Okay, so the days are quickly ticking away... 16 days until Baby #2 is supposed to grace us with his/her presence (June 19th). Thought we'd have some fun and take all of your guesses for when the baby will actually arrive.
If you want to play along, put your guess in the comment section. Make sure you include:
-what day you think baby #2 will arrive
-length/weight
-boy or girl
A little background info:
-Meghan was born 6 days early (on June 23rd)
-she weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long
Happy Guessing!

Visiting Kevin's Alma Mater
(These pictures are a little bit older, but we wanted to share them with you all.)
Right after we moved up to North Carolina we spent the weekend in Chapel Hill. It was "Alumni Rugby Weekend" so Kevin had a chance to catch up with some old friends from college. The weather was beautiful... much warmer than we had planned. We watched the game then walked around campus. We even bought Meghan some UNC gear, a Carolina blue dress and matching UNC flip flops. It was the same weekend as the NCAA basketball finals. Kevin celebrated with the crowd that flooded Franklin Street. Stacy and Meghan were (happily) asleep back at the hotel. Of course, that was also the night that Meghan flipped herself out of the crib at the hotel, so she was sleeping in the bed with Stacy. Kevin got to sleep in the other bed by himself.
The next day we met up with Kevin's good friend from high school, Karen, and her family. We went to an amazing public park in Cary, NC and let the kids run free for about 4 hours while the adults did their best to catch up on the past 10 years. (Maybe not quite that many, but pretty close.)

Meghan's Dancing Moves
We all know Meghan likes to dance. (Just see the video from our trip to Florida last year for Meghan's birthday. Its one of the older blog entries.) Here is a clip from some of her newer dance moves.

Less than 7 weeks...
It's already May! Kevin is staying busy at his new job and Stacy & Meghan are busy exploring new playgrounds nearby. Not too much going on otherwise. The nursery is coming together... Meghan has been sleeping in her "big girl bed" for almost a month now and the crib is all set in the baby's room. Diapers have been bought (we forgot how little newborn diapers are!! They fit on Meghan's stuffed animals.) We have to go through Meghan's newborn clothes and take out the "gender neutral" onesies to wash yet.
Here are some recent pictures for you to enjoy.

Safe and Sound in NC
After a very long week, we are all moved in to our new house in North Carolina. We were fortunate to get one of the newly renovated houses on base, conveniently located about 1.5 miles from Kevin's work, about 3 miles from the grocery store, and maybe 5 miles from the grocery store.
Kevin's younger brother Jason drove down to South Carolina last weekend to visit with us and help Kevin pack the moving truck. The plan was to get on the road Tuesday morning for the 6 hour drive to our new house in North Carolina. Kevin started out ahead of Stacy since his 22 foot moving truck topped off at 70 mph. Stacy and Meghan started out about 30 minutes later. Everyone was making good time. Stacy actually passed Kevin and was about 30 minutes ahead of him when the VW broke down.
On I-95.
Somewhere in SC.
With Meghan in the car.
We were fortunate to get a quick tow to a small garage in the town of Manning, SC. Meghan had fallen asleep while waiting for the tow truck. We moved her- still asleep and still in her car seat- to the cab of Kevin's moving truck while Stacy rode in the tow truck. We spent the night at a nearby hotel while the garage waited in parts for the car.
The next day we tried to waste as much time as possible waiting for the car to be fixed. Jason drove up to meet us in Manning, SC to help in case Stacy's car couldn't be fixed. The part was supposed to be in by 2 PM so everyone got lunch and hung out near the garage. Kevin got on the road around 2:30 in the moving truck while Stacy, Meghan and Jason waited for the part to arrive.
At 4:00, the garage notified us that "they ordered the correct part, but the wrong part arrived." Oh by the way, the earliest they could get the correct part would be Friday. So, we loaded everything from Stacy's car into Jason's Jeep Cherokee and started the rest of our trip north.
Kevin got to the house around 8PM and started unloading boxes. Jason, Stacy & Meghan arrived about 10 PM. The boys unloaded the rest of the furniture while Stacy tried to get Meghan to bed.
It was a very long week. We started unpacking some of the boxes, but most will just have to wait until next week when we all have a little more energy.
On a good note, the part did arrive at the garage down in SC and Stacy's VW is finally fixed!

Hilton Head Adventures
We took Meghan out on her first kayaking trip. She loved it! Kevin had her in his double kayak. Once we got over the fear of her falling out we all enjoyed it a little bit more. She loved to feel the water on her fingers. She definitely enjoyed sitting back while Kevin did all the work. Michelle and Stacy had their own kayaks... they spent most of the trip trying to not get beached because it was so shallow. On our way back in, the wind kept pushing us near the piers. Stacy may have even run into a pier or two. (It was just one!)
The following weekend Michelle talked everyone into running a 5k (3.2 miles) on Hilton Head Island for St. Patrick's Day. Kevin pushed Meghan in the jogging stroller alongside Stacy. (We walked it. Not much running for Stacy these days.) Towards the end Meghan started to get a little antsy so Kevin jogged a little, pushing her around in circles. When they got back to Stacy, Meghan turned and said "Faster Mommy! Faster!"
Stacy's Growing Belly
Stacy is now 27 weeks along... 13 to go! Baby #2 is already feeling the effects of being the second child. We haven't been the most diligent in taking pictures of Stacy's growing belly. She is feeling good, albeit BIG.
