what we've been up to

As I mentioned in last week's stats, time has been flying lately! I can't believe this weekend will be the end of October. Didn't the month just start? And isn't our anniversary closely followed by Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years, then BABY TIME?! Holy smokes.

We're both busy with work, but there are a few other things in life keeping us occupied. Here's what we've been up to:
Growing. My belly is growing. The baby is wiggling. We're growing as a couple and as a family.
Cleaning. Sorting. Organizing. Nursery stuff, new guest room stuff, basement office stuff, etc.
Writing thank you notes. We've already been blown away by the generosity of our family and friends. Wow.
Celebrating my 29th birthday. Sometimes I wax poetic on my birthdays and write some sort of sentimental schmooze, but this one was spent relaxing with my favorite guy and feeling my daughter kick like an absolute maniac during a 3D movie in the theaters. That's about all, folks. :)
Planning. I'm trying to wrap my mind around the upcoming holidays and how they'll affect our little family. Not to mention figuring out childcare arrangements for the last part of the school year.
Registering. For childbirth classes, breastfeeding classes, etc. etc.
Emailing. This seems to be one of my favorite hobbies. Though I like the convenience of email, it does get exhausting sometimes.
Talking. I love telling people about our baby. It's so exciting when they notice my bump and ask questions. Tonight as we left Chick-fil-A a random man held the door for us and said, "Congratulations," to Joel when he saw my belly. Cute!
Reading. I haven't been good at finishing many books this pregnancy... but I'm still making progress on "The Birth Book" and am learning lots of good information.
