I am trying to wrap my head around the fact that in less than a month, I will have another addition to the family to take care of. Why should I be scared, after all I have done this before, right? I feel like I have been out of the game for so long though and honestly I have. Kate is 5! The thought of going back to diapers, nursing, sleep schedules, etc. has me wondering if I am going to be able to make it. Obviously I will and I am excited to meet the little guy, but how will I weather is the question. I guess I will figure it out one way or another.
I have made some wonderful friends since I moved here to Portland and they threw a not so traditional but instead girls night out baby shower(the best kind!) for me. We went to Oba's to grab some dinner, a yummy restaurant in the Pearl. We sat and chatted and had a great time. They are the best!
Here we are picking out our Christmas tree just last week. I am at exactly one month to go. So does that mean I am 8 months or 9? I can't keep track. I feel like pregnancy is 10 months, so this pic of me makes me 9 months. Don't correct me, just agree with me...its easier and it makes me feel better. My sister in law has offered to take maternity pics of me, but for some reason I can't let her do it. Vain? Maybe...So these random shots will have to do.
And look who showed up for a couple days this past week! Justin had to give a presentation about a website he and a buddy from dental school have developed at Temple, and he took the kids with him to see Grandma and Grandpa. I of course couldn't go because of how far along I am but the kids are old enough that we thought it would be a fun trip away for them. So Val flew in for a couple days to keep me company. Having her here in Portland was so much fun. We shopped, ate, shopped, ate, shopped, ate, went to a movie, etc. It was such a treat and the best timing to have her come out before I take on three kids. I took her to a couple of my favorite eats and then we tried a couple eats I can't ever convince Justin to go to. This is a pic of us at the Waffle Window! So yummy!
Well you can tell that I am pregnant and like to eat with two pics both involving food! The countdown is on. I am done with this pregnancy thing, but also know it is easier in than out. So here's to hoping I deliver between Christmas and New Years!
