Waiting for Baby

We are so excited to meet the new addition to our family but are really enjoying these last few weeks with Caleb.  The room is ready, the bags are packed, the plans are set (as set as they can be not knowing the day or hour).  Julie's doctor told her that the "process is beginning" (dilation, etc)-So fun!

Caleb is so ready for his brother to arrive that he is obsessed with this baby doll that Mammy is letting us borrow.  He carries him around, sets him on the couch with "baby" type toys, wants to pray for baby (there is a difference in Caleb's baby and Mommy's baby and we pray for both), and our favorite is he will set the baby up and say "Baby, Watch this!" as Caleb runs to do some neat trick.  Caleb also loves seeing babies, pictures of babies, and hearing about when he was a baby.  We have had fun looking at old pictures when he was little and going through his baby book.  Here is a picture of Caleb, the naked baby-he changes clothes often but is typically naked, and a bowl of Christmas decorations Caleb thought were for the baby to play with.  (We pray often that Caleb learns to be gentle with his brother than he is with the baby, as well as being a good big brother, a leader to him, and that they would be great friends).

Here are a few fun pictures of us being silly.  Julie is 37+ weeks! 

Doesn't Julie's belly look fake in this picture? This is a picture of Craig asking her to "look confused with why she is pregnant."

We are so excited to meet this little guy and our loving/cherishing our last few moments with Caleb having our undivided attention!  We will keep you all posted for the any new news.
