Derek just told me that he had gone into the baby's closet to look at the baby clothes (almost all supplied by my mother, so far) and think about how cute the baby would be. I have to admit that I've done the same thing, but I had no idea that he was doing it too. We are both so excited but every time we talk about how we can't wait to meet the baby we also remind it to stay inside until at least December.

My appt with the midwife earlier this week was uneventful. No sonogram but a nice healthy heart beat.

My sister has been here for the past week helping me to get settled. Not that we did much settling, but mostly just hung around together and entertained ourselves, while Derek started his first week at work. It was great to have her around, and reminded me of when we were kids and would move to new places and not know anyone else, and find creative ways to entertain ourselves. We're good at that together.
