Getting ready for baby

We're counting down the weeks until baby arrives; I'm 32 weeks along and am hoping for an on-time or maybe even early arrival (we'll see if this kid wants to please his mother or not). So that leaves us with 8 weeks or so to get it all ready. Keith's been traveling so much that I'm feeling a bit behind but we'll get there. Luckily Will is all about helping out. He helped Keith put together our new stroller and thought his "big boy" seat was pretty cool. He wanted to ride around in the living room to make sure it was an acceptable ride. Apparently it passed the test.

We also got Will some new sheets for his big boy bedroom. They have super heroes on them and he picked them out all by himself. It's pretty fun. He also wants to go to the rattle store to buy baby a rattle, which I think is pretty sweet. He's getting more and more excited to meet his little brother, as we all are! So keep your fingers crossed that he'll be on time (or early...I'm actually hoping for early!)

Keith and I also got away for a weekend in Williamsburg last weekend. It was our last "hoorah" before baby comes. Aunt Jill was nice enough to come down and watch Will for us and I'm not sure who had more fun. They had pizza, cupcakes, and lots of one-on-one attention, which is what Will loves. We had quiet time and a romantic dinner, which is what I love. So in the end everyone was happy. Thanks, Aunt Jill!

Busch Gardens, Take 2

Spring has sprung in Virginia so it was time for our annual trip to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. We go for a day (free for the military!) every year before school gets out. We spent yesterday at the park and despite the heat, it was a great time. Will was able to understand and appreciate it a bit more this year. We started at the Sesame Street Forest of Fun, of course, where Will repeatedly hugged his favorite characters. That's my favorite part too. He also played in the water and rode some "big kid" rides. The adults (non-preganant ones) also rode some rollercoasters and water rides. We ate lunch at das Festhaus (the German themed restaurant) and Will loved loved loved the German dancers. He was enthralled with their performance and was dancing and clapping along to the music. I guess his German genes are strong! He got a few souveniers to bring home and managed to skip his nap and stay awake until 8pm last night, although the hours from 6-8pm were less than pleasant.







Will loved Busch Gardens but I would have to say he enjoyed the newly-installed DVD player in our van the most. He watched Pinnocchio on the way to Busch Gardens and Cars on the way home and he thought that was pretty cool. He didn't utter a peep either way, which is quite unusual for the boy who never stops talking. That DVD player was worth every penny!

We've been busy getting ready for baby's arrival (in 2 months) so check back for more on our progress!
