april updates

two weeks to go until terri's due date, and we are excited to finally meet the little guy! lately we've been taking care of some final preparations like installing the car seat and packing a bag for the hospital, and we think we are as ready as we are going to be. we even boiled all of our cloth diapers to get them ready for use. when they are new they have a waxy residue that prevents them from being absorbant, so they have to be washed several times or boiled to remove the residue.

we've been pushing our stroller around the apartment and turning our swing on to get brinkley used to all of the new things that come along with a baby. he is curious about everything but is adjusting well, and we know he'll be a great furry big brother.

now we are just waiting for william to decide when he is ready to come out and meet us! here are a few recent pics...


terri practiced her cloth diapering skills on a "baby"


double double toil and trouble...here are aaron and lea (our doula) boiling the diapers


this is where brinkley spends much of his day...that is, when he's not sleeping


brinkley loves his daddy!



aaron practiced swaddling on brinkley...i don't think he liked it very much!

I think Aaron needs to work on his swaddling technique - but hopefully William won't be as big as Brinkley!!!! :)

Congratulations Aaron and Terri!

Denise and I are expecting May 9th. I'd propose a race to see who delivers first but Denise is 5 for 5 going late. :-)

I don't blog, twitter or update my Facebook page (maybe someday...) but you can reach me by gmail.

God bless you all!
