A year ago....

We got married...





Twice...









Went on an awesome honeymoon...


Had our first argument (about being late because we had to get delicious food) and then made up...

And had an amazing trip...


And any day now will be the new best day of our lives...

38 weeks!

I know, this post is a day late. But we had a Dr's appointment today and there is progress!
First, some 38 week self-portraits-


In other news, I got a haircut and color that I'll be able to maintain after the baby is born. Yeah, it's a mom-cut: Shorter and darker, but still cute. I'm sure I'll be blonde again by July...



Enough about me- back to this baby:

**How Big is Baby?: Hopefully about 6.5lbs

**Maternity clothes? I keep hoping that every time I wear a maternity outfit, it'll be the last time I have to wear that one.

**Total weight gain: Up 24lbs

**Stretch marks? Still just that one

**Sleep: Still sleeping, although the past two nights I haven't been able to go back to sleep after pee breaks because my mind was racing. Very frustrating.

**Movement: Lots and lots of movement

**Food cravings: Parmesan cous cous. DELICIOUS. It's like upscale mac and cheese.

**Feeling: Ready. And super-excited.

**Health/Exercise: Walking more than running, but Monday I was able to run for more than 30 mins (so probably about 3 miles)! I don't know how much more running I'll be doing, but I'm still trying to do something aerobic everyday.

**Labor Signs: At today's appointment my cervix was 3cm dilated and 80% effaced. The doctor said that it's good progress, but some people walk around at 5cm for weeks before going into labor. So he said it's equally likely that I go into labor this week as it is that I'll be at next week's appointment.


**Next Appointment: Cinco de Mayo!

Pregnancy in Pictures from Holland

I've had the great opportunity to see Holland quite a bit throughout this pregnancy. She's great about taking pictures, so here's a look back at my preg through her camera lens...
Holland & Ian visit DC: ~13 weeks



For the big pregnancy "reveal" I had to stuff my shirt...

Then in late January I went down to Charlotte to see Holls and Bow. Even though it snowed, we were able to go out in style


And then the baby shower--Holland captured more of the details and pics of the lovely ladies than I got on my camera.







Hopefully we'll be able to see Holland again soon after Baby L is born!
