what your sign man?

I think Fig is going to be a Pisces.

I'm having this feeling today that's just like everything is coming together. Everything is finishing up. Everything is falling into where it needs to be. I've gotten so much positive energy today - it's awesome.

And thank you everyone who has sent it - the Fig is so lucky to be born into a world where already he is so loved and has so many friends.

Fig's day is close, I can feel it.

Figgy's shower

Last night our dear friend Elizabeth hosted a super fun, baby-food (think mini-burgers, not strained peas) themed shower for Figget.

Most of the evening was spent laughing hysterically, overeating mini-chocolate cream puffs and predicting if I was going to go into labor on Tuesday or not.

Nerd baby in the making.

This little guy is so lucky to already have these wonderful friends and life here in Nashville! We are blown away by everyone's love, generosity and support during this pregnancy.

Fig - when are you going to come??? We want to see your cute little face and kiss all your toes!

37-weeks 3-days

I didn't get up from this spot for 4-hours last night when I watch every bad show on E! and ate a giant peanut butter and jelly sandwich after have already eaten dinner. I have these burst of energy (like Saturday) and then these days of totally exhaustion (like Sunday). I've been doing that thing that everyone said I was going to do: "nesting" - trying to make our little nest perfect for the Fig.

too much information

My belly button is soft and mushy - totally different than the rest of my belly that's super hard. I wonder if it's going to pop??? It's like the funniest thing that's happened in this pregnancy yet!


Oh wait - no, that was when I left for work this morning without my purse, but with the soy milk. I'm just a little preoccupied these days.

anything sweet

chocolate peeps = amazing

36-weeks 4-days

People were making comments today.

(sorry, I didn't realize it's been so long since we posted new pix!)

Maybe it's from all the hamentashen I ate yesterday. I made a batch as a thank you for my office for hosting a shower. Poppy seed and apricot - so good!


(note: these are not the ones I made - but I feel like I ate this many while baking!)
