The Big Bump

A few weekends ago, my friend Bridget came out for the night and brought her camera gear to get some shots of the belly. We had a great weekend eating Chinese, getting pedis, and catching up. Here are some shots of the belly at 8 months.

Thank you Bridget!

Three Years

Three years ago today, I married my best friend. It was a bizarrely warm and sunny April weekend and was the most perfect, beautiful and special day of my life. I was so happy and relaxed and as seen in almost all of our wedding photos, I had a permanent, giddy smile on my face the whole day. Three years later, I am more in love with B than I ever thought possible. He still gives me butterflies when he walks into a room, makes me laugh until my stomach hurts and makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Happy Anniversary B. I love you all the way.

3 Weeks, 21 days, 504 hours...

It's exactly 3 weeks until Luke's due date and I am getting impatient. I am SO ready to meet the little man and see what he looks like, what his personality is like, find out if he'll be a good sleeper like his mama or an insomniac like his dad (eeeek). The belly is now at full capacity and standing for more than 30 minutes gives me kankles. Thankfully I have only one more week of work left until my 15 week maternity leave starts and I have my sister coming out next weekend and staying for almost a week to help stave off the boredom and keep me entertained.

During her visit I envision several local lunch dates downtown, stockpiling our Netflix queue with a handful of missed seasons of Mad Men, Dexter and Weeds and eating plate after plate of her delicious homemade eggplant parmesan, spanakopita and cheesy bread.
