Scheduled...Registered.

So it's official. Luke is scheduled to be delivered by C-Section on Wednesday, March 9. Five weeks from tomorrow.

And we're registered for our church baby shower. It was pretty funny registering for a second little boy who will be born in the same season as the son you already have. We hardly even looked at clothes. Skipped over the onesies and gowns all together. We registered for lots of

diapers, diaper rash cream, diaper genie refils, bottle nipples, pacifiers, wash cloths, hooded towels, etc. Stuff you use for a long time. The only big-ticket items we have are already taken care of. My parents bought us a new travel system a few months back, and Jenny's parents are giving us the video monitor system.

We also registered for a few items that we never got with Ben but could really use now that a second is on the way...like the scoop for bath toys. And the net for bath toys.

We limited our registry to Target but I think Jenny is going to pick a few things out at a local boutique. Ben enjoyed the experience immensely, and even scanned a few items with the gun. He's an amazingly good shopper when popcorn and sprite is involved.

Saturday morning Benjamin and I had a daddy-son date at the Zoo. Jenny was really needing to sew, and the weather was insanely perfect for an outing, so I just decided to throw him in the car and head to Little Rock.

Riding the train...always a favorite experience.

I'll have to admit that I have been a little disappointed at the zoo the past six months. They have been advertising the Penguin Exhibit for what seems like well over a year, but still no Penguins. Oh well. I think we will always be Zoo members. It's just such a great thing to do with little to no notice, and it definitely pays for itself within about two trips.

It's crazy how far we have come from the days of pushing his stroller and holding him up and trying to point out the animals. Now he's running through the zoo non-stop and spotting them at amazingly long distances, naming them all...it's just crazy.

We are so blessed to have another baby on the way, and to be able to re-live all of these firsts with our Luke.

Have a good week...
