Sunday Afternoon


Remember how fun it is to use an umbrella?

Ok, I know I've been neglecting this blog, but I'm allowed to. It's mine, right? So here's what I look like lately:
I couldn't decide which picture was less hideous, so I included both. Yes, I am in boxers. Yes, I am 7 months pregnant. Yes, I do wear my hair in a scraggly ponytail/bun every single day. And yes, I do have strange orange and brown sea turtle curtains in my hall. Oh, and yes, I do know how to use the crop tool, but I just didn't.

I'm 34 weeks along. We didn't find out the sex. Baby moves a kicks a lot and has a strong heartbeat. I am a tad nervous to deliver here, but I know I'll inevitably have a newborn in a few months no matter how it happens. So that's good enough.

I'll try to post more often in the spare moments I steal from my children, but they're become more and more adept with the computer and therefore more and more demanding with it. (I know I sure didn't need computer restrictions at the age of 2.) Fortunately neither of them has learned how to turn on the cleverly-designed iMac in the two years we've had it, so we still maintain some control. May they never find out...

That's all for now.

You look cute pregnant! Even with boxers on and your hair in a bun. I wear my hair the same every day too (except for Sunday when I pretend I'm normal).

Oh, Melinda, you look great! Best wishes with your delivery. And I know what you mean about the computer. These days it seems like you have to have more than one computer at home. My three older kids need it for school almost nightly and they're always arguing over whose turn it it. We're about to cave in and buy another!

Tell Ella I LOVE her pink Sunday slippers. She must have received them from someone who loves her!

I live Eph's commendt. I agree that YOU ALL look cute, you especially. I like that pregger's shirt. I'm showing already and I'm only 9 weeks. I'm sure I'll get huge again with this one.

I meant to say "I love..." not "I live..."

I live sounds so intense.
