Okay, now I just feel obscene. I mean, gross! I can’t even cover my belly with a maternity shirt. And check out my fat feet, especially the right one: For my last work shift (that is, most recent – I still have four to go!), I found some lace-up sneakers that I was able to… Continue reading Week 38 (Part 2)
Jan took some beautiful pictures last week and this weekend! And now I’m going to let everyone see my giant belly without being decently covered! I’m happy to have a record of it. 🙂 Sometime this week I plan to post a picture that says “38 weeks” on it, but the week’s not over yet… Continue reading Week 38
Compare with: And here’s today: This has become one of my go-to outfits! Compare with 29 weeks: Andrew and I have grown! I’ve really packed on the pounds — and the puffiness — in the past couple of weeks. I’m finally having Braxton-Hicks contractions (for the past week), especially when I’m being active — at… Continue reading Weeks 36 and 37
A.’s brother was here this weekend and they completed a few projects, including this planter, so we can plant some more stuff! Our plants and flowers are growing and blooming! Baker came over to play! Can you find them in the daylilies? Time for a rest… Back at it! Baker under the fallen plum branch:… Continue reading More Garden and Gifts, and Puppies
My due date ticker is finally counting down the days! This is at the very end of Week 35; I really consider myself to be at 36 weeks now. I’m officially 8 months pregnant and in one more week the baby will be considered full term! I wanted a picture of me in one of… Continue reading Week 35 (Part Two)
Well, I had some very busy shifts at work and am now in the middle of a few nights off, which is lovely! Only 13 more shifts before my maternity leave starts! It’s so hard to get breaks to eat (to feed the baby), and I’m worried about how I’ll find time to pump when… Continue reading Gifts and Garden in Week 35
So, we went on Portland’s monthly Midnight Mystery bike ride because a friend was leading it… It was fun! I would say there were at least 100 cyclists, maybe a lot more — enough to stretch as a big crowd over several blocks. We met at a bar and all gathered on our bikes and… Continue reading Week 34
Pics from Jan’s point-and-shoot at their new house: I’m all screwed up with my titles – technically at the beginning of this week I was at “33 weeks” and this is my 34th week and I should call it Week 34. But whatever. Also, I wish the ticker on the right would say how many… Continue reading Week 33
I have three pictures this week – I’m just loving the skirt weather! Also this pink shirt from the consignment store. I want to record every moment. 🙂 My hair is looking awfully shaggy, though, and I still have three weeks until my next appointment – it’s been growing so fast! Jan took this one… Continue reading Week 32
Several gifts arrived from A.’s parents and his grandma! His mom made sure we got this sweet penguin outfit before they were all gone: This wolf outfit is adorable, and some of the proceeds go to the Jane Goodall Institute: Organic bedding and a multipurpose waterproof pad: A portable changing pad for the diaper bag:… Continue reading More Baby Gifts!
