Cantaloupe

  The baby this week is over 6 inches long!  It's roughly the size of a cantaloupe.  Perhaps it's a small cantaloupe.  I don't know.

  We're over halfway there!  It's hard to believe some days that there will be a baby in our lives in a few short months.  We still have much to do to get the house ready, but I think that our minds are starting to be prepared for it.  Seeing the ultrasound last week made a huge difference, I think.  Being able to see him move his arms and feet, watching him wriggle around, brought home the reality of this baby.  Rachel's starting to get bigger and bigger, so that, too, helps prepare us for the baby. Perhaps it is fitting that as his skeleton hardens, as the bone hardens from their previous, more rubbery state, the reality of the baby hardens in our lives.

  What will change?

  Just everything.

  And we're thrilled about it!
