Well hello there second trimester, so nice to meet you! Seriously. It's a huge relief to have made it safely to this milestone and finally (FINALLY!) have the big news out in the open. When we e-mailed our friends with the news, we got no less than 52 enthusiastic responses. . . right before they all started placing bets on which football team this kid is going to root for, haha. By the way, it's going to be the Redskins! :)
We know one thing for sure: this little guy or gal is already fitted out as a Future Duke (J-M-U DUUUUUKKKEEESSS!!!) thanks to Uncle Josh. He went to JMU for the day and brought back a tiny JMU onesie and the cutest little JMU socks I've ever seen (along with Chicken Souvlaki from Dave's Taverna for yours truly- does he know me or what?!). Now we just need something ODU for a fair and balanced household.
We have also kicked the baby research into high gear. The amount of stuff we're going to have to buy/register for is a bit overwhelming. And it's not like registering for your wedding where you just pick out the pretty place setting you like. You're choosing contraptions you are going to strap your tiny little fragile baby into, among other things. So the Baby Bargains book has been my nightly reading lately (thanks, Erin, for the recommendation!). This book has been a lifesaver.
14 weeks down, 26 to go!
