Some very good friends of ours offered to take some maternity pictures for us, and they came out beautiful!
All of their work is fantastic, I recommend them to anyone and everyone :)
Thanks again Mike & Stina!

Fun Things to do When You're Prego...
1. Go to the liquor store- The scuzzy looks alone are worth it- I can buy wine/beer for other people ya know! I may even, GASP, cook with it!
I was almost tempted to say something like "Where's your cigarettes?"
2. Grab huge belly and say "Whoa!" just to freak out the jerk who just tried to cut you off in the Target checkout line.
3. Use it as an excuse... "You want a 9½ month pregnant woman to drive in a blizzard to DirecTV's billing office to fix something that YOU should have never done in the first place?" "Uh, no ma'am- I can fix it over the phone" That's what I thought! (PS, this is the only time I used my pregnancy as a way to get something- after 1½ hours and 2 different people on the phone, I felt it was warranted)
4. Eat a completely disgusting meal with no regrets: Pistachios, grapes, nachos and SweeTarts was one such combination. (I eat a very healthy and balanced diet otherwise- don't judge me!)
5. Record your husband's face when the midwife says you are dilated to 4cm and may have a baby by the end of the weekend... Priceless!
6. Punch the ten thousandth person who tells you that you: Look too small for how pregnant you are, Don't look old enough to be pregnant (I'm 27 ya'all), Shouldn't be working this far into your pregnancy, Should really have a name picked out by now OR gives you any other stupid, inane and otherwise unsolicited advice about your fetus.
7. Tell people fake names you are thinking about giving your child so they stop asking you. "Yep, we just really feel like Thor is a really strong name"
8. When someone nervously asks you how far along you are, deadpan say "I'm not pregnant" and walk away.
9. When someone judges your diet, "I never ________ when I was pregnant!" Kindly point out that they probably shouldn't be eating that cheeseburger/fries/shake combo now that they aren't pregnant.
10. Tell your husband you've changed your mind regarding circumcision :)

Showering Baby
My sisters and mom held a baby shower for me and it was pretty great. You never know if people are going to make it and since we did it the weekend of Thanksgiving I was worried it would just be me and my sisters sitting around a table eating :) We planned it for the holiday weekend so that Becky would be able to be there. I am really happy that both my sisters were there for me.
Tons of family and friends showed up and supported this little guy that is currently sticking his arse in my ribs- We really are very blessed and I couldn't be more grateful.
It was a circus/carnival theme, even though that isn't the theme for the nursery- in the rough draft of the invitation Jennifer kindly called me the "fat lady"... there was a slight re-write.
SpongeBob... Hells yes
35 Weeks and going strong!
