At this rate, my man card will run out of punches...

So, this is one of those things that, as a guy, I probably shouldn't admit. I've really enjoyed picking colors for Rylie's room and putting it all together. Go ahead, Ill mail in my man card if I need to. When we started seeing it all together like this, it really hit me that we're having a child. To clarify, I mean it hit me like a brick wall of emotion at 75mph. I cry a lot anyway, and this pregnancy has definitely turned on the waterworks like never before. Standing in the doorway, I cried quite a bit knowing we're going to have a little girl in there soon.

In other news, one thing I am only slightly less excited about is the advent of our Lamaze classes. I have no idea what to expect, so it should be quite an adventure. The common theme in the advice of our friends and family is that it will all go out the window when Shawna goes into labor anyway. Also, the shower is next weekend, and should be a pretty good time. In the meantime, I will be dog-sitting for my parents. Shawna is pumped to see friends and family.

Rylie has been having the hiccups a lot lately... I find this strange because she does not yet have functioning lungs. Maybe I don't understand the phenomenon correctly, but I can only assume that she is simply doing this for attention :)

My Latest (and equally as likely to derail) Attempt at Consistent Blogging!

I thought it would be cool to chronicle our belly flop into parenting. After running it by the board of directors (aka my wife), we're a go! I have never successfully blogged on a consistent basis, so please set your expectations accordingly.

Anyway, Shawna is approximately 33 weeks preggers, so we're counting down the days until Rylie gets here. We just finished her nursery, and can't wait to see her. Here's our most recent photo of Shawna's progress!
