Almost there!

Well, I've had TONS (okay, maybe one or two...but that's all the encouragement I need, people) of requests for some preggo photos.  So...coming to you courtesy of my super incredible cell phone selfie skills, here you go!

Exhibit A:  the belly.


I took this photo a week or two ago...but I (think I) haven't grown much since then.  So, there you go!

Exhibit B:  the coat.


My cousin co-owns a kid's upscale resale clothing store in Houston, and this maternity coat I bought from her is, without a doubt, the best $20 I've spent in my maternity wardrobe.  It's been cold in Texas this winter!

Exhibit C:  the room.

Her room is almost done.  Here it is.  I think it's pretty cute, and not too baby-ish...and not too guest room-ish.  The room was already painted blue-tealish, which worked great for us.  


There are other cute parts to the room that you can't seen from this photo...so, once everything is totally done, I'll take higher quality photos and share those.  Because I know you all care so deeply.  :)

See that random femur bone on the floor between the rugs?  That's a little evidence of a well-known truth in our house:  baby's room is Nolan (oldest dog)'s favorite room.  He LOVES being in there, and it's not unusual for him to camp out on one of those rugs and chew on one of his toys.  The guy doesn't have a ton of patience, though, so there's a strong chance that once little bit comes along, he'll be hiding in a closet somewhere to get away from the noise.  We'll just have to see!

Here comes the baby!  The question is, when?!

38 weeks. Perfect time to start new projects, right?

38 weeks tomorrow.  Doctors say everything is good, baby's nice and comfy, we'll see when she comes.

Sweet.  So I totally have time to start learning how to work my new camera, which is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than any other camera I've ever owned, right?  And order new parts to replace the ones I don't like?  And start dealing with the big world of film?  Yes.

OH, and I definitely should be working on rebranding, complete with reading a great book that's making me examine the soul of my business, commissioning a new (amazing, by the way) logo, AND totally changing my website, pricing, the works.  Right?

Super logical.  Can I blame this on hormones?  Is this a strange sort of nesting?  Heeeelp.  Someone stop me!  I'm having way too much fun, but I don't know if I can wrap all this up in the next two weeks, which I'm not even guaranteed!

Luckily (providentially?), I have all my sub plans done at school.  So that worked out.

PANIC BUTTON.
