Over halfway there...

(Guest blogger again! Alan's turn today)

As we write this, we are 20 1/2 weeks along, and each little one is the size of a banana (according to our 'What to Expect' apps). We have gone from grapes, to olives, to mangoes, and now bananas... considering I hate fruits and vegetables, I've made an exception this time!

All is well around the world in Mumbai. We got treated to a photo of Zarina, who is looking and feeling great:



As for us, we've been very busy getting ourselves ready. We spent hours (definitely plural)  registering today for most of what we need. For those of you who've had the pleasure you can empathize - about 10 minutes in we realized how long the day was going to be, but thankfully we had Lynne and Matt (my sister and brother-in-law) with us for the first part to help with some big decisions. Together with our Baby Bargains book, advice from many of you, and common sense, we think we did pretty well.

For those of you who've been asking, we're registered at Buy Buy Baby: www.buybuybaby.com. In store you can use the 20% off coupons from Bed, Bath & Beyond as long as they haven't expired. It's a great place - but we were happy to leave there this afternoon!

The rest of the month will be extremely busy. Next weekend we're off to San Francisco to see my brother, sister-in-law, and our nephews for just a few days. The weekend after that, we take occupancy of our new place, and then the big move is right after that. No shortage of things to do around here.

Thanks as always for the good thoughts and for all your support. Stay tuned for more updates!
