Sean went baby shopping (online), hope the baby likes slogan onesies. I know I sure do! Oh, and Sean got a new shirt too! Time is simply flying by these days! I just finished my research course, which was one of the big classes I was worried about doing before the baby comes. Now just two classes left, I can see the light! We are getting really excited about spending thanksgiving in Georgia, last time we were both down there things were so busy, so now it will be nice to hang out and relax with the family. Well, I think I am off to bed, still fighting a cold that doesn't seem to be getting any better!

I personally feel that I have the best looking pregnant husband out there! Here is just a small taste of what I like to call, casual pregnant Sean!

















We completed our birthing class, lots of practice needed I think.
Also included is what we will call birthing ball Meg!
New belly pictures to come soon I am sure, it is hard to remember to take pictures these days. However, as the pregnancy seems to be flying by, I am feeling more and more that we need to make sure to sit back and enjoy it before it is over!

Today...

Today I have the need of a car, but I chose sleep over driving to K.O.P. Sleep felt so good! Lately I fall asleep all the time, so it is amazing that I still can sleep until 10am on my days off. Todays agenda includes, a little cleaning, a lot of studying, some finishing of a research paper, the making of dinner for my husband who was been doing way too much around here these days, and childbirth class in the PM. Baby is already keeping us running, and it hasn't even arrived!
Me on a home day:



Sean hot on all days!

The baby tends to wake up with me in the morning, no matter what the time. Or, possibly, the baby wakes me up but I don't realize that is why I am awake. Still I think it is my favorite part of the morning, laying there and feeling this little one kick around and do any number of things that cause sensations across my belly. I wonder what positions the little one is taking in there to cause such a raucous. It reminds me to pray each morning for the things I worry about, I pray we will be good parents, that we will know how to raise a baby as things come along, and that God will surround us with people that we can be close to and that will love our baby like a family. There is an odd sort of loss having a baby so far away from our families. It is harder to come to grips with than I thought it would be, but I am grateful for our little family that we have grown over the last couple of years, I look forward to adding on to it, and I am grateful for my brother and the ones who are near. The rest, well maybe we will be nearer soon!

At times there are few things as delicious as a peanut butter and banana sandwich and a glass of milk! well few things other than Edy's realy fruit lemonade and orange bars, spring rolls, and cheap mac n' cheese. The ol' belly button has popped a bit on the top crest, and the baby is moving around like nuts in there. It is a comforting and reassuring feeling to wake up to in the morning. Everyone seems to have an opinion as to what we are having, I think it bothers other people that we aren't finding out because the first thing I am usually asked is, "what are you having?" Then followed by a prediction. I guess there is a 50/50 chance, not much to lose at venturing a guess. People say it with such confidence as if they, and only they, really know what we are having. Me, I have no idea whatsoever, I can't wait to find out though!
