Alabama is still undefeated. I may have needed to bake cookies in the middle of the game to keep my cool, but I did it and so did AJ. A drive for the ages, I tell ya.
The other big news?
Scooter and Roddy might have a career as furry models. Scooter is showing some major blue steel here.
I initially waffled with the idea of doing maternity photos. Sometimes maternity pictures come off a little conceited, or even worse, cheesy. There are some bad maternity pictures out there and they usually involve props. Or nudity. Or a combination thereof.
But knowing that this may be our only pregnancy, we decided to give it a shot. The other driving factor was our wedding pictures, or lack thereof. We have zero professional wedding pictures - nada, not one. Our photographer disappeared shortly after the wedding and we only got a DVD of the photos that cannot be copied. So we have a major lack of nice family pictures.
I decided to use Andi after seeing the pictures she took of MomJovi and the whole Jovi family. They were pretty and natural. Andi was a complete pleasure to work with and made us feel totally at ease, an impressive feat considering J and I are probably the most awkward people ever to photograph. She'll also be taking Baby Peanut's newborn pictures. After seeing what a great job Andi did with our pictures, I know I made the right choice.
We are making excellent progress with the nursery, but it isn't complete. The curtains come in next week and we have a few things to check off the to do list. J's office is throwing us a shower today and tomorrow we'll buy whatever else we need. I signed up for Amazon Moms and am now the proud owner of 648 Huggies wipes and 240 Pampers Diapers. Free Prime shipping is a beautiful thing. Physically, I'm getting big and tired. I just have to laugh at the swelling at this point. Nothing helps - nothing. I am starting to feel some cramping and the Braxton-Hicks are increasing quite a bit. My doctor confirmed that the baby dropped at around 34 weeks, so the pressure on my bladder is getting pretty intense. However, none of that means she's coming even a single day early. My "work outs" now are just to get my blood moving. I'm way too far along to be killing myself. Mom readers: can you tell me what you absolutely had to have for the first month of life? We are trying to only get the essentials. |
