Another bump....

Sorry that things have been pretty quiet around here for the last few weeks.....needless to say, Jeff and I have kept ourselves pretty busy. This includes building up our stockpile of essential baby gear. Here is a list of what we have managed to accumulate in the last few weeks:

* Crib bedding

* Crib (thank you, Mom & Dad Wiberg!)

* Graco Pack-n-Play (thank you, Mom & Dad Haase!)

* Stroller

* a handful of clothes, all found on awesome clearance sales! (most of these are winter items, including a winter coat, so they are sized for next year's use)

Ok, even though this list is quite impressive, it makes me realize that we still have a lot to accomplish! Jeff plans to paint the baby room this week, and we'll also start planning out our baby registries so we can get all of that squared away ASAP.

We have really come to realize that our lives are already consumed with all things "baby". And you know, that's not such a bad thing. ; ) It's hard to believe that we are already at the six month mark, and just two weeks away from that infamous third trimester. Here is the latest belly shot, for those of you on "bump watch":

24 weeks, 1 day

And for the very observant, yes.....my timer (aka. belly button) has officially popped. Ding.

Our little Sprout is getting more active every day, which has been awesome yet crazy at the same time. We can't wait for him to keep getting bigger and stronger, though I've been warned that soon my insides will feel like a trampoline (according to our friend Colleen)! Bring it on, I say. : )

Jeff and I are also planning a little weekend get-away for (hopefully) sometime in February, kind of as a last "hurrah" for just us, before Sprout makes his appearance in May. Even though we are limiting ourselves to the tundra of Minnesota for this little trip, it will still be lovely to just relax and unwind together. We are also planning a trip to visit my family in ND sometime in March, before I get too huge and can no longer fit in our car. : )

That's it for us.....take care!

Love,

Farrah & Jeff (and Sprout)
