Lucy Smith Van Nostrand

What am amazing little girl! With Papa's temperment and Mommy's good looks, she is one incredible lady. Here is a link to our flickr photostream for a bunch of 1st days pictures. We'll add a longer description of everything that happened in the next day or so, but we know you all want pictures, so here you go!

jess junior

We've barely discussed the name. The working title, jess junior, has seemed so right for the belly time. We lean towards Lucy, consider Ella, and J loves Alex. I think they are all cute and charming and wonderful, but I'm probably instilling qualities I've already given my little one to the name contenders.

the last week

The due date is the 22nd, although it could be any day now or three weeks from now. So far, Jess has had a wonderful pregnancy. Some back pain a few months ago, but otherwise she's been truly amazing. She still swims! Her new favorite joke:

J: Did you work out today?
M: No..ermmm (hemming and hawwing)....no.
J: I did, and i am almost 9 months pregnant!

I hope jess junior has the same sense of humor and drive.
