Deuce's Due Date

I've put aside blogging this summer, given all the other things that have taken our time and attention, but after seeing the movie Julie and Julia (which I highly recommend), I've decided I just can't let it go permanently - I love it too much! So here's a quick update...

Today is the day that we've been expecting the arrival of our second son (nicknamed Deuce by his father) but I think the day will surely now come and go without his appearance. I had my 40 week check-up today and the Vandy midwife (my primary caregiver for this delivery) said that I'm still just 1 centimeter dilated, and the baby has not yet dropped. I guess he's just enjoying the last few snug days in Momma's belly.

Brooks is enjoying Momma's belly these days too. Our good friend Tonyamas, wife of Eric's college roommate, was in town a couple of weekends ago with a group of E's college friends and she took a few shots of us. Here are some of my favorites! :)


Presumbly, our last sitting as a family of three...


Brooks loves to "give Baby Brudder a hug" every day and will regularly talk to him through the microphone of my belly button.


Come out, little man, we can't wait to meet you!

I'm sure there will be additional, more frequent updates soon, when we have a new family member to introduce ... stay tuned!
