And with the 27th Week...

Comes the belly shot. Mind you, I have been asked (almost daily) if I am due soon or if I am having twins. Neither are true, so shut the traps. Kay? Modeling the shirt I made for Halloween (and looking super stupid doing so):

3rd Trimester!

Holy Cow, that was fast! Actually, the first 16 weeks seemed to drag on FOREVER. Mostly because of the incessant puking but once we knew that "it" was a she and her name was Erin, things went to warp speed. And I know, in no time, we will be holding her tiny (here is to hoping) little body in our hands, gazing at her and wishing for sleep. We have a lot to finish in these next couple of months. So much that we actually need to make a list. The nursery is the first that needs to be done. So that will be sealed and painted soon. Then, Uncle Linn was nice enough to find us carpet for her room for a GREAT deal ($34). So that will go in after the paint has dried. We are excited to get this stuff done.

Pumpkin Hunting!

Last night we went out on the annual pumpkin patch tour. It was a little cooler here in Florida, not like the briskness some of you are feeling, but cool for Florida. I am thinking in the lower 70's. Here are some pics. I will apologize in advance that I, nor my big ol' belly are in any of the pics. Those pics were taken but I am feeling quite Shamu-like and it was what I saw in the pics so I won't go there. So sorry.
Ryan ran right from the van and said, "It's pumpkins!"

Then he picked one.

Then he proceeded to walk, well run, up and down every aisle. I'd say he must have lapped the patch maybe 20 times. This is at 7:30pm with no nap. His energy astounds me.

Open Wide!

And I don't mean that in the yucky OB/GYN terms. Tomorrow I say farewell to teeth number's 4 and 30. Thank you for hanging with me all these years. Sorry our relationship has to be cut short but you are causing me way too much pain to keep you around any longer. So, think of me, iPod in hand, at the oral surgeon tomorrow having these 2 guys extracted at 9:30 a.m.. I.am.so.excited.

99 days?!?!?!?!

Wha-wha-whatttttt? Where has the time gone? I am in double digits now. And my visit to the OB Friday brought my first weight gain. I wanted to cry but I guess 5 lbs in over 6 months isn't so bad.
