Three Weeks
Nora is three weeks old today! In honor of her three week “birthday,” here are some pictures from the week. Daddy and Nora Nap Time Super Cute Baby Feet Cloth diapers finally fit! Hey, maybe bath time isn’t so bad… Nora’s birthday card for dad is almost as big as her!…

Welcome Home
We’ve had Nora home for a week now and have been having a great time with her. She is very easy going (with the exception of the first time Chris and I tried to bathe her – it was too cold) and has been letting us sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night. She…

41 Weeks & 1 Day
Well, we had an interesting doctors appointment today. Chris picked me up from work at 1:00 and we headed, first, to Northern Dutchess for a sonogram and a peek at baby. Baby scored 8/8 on the biophysical profile and looks great. We could even see him or her practicing breathing the amniotic fluid in and…

The 10th Month
Still hanging in there and hanging out. I worked all week this week. It was slowing down a bit since the semester starts Monday, but still relatively busy (I had to finalize my goals for 2009-2010). It wasn’t bad, though, that baby decided to give me this week, because it let me do that and…

Due Date
Well, that’s it, I’m officially in the 10th month and 40th week of being pregnant – thank goodness I feel so great, because this baby has some serious procrastination genes (from both sides). I’m surprised we didn’t get more phone calls today – just one from my brother Brandon. And it was probably a pretty…

Peaches
Chris and I had a very busy and productive last weekend (hopefully!) before the baby comes. I did laundry, swept and mopped; Chris organized the pantry and cleaned the bathtubs. And, of course, this was a weekend for one of my favorite hobbies: canning! Last Sunday, Chris and I went to the Peach & Wine…

The News Is…
No news. Sorry. Boy, yesterday was the day for phone calls. I suppose everyone is getting a little bit anxious to hear about grandbaby, because we got a call from just about every one of our parents this weekend. And today even the Dean of the School of Management asked me what my doctor has…

Belly Love
Last night, I posed for an amazing local photographer, Melissa Surprise, who is working on a project of expecting mommas doing yoga. It was tons of fun and her pictures are beautiful!!! Go visit her blog at http://surprisephotography.com/blog/?p=1497 to see the pictures (and my giant belly)! P.S. let me know if you think you’re interested…

Perfect Day
I had today off from work, and it was wonderful! I went to the doctor this morning, ran a few errands, hung out by the pool in the sunshine with Margarete for 3+ hours, came home and relaxed, then went to yoga. It was a great relaxing day! My doctor’s visit went well – I’m…

Baby Shower
Yesterday, my New York friends threw me a surprise baby shower, complete with all kinds of silly baby shower games. Trish, it would seem, is the game master – she had all kinds of fun planned for us, from one-handed diapering relays, to pictionary and baby bottle chugging races. I haven’t laughed that much in…

The Countdown
We’re really getting close now, with less than a month on the countdown. Both Chris and I are getting excited to meet baby — and getting a lot more serious about getting all that gear. I finalized our registry at Waddle ‘N’ Swaddle this week (adding a carrier, wet bags, and a breast pump –…
