Becoming Real

Slowly but surely, this whole thing is becoming more real. We've already started accumulating baby stuff -- a friend who has a three-year-old passed on her Brest Friend and a Pack-n-Play. We put in an application for a 2-bedroom apartment. You know, it's posted on Facebook and stuff, so certainly, that makes it real!

The most fun, however, is watching it slowly sink in with Mo. He was excited all along, but now he's prone to random bursts of, 'There's a baby in there!! Aahh!! It's so exciting!!' He talks to Blueberry more now, saying that we love him/her and that we are going to have so much fun, telling him/her to have a good day with its mom -- cute little talks. 



He's also all excited about reading child development books. (Surprised, anyone?) He's already concerned about how to discipline and set boundaries and all those good things. If he had time, he'd be at the community college, taking a class. 

All in time, all in time. In the meantime, I'm enjoying his enthusiasm.

Oh! And there's an update to the baby:pregnancy score. My friend Bridget had a baby girl on Friday morning, their second! Hooray! And I found out another high school friend is pregnant -- 3-4 weeks ahead of me -- so that brings the tally to 5:10 (5 recently born, 10 pregnant). Seriously, I think I'm going to have to open a day care for people born within this year.
