No, we haven't figured out a theme for the nursery or picked out names. We haven't set up a registry or started knitting booties.
We've been getting ready for baby in all the non-cute ways. My hubby, thankfully, is taking the lead on this.
We have:
*figured out health insurance (I'm switching over to his)
*bought life insurance
*started thinking about drawing up our wills
*explored 529s (college funds...we might divert some of our 2007 401k investments this way)
*scheduled graduate school courses for the Spring semester with professors who will work around my due date
*started planning child care options
Odd that people don't ask me about these kinds of issues when they want to talk about getting ready for baby!

still to pick out names?!? that should be over once you realized that there is nothing better than Broccoli Sawatzki! It's not even gender-specific.
