Lookee!

I know...two posts in two days... what's going on? :)

But I had to share some of the pictures that my good friend Nissa took for us. As you can see, she is a wonderful photographer. (If you click on the picture, it should open up larger. I think all the pictures I've posted so far should do that.... )

Me in our back yard.



In the nursery.


Then and now.

Our first family portrait :)


I think this one is my favorite.
Thank you, Nissa! You are, as the kids say these days, the bomb!

It's been awhile, but, yup, still (VERY) pregnant!

Hi, everyone! Sorry it's been so long. Things have been c-r-a-z-y as we've been getting ready for Sprout's arrival. The playroom is done (woot!), the nursery is getting there, our guest bathroom is almost completely retiled and it looks awesome, we're refinishing a dresser... Lots going on.

For those of you who are squeamish, and/or don't want to know about cervixes (cervixii??), skip to the next part :) At my last visit (37 weeks), I was one centimeter dilated, which was a distinct change from the NOTHING that was happening the week before that. I have another visit on Friday, when I'll be 38 weeks 1 day.

My doctor said that I could go "anytime" which is frightening. We've got so much to do that I'm half afraid she'll decide to make an appearance before we're done with the major stuff. The other half is afraid that she'll decide it's so cozy in there she'll NEVER come out!

At any rate, here are a few pictures...

Me at 35 weeks exactly.

This was taken the very next day, because someone at work told me I had dropped a little, but I don't think so...

This was taken at 37 weeks and 1 day (yep - same dress, but my options are very limited now...) Still don't think I've dropped any.
Getting very close now. Getting very nervous. But VERY excited.
Love to you all from our soon-to-be family of three!
