Finally uploaded pics from the camera- turns out it is easy!

Chowder and lobster roll time!

Super cold/wet day!

But was beautiful the next day!

The fam- along Marginal Way in Ogunquit, Maine!

How cute are these lobster aprons!

Tom the Explorer.

Love Tom's shirt (from his parents).  Perfect for a clam bake!

The beautiful couple!

Still haven't uploaded the Maine pics -but here's a preview. Delicious!

Fourth serving of lobster during our New England getaway. Tanya and Stu's amazing clambake!

Yeah! Hoa and Geoff came to visit this week. We've missed them! The bear gave us daps.

Laundry room glamour shot! Most amazing thing this week- Tom can feel Critter move! Wow! Critter is a kicker! Tom's been imitating what Crits must be doing in the womb. Ha.

Had the best week in Maine with Tom's family and then MA for Tanya and Stu's wedding! Have to figure out how to upload my camera photos, but in the meantime, a few shots from this week!

Woah! Looking a bit rough. The custodian at work said to me today, "Oh! You are pregnant! Every time I looked at your trash I was wondering why you are always eating so much food!"  Tough crowd!

Woo! Beautiful wedding- photo booth was exciting, as always!

We were practicing our storyboard skills. Shira says the last frame is a director's cut.

We just went to our sonogram appointment this morning! They said Critter is "looking perfect" and is growing ahead of schedule (by one day haha).  He did a lot of posing for the session, and kept putting his hands by his face. Too cute!!! We love him so much already.

Critter's face, tummy, and one hand.  The doc said he has 10 fingers and 10 toes.

Baby feet! So adorable.

Ahnalee sent us an amazing baby care package! I tried to get Tom to model some of the items, but he was feeling too shy.  

Had my first prenatal massage this week. Turns out that, like prenatal yoga, it's mostly just stretching without anything super exciting happening. Still, it was relaxing!

Critter is getting huge! I can feel my stomach muscles stretching as we speak. This week, he's the size of a turnip. In other news- our remodel is finished, and we are ready for a tenant.  We meet our nanny share potential people tomorrow- hopefully they are nice!

Much love,

Hello! Critter is the size of an avocado this week! I'm not sure if I'm feeling him move yet- at night I feel something that feels like a bubble popping.  Otherwise, we are out of our old apartment! Starting to feel settled, which is really nice.  We are almost finished with the mother in law remodel.  Will post pics when we finish!

Love,

Betty

Time lapse photos - haha. Stephanie asked why I'm always in stripes - the striped shirt is a control variable so we can see what changes happen!

Giant pillow that Ahnalee recommended for preggos. Ahn is giving us her baby carriers! We are so excited!

Gratuitous Ender photo - he's enjoying the sun. Told Tom we need to post more pics of Tom. He says Ender photos and bump pics better reflect our readership. Ha.

Week 15!

Hola! I am still exhausted at night, but I'm getting a lot more energy during the day! I've been able to submit a few paper revisions, so things are moving right along at work. I told a few people at work about Critter, and I got some good information about daycares and maternity leave. I checked out the GSU daycare, it seems great! The only catch is that the waitlist is 12 - 18 months long. So, in the meantime, we are meeting with a random couple that lives in the area about a nanny share. I will keep you posted about that. We are having brunch together next weekend. 

We're still not quite moved out of our old apartment, but we think we have just one more trip to make. There were so many delicate things over there that we gave up on Saturday and went to see Chef instead. Chef was ok, kind of cheesy with no plot, but not terrible.  Here are some pics from the week!

The baby book I'm reading. Pretty helpful, but they are nuts! They breastfed some of their kids until 3. In one part of the book, they talk about a debate they had with their three year old about when they wanted to breastfeed next. When your kid can debate with you about breastfeeding, it seems like it should be ok to stop breastfeeding.

Critter's first baby blanket! Love it! Made it today, along with learning how to do blind hems on the sewing machine. Hemmed two pants. I was going to take my new maternity pants to the tailor, but Tom said, "What is that sewing machine for?" Ha!

Woo! Bigger every day. Critter is the size of an apple this week!  Looks bigger than an apple to me!
