These onesies were sent to Graham by one of his grandmothers. So cute! Graham's initials are G.R.R. and daddy is very into English football.


This one I grabbed from Etsy! eggagogo

I am getting so anxious to meet our son! I wonder what he's thinking right now? Pretty soon he'll have a birthday. Pretty soon we'll know if it was raining when he was born or whether he's born in the middle of the day or the middle of the night. All we can hope for is healthy, healthy, healthy. It's tough being so out of control of so many things. Never before have I felt my sail so steered by others.
