Monday: squirmy

Today the baby was squirmy. He made it hard to concentrate a few times, when I really needed to be concentrating.

So I emailed his father that he was being squirmy, since if I am distracted it's only fair that he somehow distract Ben too.

Sunday: it's Sunday

Hi.

It was a normal Sunday today, so this is a rather boring post. We went to church, I took a nap, we did some chores, and we watched a movie. My legs are a little sore from raking yesterday, which is unfortunate.

Saturday: raking

Today we raked leaves with people from the church. The raking itself wasn't really that fun as the leaves were wet, but it was nice to get out and meet some people and help people that would have had a hard time raking.

Friday: excitement!

1) Flurry's doppelganger was from ICanHasCheeseburger.com and choice A. Congrats to those who chose choice B as Flurry!
B) I had an OB appointment. I'm measuring 31 weeks at 30 weeks, so a little large. Which is nice; I feel a little large. But I still have a while to feel large. Anyway. The heart rate was 155 and all my urine nitrates disappeared.

C) Our house in NY is sold! Hurray! It was supposed to close a few weeks ago but didn't, due to floods and lawyers. But it did today, and we are super, super happy about that. It doesn't quite seem real yet.

Wednesday: doppelganger

A few days ago we found Flurry's doppelganger. Can you figure out which one is Flurry and which one isn't?

Choice A:


Choice B:

P.S. Here are some actual pictures of Flurry that you can use to compare:

Tuesday: 3 quarters

Today starts week 30 of being pregnant, so we're 3/4 of the way done. Woo-hoo.

Apparently the baby is the size of a squash right now. It seems appropriate since it is fall/Halloween time. However, squashes come in all sorts of different sizes so I'm not sure it is a really good comparison.

My circumference is 39.5"

Sunday: a grocery conversation

Ben: So we're stopping by [the close-by grocery store]?
Amanda: Yes. We need milk, yogurt, and shampoo. That should make us, uh, let us...
Ben: Those things are going to make us lettuce?
Amanda: ...survive for a few days.
Ben: Those aren't ingredients I would suspect for lettuce making.
Amanda: yeah, well, it should work. I read it on the internet.
