Heartbeat 170 bps

Here we go again! I heard a sweet little heartbeat today for the first time, and felt like "this is real." So, woo-hoo! Baby Rawlins #3 is due to enter this world on April 30th, 2010. Perfect timing. Pace is a pro at working childbirth in between his hectic finals... why not shoot for that again this time around? His finals start May 1st and Drew was a week late... You do the math! :)

We are thrilled though, as you can imagine. This baby will be wonderful as either a girl or a boy. A girl- hooray! She'll be born in the same season as Sydney (4/14/06), and we have all those lovely clothes saved! A boy- great! He and Drew will be bosom buddies, only 18 months apart (right Michele?), and can play together :) Plus, I wouldn't need to fuss about getting new "girl" bedding for the crib. Either way, we're super excited.

To prepare for baby #3, I thought, rather then invest in a second crib (nesting starts early in this household, especially with my family coming to see us for Thanksgiving, we hope!!) I'd find cute bunk beds that can be used as twin, non-bunk beds while the kids are young. The guard rails will keep Drew in safe... And here's what we found!

We love them, first for the price (even cheaper with the discount Pace found online), and second, the customer reviews gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars!! They all raved about the beds. The boxes just arrived to today, I can't wait to set them up in Sydney's room!
