small beginnings

That's right, you may have heard there is another baby on the way. The official due date is 12/31/09, or maybe 1/1/10. Jess and I have been debating the benefits of a 2009 baby vs. 2010; tax right off vs. binary birth date and many others. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the little one comes. I'm sure it will be neither of those actual dates.

We're officially into week 15 and the second trimester. The Internet tells me that the baby should be about 4" long and about 2-1/2 ounces. Jess is starting to show, and went on a maternity clothing shopping trip with Diana last weekend.

Diana also helped us organize Simon's old clothes and toys into age categories and helped us to prepare for his move into the bigger bedroom (currently the guest room) in the next month or so. We plan to let him pick a paint color and some curtains and participate in his bedroom upgrade.

Roger was also hear and helped me to replace the rotting and sagging patio covering that is outside the guestroom window. This will allow much more light to shine in the bedroom and make it a much more pleasant outdoor play space as well.

We're all very excited! Stay tuned.
