But with winter weather, comes the winter wardrobe. Unfortunately, though, your Mom's winter pea coat, which usually envelops her, and could do so twice over, hardly buttons around her belly. It is dangerously close to what your Pops coined as the forced-casual look.
In fact, over the weekend your Mother postulated that she might have one more week before the jacket simply would not close around her. At that point, though, I will donate my jacket to the cause. By the time she outgrows that, we hope it will be Spring though.
But not to worry, we'll keep the bump (that's you) nice and warm and cozy.
You'll also be warm and cozy in your nursery too. And now that the basics of the nursery are down, we're talking decorations.
Your Mom wants to decorate your nursery (or at least one wall of it ) with illustrations of animals from Classic children's books.
As part of our continuing effort to pre-natally communicate with you daily, we were reading Shel Silverstein's "Lafcadio: The Lion Who Shot Back" out loud to you last night. It was a good book. When you understand English we'll read it to you again.
After we read, we brainstormed about other characters for your nursery, and here's who else you may be seeing:
George, Curious.
Lion, Cowardly.
Manic Depressive Donkey
Crocodile, Lyle, Lyle
Caterpillar, Hungry, Hungry
Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Babar
Sylvester (of the Magic Pebble Situation)
And the Petit Prince's Fox 
...but that's just to name a few.
How is this all going to work together in a cohesive design? I have no idea. That's not my department. But I do know that you're going to love your nursery (or at least we will), and that you'll be sound and snug in your new home. In fact, I'm going to go ahead and promise you that you'll be even more snug than your mother's winter jacket!
