32 weeks down and only a short while left to go before we meet the baby!
In the meantime, we've welcomed another new family member -- Lauren's new kitty, Sinatra! We threw her a "kitty shower" to celebrate his homecoming.

We kept ourselves well fed with Liege waffles for International Waffle Day, complete with Spekuloos Spread!
We've been very grateful for how well the pregnancy has been going. Aside from some nagging heartburn, an overabundance of advice and commentary from strangers, and feeling wiped out by 10pm, things are great. He kicks all the time- especially in the car, in the evenings on the couch (he likes Dancing with the Stars and Good Eats), and after "eating" anything sweet. The Braxton-Hicks contractions started last week, which is a new experience. We have been starting to educate ourselves about that whole thing that happens in between pregnancy and parenthood, including a class on the matter beginning next week. Lindsay has been keeping up with tap class, prenatal yoga, and seeing patients full-time, and we both make the weekly Monday rounds at Whole Foods beer tastings with Lauren; Lindsay is on extended DD duty. Grandpa-to-be read the baby his first book a few weeks ago and melted our hearts. Julian is getting very excited to be new daddy soon!
