Wow, it's been a while...

Hope that the holidays were lovely from coast to coast. I went pretty much straight from final exams and papers to visitors and stomach flu, hence the lack of any contact with the great wide world. Starting to emerge from madness- contemplating attempting a phone call or two, but not going to rush into anything...

I bought a lot of them today. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Can't wait to get the damn tree inside. I really miss the smell and there's only so long you can justify having a fresh smelling tree in your livingroom, especially with NY real estate being what it is...

Just realized that at some point I need to figure out where the heck everyone is going to fit for the holidays. The apartments/sleeping arrangements are taken care of, but there's no way 15 people can eat at our kitchen table, even if we had more than 8 chairs... I just wish we could knock out the wall in between the kitchen and the living room. I've been wishing that for a while, but there's something about the landlord not wanting to loose a breaing wall or something. Details...

Have 8 thousand hours worth of homework for this weekend and then a single test on monday and I'm done with the semester. YAAAAAYYYYYYY!

To start said homework, I will go to bed immediately.

So pukey I could cry...

It's so damn hard to get my work done when I just want to puke and cry all the time...

We got the most amazing VAN LOAD of baby gear from the awesome Jennifer Parsons and Nate Chura. So good to see them and their little Emmerson, who is now so BIG! I feel so lucky to have so many friends with kids to offer advice/support and let us help them empty out their storage space!

*The kid's got a face!

But whose nose...?!

So excited about these! I'm not sure if it was worth the recovery from the exam, but these are definitely the best pictures of Parker I've seen yet!

Starting to get nervous about finishing all my work by the end of the semester. Pregnancy brain still in full effect; I even managed to lose one of the books I'm supposed to be writing a paper on. Library, here I come!

*2nd picture!

The doctor kept saying what great pictures they were and that the baby was looking straight at us. I think she's a little crazy, but what are you going to do...



First trimester screening tomorrow where I'm supposed to be able to see much more clearly, but I don't know if I'm allowed to take any copies home. Keep your fingers crossed!

Dance, Baby, Dance!

Had a nice trip to the obstetrician yesterday with Lance. We both got to see the baby dance! Legs and arms waving all over the place! I'll post the new pictures as soon as Lance brings them home.

Otherwise things are good. Got a paper and my last midterm back. Miraculously I got A's instead of the B's & C's I was expecting. Let's hear it for curves... Only three weeks of class left to catch-up on homework. Wish me luck!
