absence makes the heart grow fonder {?}

Hello bloggy friends :)

{It's totally unrelated... but aren't these Apartment Therapy pom poms the cutest?!}

It's been nearly a month since I've posted, so I'm due for an update! The past weeks have been filled with:

*family parties, Christmas shopping, and lots of late afternoon naps
*putting the finishing touches on our house, and {slowly} moving things in {Note to self: I have too much stuff.}
*wrapping up loose ends at my day job, and getting ready to say goodbye to my lovely coworkers
*weekly OB appointments {where they tell me that all is well, and that baby has a huge head. goody!}
*getting ready for baby: washing onesies and a bajillion pairs of tiny socks, setting up his room, trying to figure out what in the world we're supposed to bring to the hospital, etc. etc. etc.
*photography {yes, i still take pictures; they're sitting patiently on my CF cards. but somehow, uploading photos has taken a back-burner to getting our house livable before baby comes. imagine that??}
*trying to picture what life will be like in 2 weeks... 1 month... 1 year... crazy!

Baby isn't due for another three weeks, but who knows when he'll decide to make an appearance? If he holds off for awhile, expect more posts in the coming weeks -- including a final update on the house! which is almost! done!! hallelujah!!!*


*P.S. If you told me six months ago that I wouldn't yet be moved into our house with three weeks to go until my due date... I would have probably died. This is exactly why God doesn't let us see into the future. To keep perfectionistic, idealistic list-makers like myself from unneccessary deaths.

ha!
