What's going thru Mom & Dad's head these days...

Some people have asked how Peter and I are feeling/thinking these days with under 2 months to go.

Peter seems quite excited and nervous. He's never really held or cared for babies before, so I think that is the nervousness. But his excitement is really encouraging. He has been really great about feeling the baby move, talking to her and hugging her. Telling her things like he is excited for her to arrive so we can play with her and show her the baby room. He is thinking about things like when we can take her to Disneyland (probably some self-driven desires in that one!). Very sweet of him. My thoughts arent that long term. My thoughts are more like "I wonder how long it will take me to get to sleep, how many times I'm going to pee tonight, etc." It is really encouraging to have his love, support, and excitement from him. While I'm sure this feeling will quickly wear off in the first few days of intense crying and sleepless nights, it is nice to know we are both feeling the same emotionally as we go into this experience together.

We still havent finalized a name yet although many people have been tossing over their favorites to be selected. I have to say that we will likely make a decision and keep this to ourselves :), surprising people when she is here (probably only then we'll have made a decision anyway!)
