We are finally full term with Baby #2!!! The name is still to be decided, but we have some very good options, so I'm sure her name will be as beautiful as she is. I am very excited to finally meet her, but a little weary of the impending labor. My pregnancy has been wonderful, so no complaints there...but I'm starting to get more contractions with each day. My parents are arriving tomorrow (on their motorcycle all the way from Kansas!), which we are very excited about so that someone will be entertaining Jonathan while Mike and I are busy with the new little one. I meet with the midwife again in 2 days (on Tues) and my last day of work is on Wednesday. I'll be sad to stop working, but I'll be happy to be close to home during this final stretch. The people at work threw me an amazing surprise baby shower which was just so touching and so sweet. All of the gifts were really personal (with Mike as an accomplice!) and thoughtful. I will definitely miss it there during my leave.
We are almost done with the preparations for the new baby and you will see in the pictures that Jonathan has been very helpful in setting everything up :)
We loved having Uncles Mike and Matt this weekend and we all went to Billing's Farm to see the sheep shearing and had some maple ice cream.
Here is an adorable video of Mike and Jonathan's rendition of "If You're Happy And You Know It".

Soccer!
(please click on the title "Soccer!" above to see all the pics)
We finished off April with some soccer fun. Mike's indoor soccer league won the championship match last week, and Jonathan got his very first soccer ball to kick around. As the weather's getting nicer, we are enjoying much more time outside together. This will be our last month as a trio, and we are anxiously anticipating the arrival of our new family member. Now if we could only pick a name! Next weekend we are headed for some fun with Idan and Amy in Boston which we are very excited about. Jonathan is growing so quickly...he understands almost everything we ask him and his vocabulary is increasing daily. He loves running to Mike when he arrives from work, he says "bye-bye dadda, bye-bye mamma", and he comes for kisses when he hurts himself. He loves his baths so much that just about after every meal, he says "bath", requesting to be bathed (which we routinely only do after dinner). The newest excitement is all about airplanes...anytime he hears a loud noise, he points to the sky and shouts "aypayne" over and over again until we either find it or the noise goes away. Another cute thing he does is lifting my shirt and pointing to my belly and saying "baby" (accompanied by a kiss), and then he'll do the same to Mike's belly :)
