Here we are, family and friends. Only eight more weeks and this fragment of the Ruprecht family will include three bodies instead of just two! It continues to be a mind-blowing thought, but I like to believe we’re ready at this point.

To catch you all up, I’ve been growing a baby since the middle of July 2014. The pregnancy has really been a breeze (which I sometimes feel guilty about.) I mean, you know you’ve got it good when your worst complaints are that you sometimes run out of breath climbing three flights of stairs and going to the bathroom all the time is a slight inconvenience.

Steve and I decided early on that we were not going to find out the sex… and we’ve been successful! It will be a grand surprise come April 5 (or roundabout then.) Any guesses? Shoot them our way! All we know right now is that if it happens to be a boy, he will likely be nameless for a while. We can’t agree on labels for a male child. Maybe we’re just going to have to settle for Winky – the nickname that the tiny being has adopted in utero.

My goal is to keep the information coming so that you can all remain in the loop whether you live down the street or across the country. Content will likely be boring sometimes. And may occasionally contain too much information for those delicate readers out there. Sorry? You asked for it by following the blog.

Oh, and pictures. I really hope to feed you lots of pictures. They are more fun than boring text posts anyway, right? Right.
