I am wondering what you all think:). My due date is in less than a week away now. Of course this little one will come in God's perfect timing, but just for the fun of it what do you think? A girl or boy? And, what day/time do you think he or she will be born? :) 
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139 13:14cff
My sweet baby is growing so fast! He turned five months yesterday:). Here he is the first time he sat up by himself a few weeks ago.
"I want to see little children adorning every home as flowers adorn every meadow and every wayside. I want to see them welcomed to the homes they enter, to see their parents grow less and less selfish and more and more loving because they have come. I want to see God's precious gifts accepted, not frowned upon and refused.~Elizabeth Prentiss
William Alan, a few hours old.
Back at our house a few hours later. This is my favorite picture of the day:). Our new family of four. Abigail was so excited to meet her little brother, it was precious to watch her!
I have seen so many great reviews about the Bumbo chair that I thought I would go ahead and order one. With our first little one I didn't have anything that she really liked to sit up in that would support her well (other then a baby swing and her car seat). So, I am looking forward to trying the Bumbo seat out. It can be used after the baby has good head control. I will have to see how it goes:). I like the fact that it's so portable.
Another item I wanted to try this time around is a moses basket. I was a bit frustrated when trying to find one here in Canada that had good reviews and was not too pricey, but I finally settled on one from Sears like the one above (without the stand). I am planning on using it for the first few months inside our baby crib which we have right next to the bed. Abigail also uses the crib (part of the night anyway:)) so I think the basket will be helpful. I also plan on using it around the house so the baby can nap close to me.
I also wanted to try using a nursing cover that has a ridged neckline which allows the Mother to see her baby. I bought one from Wal-Mart with Abby and never did use it much as it didn't allow me to see her and it felt like she wasn't getting enough air.
For all the other Mom's out there: What are some favorite baby items that you have found helpful?
"As the years go by, you forget the bad parts. Or at least you put them in perspective as unimportant. Before you know it, you're wishing you had a baby around again. But be careful not to wish you life away.
When the little one is done eating, you can turn the chair onto 
Or, if you turn it the other way it becomes a child's desk:).
