Just Loungin'

Dana took the day off today and sent me this pic of he and Molly chillin' around. It's a treat for her when one of us is home during the day...clearly she eats up every moment! :)



Crazy as it is, she really does lay around on her back like that. What a hussy!

27 down...13 to go!

Our weekend was jam-packed with purging unnecessary junk and clutter from our home in preparation for Peanut. BOY HOWDY we had a lot of stuff we didn't need and there is more to go. :) Eek! It seems like once we have one room nailed down and we're ready to cross that pre-baby prep task off our list, somehow another has snuck right in there and added itself.

So last night, we finally had a chance to reeeelaaaxx. We ate a delicious home cooked dinner, watched a terrible TV movie and just laid low...what a great way to end an otherwise chaotic weekend.

We realized we finally had some time to take a few belly shots and Dana won't hesitate at the chance to pull out his camera, so here they are!





Hard to believe she's already 27 weeks, I feel HUUUUGGGEEEE. Yeah, yeah, I know she only grows from here..but let me live in denial for just awhile longer, ok??

Galatians 2:20

19-21What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.

Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

The wheel is spinning, but the hamster is dead.

That's how I feel these days! 'Baby brain' is NO JOKE people! At some point several weeks ago, I realized this uncontrollable need to blurt out my thoughts as they came to me. I no longer have the ability to maintain social courtesy and wait for someone else to finish their thought. Apparently now, if I wait patiently any more than 1.6 minutes, the thought is lost and my mind is temporarily gone. So like a spaz, I blurt "NO WAIT! I think I might have something to say."
'Baby brain' = baby tourettes people. No joke.

My ability to retain information is lost. My desk is littered with post-it notes with basic everyday information. I get laundry going at night with the hopes of having clean clothing in the morning, but lo and behold on more than one occasion, I left it sitting in the washer overnight. I am known to walk out the door in the morning without shoes. I wander 'purposely' in a direction only to get there and realize I have NO idea what I was heading for. Did I actually shut the fan off this morning? Did I close the garage? Did I already say that...more than once?
'Baby brain' = baby alzheimer's people. No joke.

Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?

Wait...is that me?

In All Its Glory

Dana and a friend went out to Portland late one night to shoot some pretty amazing pictures. Here is Dana's first official picture (that he is willing to share that is), isn't it awesome?! What a great eye!
