me leave his sight. Which is actually encouraging that something will go down soon; usually Bo is interested in my activities, but mostly because they are correlated to me possibly walking or feeding him. These days he is sleeping at my feet, regardless of where I am, and has a general worried look about him.

All that aside, we had a feeling the little man would be late, so we waited until the last minute to debut the nursery. It has been more or less functional since May, but we added a brand new closet over the weekend to get everything organized, and just finished hanging pictures yesterday.

You all might be aware that we've had a ton of people trying to guess the name, or trying to trick us into spilling the name - the biggest culprit being Kevin's mom. We have blocks on the windowsill that spell out 'laugh' which we bought on our babymoon thinking that there will be 2 am feeding moments when we need some perspective. When we showed Ro the nursery for the first time, she got quiet and really focused, which I thought was odd since I expected a lot of ohh'ing and ahh'ing. Turns out she thought the blocks were scrambled and actually spelled his name, and that I had left them out by accident, so she was trying to figure it out in her head before I realized "my mistake." Lucky for Singy, we are not naming him Gauhl or Haugl - but you'll find that out soon enough;)

Anyway, here are his new digs, for whenever he decides to leave his old ones!
