Baby Talk
I’ve been trying to avoid talking about baby, baby, baby all the time. That’s why I’m not blogging as often. Because all my thoughts right now are on baby so if I’m not going to write about that, I’m not going to write at all. It’s just “time” all the sudden and my planning is in high gear. But soon, hopefully, I’ll balance back out. I think. I hope. 
So, instead of trying to figure out something else to post about I’ll let you know what we’ve decided/done lately. Well. The more interesting of the things we’ve been doing anyway…
We have decided on how to contact everyone when we go to the hospital and when Asher is born. Keep your eye on the website and blogs. That’s where we plan to post the exciting news! We will also email updates to our “prayer partners” so if you’d like to be added to that list, let me know.
Other than that, among other decisions, we’ve been washing baby clothes and picking out what we need to have ready for him. Today I bought his coming home outfit. It’s blue and brown argyle in a sweater material. Very sweet but still very much boy.
This week is full of childbirth classes. Tonight is “positive parenting” where I guess we learn how to take care of the baby so I’m expecting information on how they should sleep (on their backs), how to bathe them, etc, etc, etc.
It’s been busy but I think we’re coming to the end of “preparing”. I hope so. I’m ready to just “wait”. I’ll get a lot more rest!

Dana,
I think God designed parents to think a lot about the baby, so no need to apologize about that! I remember a profound feeling of being “responsible” when Julia was born. My whole world shifted on its axis.
Please add me to your prayer partners. I’m already praying for Wycliffe Translators in Tanzania and might as well expand the scope of my prayers
