Jesper has been getting a lot of exposure to new babies recently, with Henry Jones, Evie Pitzl, and Halle Carlson all arriving within a few weeks of each other. Halle was the first one that he held, though, and he thought it was pretty cool! She snorted and grunted a little, and he giggled every time she made a noise. :)

We are in the midst of mad preparations for our own new arrival. My pregnancy has been similar to how it was with Jesper, but I was more ill in the first trimester with this one. I actually threw up a few times this time around but with Jesper I only had a couple weeks of not feeling well.
My nesting instinct kicked into overdrive after the holidays. I kept thinking that my due date was so far away, but suddenly it was the new year and we had only 8 weeks left before Baby #2 was due. After the holidays, we quickly converted the guest bedroom next to Jesper's room to the nursery and moved the rocking chair and crib into it. Then we bought a new dresser, floor lamp, and dresser from Ikea, and a rug from Costco. I think the room is turning out really well!
We call the little one "Baby Gray" (not pink or blue, but gray - because we don't know the gender). We aren't sharing names, but we think we've decided on our top picks for both a boy and a girl. Josh and I are getting very excited to find out if we will be playing cars or dolls with Baby Gray and are anxiously waiting labor to kick into gear.
