And so it is official - the nursery decorating is in progress!  The plan is this: my super handy dad is going to install white wainscoting around the lower half of the walls.  The upper half will be stripes that are 6" pale pink and 12" a nice, calming green.  I know, nothing that hasn't been done before, but I'm excited.  The pink is White Dogwood and the green will be Livable Green, both from Sherwin Williams.  You can see a piece of the wainscoting behind the glider.  So lovely.  For the kind of paint, I just used three of their quart-sized samples, which, apparently is not "real" paint. ...

Headed back to Los Angeles tomorrow, after having been gone for a year and eight months, to see family and friends for my first baby shower!  I'm so excited to see everyone - and REALLY excited for baby gifts and my cake! Had a checkup today and had to do that glucose test.  That stuff they have you drink...egh...definitely got a little vomit feeling right after downing it.  I'll hear about the results in the next day or two.  Other than that, my tummy is measuring just fine, I have gained 16 lbs. since becoming pregnant and I got to hear her little, super strong heartbeat!  OH!  And I handed...

I am now fully expecting and very afraid of my impending high maintenance alien baby.  Out of boredom from reading about my pregnancy week to week - as so little seems to happen at this point that each new week just talks about something that happened in the first trimester.  i.e. "Week 23!  How exciting!  You know, back in week 7, the lungs were forming!  You want to know about week 23?  Oh...uh...did we mention week 9! Whoa, at lot happened then!" - I have taken to doing some reading in Your Baby's First Year: Week by Week.  I haven't read more than the first 48-hours.  And it really...

Yes, my bottom is growing.  And not just my butt.  My thighs, too.  I bought maternity jeans a while ago that were too big.  And then they fit really well.  And now...they're a little too tight.  It's very frustrating.  In my daily email from What to Expect the subject line was "Weight Worries," and I was all, "Oh, God, yes.  That's me."  And I opened it up to see that I should be repeating a mantra: I am not fat, I am growing a baby.  I am not fat, I am growing a baby.... Very nice of them to share this.  And I get it.  And I do like the mantra.  But, when you've...

I would like to thank the maternity clothing-making world for making shirts that cover the pregnancy ass.  Because, seriously, my booty could absolutely be featured in a remake of "Baby Got Back."  And it's really fun when your co-workers start noticing.  So, thank you to all those who make maternity shirts.  Serious...

Yes, well, there's no point in apologizing yet again for waiting so long between posts.  It's lame.  And I keep wanting to do updates and then something else comes up.  It's been quite a while since my last chat of baby and my life, so, needless to say, a lot has happened.  For lack of a better (or in order to avoid something more overwhelming) way to get it all down, I think I'll go by photos.  For Christmas, I got the camera that I have practically been BEGGING for.  A nice, digital, Canon Rebel.  I used to do headshots and such when I was in Los Angeles and I had a top notch FILM Canon...
