Sexy Nerd and I drove up to Colorado recently to visit his family. While there, we looked forward to/dreaded meeting our brand-new niece, Aria.
Confused?
Sexy Nerd and I have decided that our best strategy is to be on the "2 year plan" for having a baby. Technically, there are only 20 months left on our time line, but calling it anything shorter than 2 years freaks me out! There are just so many things to learn and prepare for before having a baby. I've already memorized Dr. Karp's 5 Techniques for calming babies and am currently reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child (surprisingly, this book also offers insight into my own lifetime of poor sleep.) Really, it doesn't do you any good to read some life changing piece of advice for 5 month olds when your baby is 6 months, right? By then, you've already screwed them up, leaving them destined for a life of drugs, crime, and never moving out of the house!
Sexy Nerd and I agree that the 2 year plan is definitely the way to go. Key word *agree*. Somehow, after reviewing my photos from the weekend, I'm less convinced that we're on the same page.
Could Sexy Nerd look any freaking happier?!
As for yours truly, I decided to ham it up as soon as the camera was on.
Problem? My completely serious, ham-free photos are even worse!

Babies are SCARY!
She's trying to win me over with her extreme cuteness, but I..Must...Resist

You can totally see the concern in her little eyes.
I don't remember making this face!!
Anyone else agree that a 3 year plan might be a better way to go?

Now that I have a post about babies, BlogHer is running more baby-focused ads on my blog. I'm doomed!
