PICTURES!

Less than five weeks to the due date! Crazy... Heather is doing great, the baby is kicking and growing like crazy, and I still haven't freaked out, so all-in-all things are good.

I have been getting some serious flak for my negligent picture-posting on the blog, so here are a few tidbits.

Heather and I have had the honor of celebrating our coming baby girl at two amazing showers, where we were overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of our family and friends. Thank you to everyone for your outpouring of support and love. Unfortunately I was too busy opening gifts, talking, and eating delicious food to take any pictures at either shower, so the only image I can offer is Heather being welcomed by the glamorous red carpet announcing our "coming attraction."

At last the nursery (/office/guest room) is in order, so we are to the point where an early arrival would not mean an emergency dash to Babies 'R' Us to give her a place to sleep. The room is "Alice in Wonderland" themed, and here is a peek at her "Alice" shelf.

Heather can do a fun magic trick: When she faces you, she doesn't look very pregnant.

Then she turns and "Presto Preggo!":


Finally, I don't know who decided we were qualified to be parents- do these look like responsible parents-to-be to you?
