The time for Bella to get here is getting closer and closer. Reality is setting in more & more with every "pre-birth event" that passes. And apparently, I'm striving for cheesier and cheesier titles to these posts.
This past week, we had our final 2 baby showers. One with my co-workers (and a couple of former co-workers...one who will be mentioning me one day in her first Oscar acceptance speech) and one with the church folks. After wrapping all of the showers up, this child has more clothes than she could possibly wear before she outgrows them. In no way is that a complaint...I'm very happy and feel very blessed that we know that many people that care enough to give us (I mean Bella) a gift. Now we're running out to Babies-R-Us & Target to stock up on the few things we have to get before she gets here.
As all of these events come and go, that "I'm excited but don't know what to expect" kind of feeling sets in. Sad to equate it to this, but the closest thing I can think of is that it feels like the week leading up to a big game. You have some idea of what's going to happen due to practicing and preparing for the other team, but until it unfolds in front of your eyes, you really can't expect anything except a whole lot of butterflies before the start of the game.
In other baby related news...the Brawner twins are here. Much to my disappointment, they weren't named "Luke & Leia". However, Marc & Lorie came up with some pretty good names, Katherine "Kate" Alexandria & Joseph "Joey" Clark. Everyone's doing well, the babies were 5 & 7 pounds, Lorie is doing well, and Marc is at least holding up well enough to send me an email afterwards (however, he could have sent that email just before passing out for all I know).

It always comes back to football. Everything boils down to . . . "it like football . . ."
