Baby!

Z and I found out recently that we're expecting a fun new member of our family in June. Here's the belly (more of a roll at this point really) at 15 weeks:

Being me, I started looking for books that might explain what the heck I'm supposed to be doing. So far I've read The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, which was slightly traumatizing, and Belly Laughs. Some friends also suggested The Happiest Baby on the Block and What to Expect When You're Expecting, both of which are currently in my TBR pile. Any other suggestions of things I should read?

If I'm going to be totally honest, I would rather spend time looking at inspiration pictures of nurseries than reading. I'm thinking of doing some kind of hybrid between these three:

Since we're not going to find out whether we're having a boy or girl ahead of time, we need to do something gender neutral. Decorating isn't really my forte, so actual implementation of any of these ideas will be a major accomplishment.
