Dad's Commentary: We've been busy preparing for baby's arrival! The nursery is progressing well. Just a few more pieces of furnitures still need to be built, and we are having a ceiling fan installed. My mom and dad will be visiting later this month to help paint and do some finishing touches!

We have also started our new parent classes. We've been learning plenty about exercises to help during labor, breastfeeding, and how to take care of a baby.

Choosing names has been a challenge, but we'll get there!
