It's About Time?

Be honest, have you wondered, "When are those Maldens going to get back to their baby makin'?" Well, wonder no more. The baby makin' is in full force and has been for the past 18 weeks. We're expecting this beautiful* bundle at the end of July (*note the usage of the more feminine adjective beautiful as opposed to handsome...that's to imply we're having a GIRL, which, in fact ,we are!):
This is how we shared the news with our families when we were visiting them in CA around the holidays:
We are so excited for "baby sister" to be on her way. Bryn talks about the baby in Mommy's tummy all the time, and has decided that we should name her The Gruffalo. She loves that book, so although it is the name of a monster, I'm choosing to interpret her name suggestion as a transfer of her affection for the book to the baby. :)
