We are Officially Ready

According to our Childbirth Prep instructor, we are all officially ready and capable to deliver a healthy baby into this world when the time shall come. We even have a certificate stating that very fact. I, on the other hand, am less confident in my ability. But we shall see when that time comes.

To celebrate our last night of class (thank goodness!), we had birthday cake and the dads led us in singing Happy Birthday to our babies. Hey ~ anything for cake!



Lucas thought it would be more memorable to hold our child through the men's stunning rendition of 'Happy Birthday to You'.


But I guess she had a little gas because he had to begin burping her half-way through.


We learned how to swaddle and burp our little plastic child.


But eventually dad got tired of the pictures.

(See what you have to look forward to, Lily Ann?)

At least baby was a willing participant in all pictures. I hope our child is this happy and quiet!
