life lately…

1.  my feet literally need to be up all. the. time.  the swelling is a bit out of control.  bretts new favorite game is pushing on my feet or shins and making little dents in my legs.  he thinks its hiiiilarious…im really not that amused by it.  also lately…im really good at balancing things on my belly.  the other day i was eating a bowl of ice cream at my dads and i was telling a story with my hands with out realizing that i wasnt actually holding on to my bowl.  it was propped nice and sturdy like on my belly.  needless to say…my dad was very impressed at the skills that i have honed during these last weeks of pregnancy.

2.  my lovely friend bought penny these ADORABLE baby minnetonkas!  i’m a little jealous that she scored a pair before i did.  I’m sure ill get over it when i see them on her teeny tiny feets.  my goodness!

3.  This guy got a sweet new job!  I’m so very proud of him, it’s sort of ridiculous.  He’s already working so hard for me and our little one, and i’m so thankful for everything he does and is working towards.  also…hes pretty damn cute.

4.  her room is complete!  i love this simple little space that we have made for her.  i find myself wandering in there these days and just sitting in my chair with my feet up.  looking around at all the tiny things she’ll fit in and occasionally talking to her about how much we want to meet her face to face.

Life is super crazy right now, with trying to wrap up work and new jobs and hectic schedules.  Brett and I were talking last night about how we cant wait for the two weeks we’ll have together after penny comes, of no work and no plans, just being a tiny family.  It’s gonna be a rough first 2 weeks we’re sure, but theres something about knowing that it will just be us for a little while…it sounds pretty special.

here’s hoping she gets here soon!
