Expanding the Family

The news is out there: Our second baby arrives in July.

Things have gone well so far! We’ve joined a second Centering group, which is a way to do your OB appointments alongside some guidance and discussion with people who are in similar stages of pregnancy.

Preparing for a second is different, because the question of whether we can do it at all has been answered. But now we have to fit second baby into an existing childcare routine, including sleeping arrangements. So that’s what occupies my time considering Second Baby.

Oh, and trying to decide on a name.
