What we have been up to

So once again I am feeling guilty for my lack of posting.  We have just been working away on school and work things.  Aaron is currently on his OBGYN rotation at the U.  Although I don't think it is really his calling in life (meaning he doesn't really love it), I think it has been a good experience for him to see babies being born and has made what I am going through and the fact we are going to be parents a little more real to him.  According to Aaron OB is the wettest thing he has ever seen due to all the bodily fluids.  I just have to laugh.  

I have just been working like mad to finish up a paper and most of the rest of another research project before my advisor leaves for almost a month in May.  It has been a little stressful but the more I get done now, the less I will be pressured after the baby is born.  

Other than the school/work thing, we moved into a new apartment in the same court as our old one.  We figured that after 4.5 years of marriage and with a baby on the way a little extra room may be nice.  Turns out we were right.  Although the extra room is nice, the best thing has to be the fact that our water actually gets above a luke warm temperature.  You don't realize how great a warm shower is until you don't really have one for 2.5 years.  We are pretty much just trying to prepare for our baby boy in August, which is more like procrastinating the preparation.  Every time I go into a store like BabiesRUs I feel so overwhelmed I practically get hives.  Wipe warmers, bouncers, swings, diapers, bottles, bedding, furniture, clothing... who knew something so small supposedly needs so many things.  If any of you have advice on what I actually do need please let me know.  Somehow I think our baby will survive if his butt gets cold because his baby wipes haven't been warmed.  Maybe I am wrong though.
