it’s almost june and i never quite got around to announcing, via chockfullof, my pregnancy. since most of you that read this are close friends and family, you already know, but better late than never for any of my new friends checking in! we’re having a boy and he’s due to join our family mid-september.
much to carter’s chagrin (and late night annoyance) i’m in full-on nesting mode, bringing up ideas for lamps and curtains as he’s attempting to drift off to sleep. i’m feeling really good these days, energy-wise, but get pretty terrible sleep at night which is why i catch up with a nap every few days. i’ve been craving meat and salt, and had a near-religious experience with an arby’s beef cheddar melt. (i pulled my dad into that meaty love fest as payment for painting olive’s room).
my wonderful mother-in-law has been patiently waiting for a photo of the baby bump as well as one of olive smiling…so here’s a two-for-one ellen! everyone that’s already seen this on my sis’ awesome blog, sorry for the repeat…this is all i’ve got right now. can you tell we’re still in a sort of denial/state of shock?!
