Well we are now less than 15 weeks away from the arrival of the little buddy and we are getting pretty excited. While I am shopping for crib bedding and necessity items such as car seats, strollers, pack-in-plays, and the like...my husband is shopping for other things, like stuffed animals and bible puppets. Yes today, he said "honey, come in here" referring to the study. So I waddled into the study only to find him looking at a new stuffed animal website. Yes that is right, Ben is surfing for stuffed animals for the little guy. I say to him, "honey (that is apparently all we call each other), I love that you are trying to get ready for the baby, but seriously more stuffed animals?" To which he replies, "the little guy has to have a jungle!" To which I retort, "honey, you have all ready bought him a jungle's worth of stuffed animals...let me show you." So I run to the future baby room (which is still full of Ben's stuff too...could be mistaken for baby stuff though) and pull out this huge target sack full of stuffed animals that Ben has been collecting since we found out we were pregnant. Seriously, the day after we found out, Ben was at target purchasing the first of many stuffed creatures. I lay them out on the ground to prove to Ben that little buddy already has his very own menagerie, but Ben says, "is that all...I thought I had gotten more." So needless to say a few more stuffed animals are on their way.
Here is the proof...count them 16!! Yes there is a whole section for star wars stuffed animals...ridiculous!
The funniest thing though is the puppet website Ben was visiting. Seriously, he said "I've always wanted to be a puppeter, now's my chance." On this obscure website they had a whole section devoted to bible character puppets...lets just say i had no idea that John the Baptist looked like a Neanderthal. Guess I should have known with the whole camel hair and locust thing. Let's just say I don't think little buddy has any bible character puppets waiting in his future if I have anything to do with it. Check out the site http://www.thepuppetstore.com/.
John the baptist or as Ben calls him "J to the B"

Ok, the big YODA is cracking me up. Seriously. Good thing is, that the pups will love baby B's new toys.
You look precious too, friend. You just let him know that whenever he's ready to let me feel him kick, I am ready.
Your husband is like my husband...a big kid at heart! And, you will ABSOLUTELY love this when the baby's here. I swear, he and Ryan are on the same level sometimes. :)
