goings on

--So I failed pretty miserably at the 28 week pregnancy update. I never took a picture, and I'll be 29 weeks tomorrow, so pretty sure that ship has sailed. More power to those of you that can keep up any type of blog post every week, let alone one requiring a picture of something specific. I just don't have it in me.

--I'm kind of dying to go to the beach. There is no vacation in the cards for us in the year 2014, but I'm hoping next year we can make it to Napa or Rosemary Beach, FL. Maybe even a quick weekend trip to South Carolina. Our trips to Key West, St. Lucia, and Rhode Island in the year or so surrounding our wedding totally spoiled me. I am ready for a vaca!

--In other news, I was joking around with some co-workers today that work was going to put me into an early labor. We are busy, busy, busy, which is wonderful- but also crazy stressful when you're 7 months pregnant. Two of my closest cube neighbors are single guys, and I am pretty sure they were appalled and disgusted at having to help me to get to the hospital should my water actually break at the office. It was quite hilarious. That conversation has me excited to pack my hospital bag. It's still pretty early, but I've got most other things crossed off of my baby to do list. I can't wait to get packing!

My diaper bag. This baby will also serve as the hospital bag for Norah's things, and whatever else doesn't fit in the bag(s) Will and I bring.

--For some reason I ended up on Bloomingdale's website looking at baby clothes today. I actually ordered 3 outfits for around $40! I am obsessed with shopping for baby outfits. I know they say not to go overboard, but how can you not when you are literally creating a wardrobe from scratch. Plus babies are messy, and I hate doing laundry, so can you really have too much baby clothes? Especially for the Fall in Ohio. It could be 40 degrees out, it could be 90!

--My dogs have been acting pretty sketchy lately. I wonder if they sense the baby is coming? Disregard the hot mess hair below, but seriously, what is she doing?

Our dogs totally the type to be standoffish and pretend the baby doesn't exist. They have made NO acknowledgement of my bump or that they know there is  a person in there. Pretty sure they're in denial. On the bright site, they are pretty calm and relaxed in the nursery.

--I had my first middle of the night pregnancy leg cramp. Talk about the worst pain I've experienced probably ever. That I can remember at least. Worst. Ever.

That's all for now. TGI almost F!
