Baby Meckley

Like I posted recently below, Josh and I found out around Christmas time that we are going to be a first-time Aunt and Uncle, courtesy of Andy and Laura. When we first found out I was on a scale of 1-10 excited, a 6. I've really only had baby cousins around, and I don't see them nearly as much as I'd like, and Josh felt the same. I wasn't really sure what to think. However, after seeing more pictures, and especially pictures where Baby M looks more like a baby and less like a "blob", the excitement has grown by leaps and bounds. Laura posted a video from her latest ultrasound of Baby M "jumping" around in there. Josh and I sat on the couch and watched it 4 or 5 times, it was just the greatest thing ever.

Since then I've been shopping around Baby Pottery Barn, The Children's Place, and a few other sites. It also helps that recently there was a baby shower at work for two girls, one having a boy and one having a girl. So I got to wander around Target for a while, and after being really nervous the first 15 minutes, the other 45 minutes I wandered around the baby section I got to look at all the really neat things they offer. Like a pacifier that tells you the temperature - how genious! So while I (im)patiently wait to hear whether I can start buying pink or blue clothes, it has been pretty fun looking at all the great things I can spoil Baby M with!



Baby M at 12 weeks. (I still think it's a girl :))
