Mommy is getting bigger and bigger! In about 10 weeks, Reese will be here. It seems like a long time still, but Mommy is quick to point out it's third trimester. Who knows what that means, but I do know we're all busy getting ready.Avery and I are processing what this baby really means for our family. Some days are good days (I say, "I love Baby Reese soooo much!") and some days are not ("Daddy love Reese? Daddy love Kate? But Daddy love Reese?").
The story's the same for Eggie. Sometimes she likes to tell her friends about the baby and invite them over to hold her. Sometimes she's not so sure. After leaving a friend's first birthday this weekend, Mommy asked Avery what sort of party we should have for Reese next year when she has her first party. Eggie said, "An at-home party. She can't invite anyone and she will have to take a nap the whole time." She stood firm on the theme until she realized she might also have to take a nap at a stay-home-no-friends-nap party.
Mommy and Daddy are busy getting ready too. We've been redoing our bedroom and painting Reese's room. Mommy's been on a list-checking-off kick (she called it nesting but I don't get it). Daddy is even doing his own special thing for baby Reese... he's home brewing beer to pass out at her birth rather than cigars. The process is a long one, but it's going well and as soon as we're more certain of her birth date, he's even custom ordering her labels. Avery and I didn't get our own beers, so I guess being the last baby isn't all about being ignored and shuffled into the mix after all!

The baby's room is fantastic, and the flowers in Avery and Kate's room are really cute. Bet Avery likes them also.
