Kanga has started to sense that something is up: Aside from showing excitement over the new toys and gadgets entering the house, she now follows or sits by Lindsay constantly and lays her head on the belly. She's anxious to meet her brother!

28 + weeks!
Well, here we are, just about 11 weeks to go until Owen arrives! We are getting some last minute things done and finally feeling like the big day is just around the corner! We've started to pack the labor bag, make arrangements for Kanga, and put finishing touches on the nursery. Although it seems like it may be difficult without family near by, we have found that we have wonderful friends and "family" right here in NC. Many friends and co-workers have offered their assistance during labor and after the arrival of Owen. We couldn't feel more loved and supported than we do now. Owen is one lucky boy!

Before You Were Born
Hello, little Owen, you have yet to be born
But when you finally open your eyes to the world
You will realize all the wonders of being a boy
Everything is blue and soft and cuddly
Puppies are furry and creepy crawlies fit in your pocket
Dirty knees and muddy hands are unavoidable every day of the week
Daddy always has time to play or show you something new
Mommy will look at your fingerprints around the house
She won't see smudges-but kisses- reminding her of you
In the playground, find pigtails, pull one and run away
In the park, swing high, slide fast, put your hands in the air and laugh
On your first day of school, tie your shoelaces tight and have no fear
Make friends, be friendly and be true to your best friend
Love, find love and be lovely on Sundays
Dream, strive and don't let anyone ever hold you back
From baby to boy to teenager to man
Grow knowing you have family all over the country
Who adored you, little Owen, even before you were born
-Written by Owen's second cousin, Nicki.

What a weekend!
We had such a fun weekend with our family in Vermont! Sarah and Steve were married on Saturday, and then we had a baby shower on Sunday. It was a busy few days, but they were all great! Thank you to everyone who shared in the celebration of Owen and for all of his wonderful gifts! He will love them all!
