Saturday will mark 10 weeks from our official due date of August 2nd (which nobody has guessed, yet*). It is amazing how fast this pregnancy has gone by. The realization that we will be parents in less than 3 months is almost equally exciting and overwhelming. We have a long "to do before Pip arrives" list, most of which probably won't get accomplished (knowing us). I'm told the baby will arrive when it is ready, regardless of whether we feel completely prepared. From the beginning, we have been quite confident that we can produce a child with an excellent sense of humor, if nothing else. It will certainly need one in our house.
Brianne and the Baby are doing fine. The little one is gaining a quarter to a half pound each week, and Brie's belly is accommodating well. She looks great. Below is a mix of pictures (including a couple from Mother's Day). Please keep the guesses coming either by email to either of us or as comments below. Thanks for your interest and support.
*Update - my dad couldn't resist the ease of guessing the due date after reading this
Both potential children decided to give very stereotypical Mother's Day gifts.
I jokingly told Brie she could only open one of the presents. She grabbed the pink one faster than I could tell her I was kidding.
The Baby gave several books, with requests that we read to it. Included was Zen Shorts (a Caldecott Honor winner), showing off the baby's refined Leggat taste in books.
Armed with everything we need for Birth Class.
Who looks more excited to be going? Who is carrying everything (except the most important thing)?
Auntie Shelle is not afraid to back her guess with cute bathing suits.
Still got a little growing to do

Nama Johnson will stick with her original premonition that the gender is a boy. Date of arrival Aug 6 at 4:56am,19 inches long and weighing 6lb 9oz. My prior predictions with my first two grandchildren were correct - never having to return a single article of clothing. I hope this baby won't let me down because there is nothing pink in his end of the closet!
Dapa Johnson doesn't understand why nobody has picked the due date. He says it will be a boy on August 2nd, 6:01 AM (just like him, he thinks), 19.25 inches, at 7 pounds, 5 ounces.
Cute dress, Brie!
Here's my guess -- July 30 (early!) and a girl. I am willing to bet on this.
And I know she wouldn't dare steal my birthday...
