Atticus is on his way!

8 weeks until his due date! In between working and skiing, we have started putting the final touches on the nursery. We have a bit more work to do, but almost there! Preparing for your first baby is an amazing experience. The first time we walked into Babies R Us, we freaked out. We had no idea what to register for, what babies need in the first few weeks, months, year?! Totally in the dark. We ran in to our friends, Kate and Steve DeHoff, and they helped us out a ton! After that, we started reading, took an "Unmedicated Child Birth" class, and asked friends and family a lot of questions. The education was good for us. Although we understand that there are a lot of wonderful surprises ahead of us, we feel prepared and are anxiously awaiting Atticus's arrival. Adrienne's pregnancy has been a dream. There has been no morning sickness, no issues, she has been able to work out throughout, ski 20+ days, and live life without a hitch. It has been a blessing and something we are very grateful for! We'll keep up with this blog, highlighting our adventures and keeping anyone interested up-to-date. This way we don't have to inundate the facebook world with our family life. We are looking forward to this new chapter and all of the adventures it is sure to bring! Anyone out there ever gone backpacking into the wilderness with an infant? Attached are some pics of the nursery. It's coming along.
