Ben is waiting....

As you can see, baby Benjamin is so excited to meet his cousin Emma- he can hardly contain himself! We think they will soon become best friends- we keep telling him to be patient!

Mom & Dad's Visit!

Nicole's parents came down for a visit from Indiana, and Dad was finally able to meet his grandson! We had a lot of fun spending time with them. We went to the Arboretum one day, and they both came to our baby shower. On Mother's Day, Benjamin was baptized, and they also got to be there for that special event! We had a very fun weekend, we just wish they were still here! Actually, Mom will be back very soon, pending further information from the doctor on baby Emma's impending arrival. Nicole is now beginning to dilate, so potentially labor could begin very soon! We'll keep everyone posted, as we try not to become nervous wrecks.

Nesting

We've been busy lately-- let's chalk it up to nesting. David had concrete poured to finish out our patio (which turned into a rainy nightmare, but we won't go there). We also had our baby shower, so we've been having lots of fun washing tiny clothes and putting the finishing touches on baby Emma's nursery. Our baby shower was a success, with almost 40 people in attendance. It was a marathon gift-opening extravaganza, which ended with lots of very nice baby items. So, we continue to "nest" (like two birds- one with a very large, protruding tummy) and prepare our home for our new addition. 5 1/2 weeks (or less) to go!
