a couple baby bump pics

okay, day three of jamie in new hampshire. boo!

today i took the dogs up their favorite trail, shirley lake. the dogs were siiiiiked...and they loved the ride in mommy's new car! they told me they feel much safer :) and way cooler too. maybe it was a little too steep for me, i walked as slow as molasses.here are a couple preggo pics from facebook:

the above image is pretty old, i think from july. as you can see, belly was already making me completely off-balance, so i had to sit down!!

here's alyssa and i at my house in maine...her second's in there, and she very well could be birthing him/her as we speak!!

here are jamie and i and the lovely ladies of queechy lake. they threw us a surprise little baby shower, and it was awesome.

i picked up some paint for the nursery today...i've been painting all the trim white. don't be worried for me though, i use benjamin moore's completely 0% VOC line, natura. and i ventilate. don't worry :)

the most exciting part of my day was when i got the CUTEST bag ever in the mail. i ordered a bag to use as a diaper bag from etsy.com and saved a bundle! you know, i am just not falling for all those overpriced diaper bags on the market!

it's so fun prepping for baby. i just can't wait for her to get here! i do feel HUGE today, probably from all the food i ate at the thai restaurant with duncan. holy drunken noodles!! i can't believe this thing is just going to keep getting bigger!

today was also a little sad for me. it was day 6 of my fall semester at academy of art university...and after a long talk with family and my advisor yesterday, i decided to withdraw from this semester. i know i made the right decision, it's just kind of sad, because i love  school, and i'm going to miss it. don't worry, i'll be back, probably for next summer semester. i was thrown for a loop, because my advisor told me 6 months ago that if i were to go into labor at the end of the semester, i would be granted an incomplete and could finish finals in the spring. apparently homegirl didn't do her research, and was notified by my professors that this is in fact NOT true. i just can't give AAU $$$$ and not be guranteed any flexibility. this baby and our family is the most important thing right now, so i am a little relieved that i won't be stressed out about finals and labor at the same time! thanks for listening...my goal of obtaining a masters is not going away...life is just full of too many wonderful things right now, and i have to balance them out.

we'd love to hear what you think of our blog, so feel free to comment on our posts! thanks for listening :)
