getting ready. . . for surreal things

Zeb and i are now counting down the months until the baby's arrival. pretty soon that will turn into weeks and then days! thankfully, we're still just at months- 3 left. it's now time to start getting our house ready. last weekend we got our crib- i'll post picks when we assemble it. and now we're starting on our registry. yesterday i made my first, and probably not the last, trip to Babies "R" Us. It was very surreal at first. I had never heard of this place until now. However, I did feel quite at home with all of the other preggo bellies running around the store! We ended up spending two hours just browsing. I've been doing my research and wanted a chance to see all of the recommended items in person. It was kind of fun. I was able to practice a little with the travel system (stroller, infant carrier, and car base) that we'll get. I'm not that great!! I just picture our baby being jostled around while I'm trying to snap the carrier into the base! I bet after a month zeb and i will both be pros though!

The start of the surreal event:

Here's some shots of a future mom and her stroller:

I'm really starting to feel like a mom. Very Surreal.

Here are some pics from last weekend. Cade went to prom and on Sunday Zeb and I went bowling.

He was being sympathetic of my belly.

love, erica

ps- zeb still hasn't heard what made him so sick in mexico but he is back to normal for the most part. thanks for your prayers!
