Nap time!

Brought to you by Brooklyn Abigail :)

(I cannot take such wondrous credit for tucking in

ALL of these cute, little guys!)

9 months

Here I am at 9 months...

I didn't think I could get any bigger but, alas, it has happened.

After weeks of basically staying the same,

my tummy, (aka baby) had a big growth spurt

right after the last 8 month picture was taken.

I am now officially a WHALE!

haha, ok, that is not so or not very nice

but I do feel HUGE!

And uncomfortable.

And exhausted.

And, quite honestly, very useless.

My husband has been picking up alot of the slack lately

and I am so thankful to him for that

and for him basically being my hero, as always.

I also starting having Braxton Hicks contractions

(the "practice" contractions that prepare you for labour).

I'd almost forgotten what they felt like

even after complaining non-stop

about how painful my tummy has been feeling lately.

They especially occur when the little guy moves around

(which is basically ALL the time!).

I am also now off of work for good

and I feel very relieved.

That particular stress has been lifted

which I think has helped my mental state more.

And I get to hang out with my little girl

at home now too which is a big bonus :)

Now I just have to make it one more week

before we move to the big city for a few months.

I will be busy packing and also prepping/cleaning

the house this week

for the handful of different house/dogsitters

we will have while we are gone

(ughh, gong-show in this dept, as per usual).

And, perhaps, A LOT of mini-breaks and naps

along the way too...

Yep, all I have to say is:

Thank God for to-do lists!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I asked my hubby to make me a chocolate cake yesterday

(because you know...a 9 month pregnant lady needs her some chocolate cake! hehe)

and this is what he surprised me & Brooklyn with!

He's such a sweetheart! =)

Tidbits.

8 months pregnant

And I finally got a haircut (not shown).....whoa.

With my new FABULOUS(!!!!!) cameo ring from Rosy Revolver!!

LOVE!

Finally got that bird's nest OUT of Brooklyn's hair!!!

Whew! =)
