Right now

I went in for a trim the other day.

Of course, she cut way more than I wanted.

I think the last time I had my hair this short was when I was pregnant with Andy.

Here's the baby bump as of 5 minutes ago.

(p.s. I will be living in maxi dresses for the next 4 months)

(I am aware how terrible I take a self-cellphone pic)

Things We Are Loving

1. We are loving these homemade graham crackers

Andy and I made them last week while Nate was at school one day, but the only tiny cookie cutters we had were acorn and leaf shapes. Today a package arrived from Chris's mom with mini cookie cutters in every shape (giraffe was my fav. Nate's was the little dog bone...or the teddy bear...or the baby chick...or the duckling. Andy's the butterfly). Obviously, we needed to put them to use right away.

2. Paper Air Planes made of poster board = Awesome

3. Vintage Baby Clothes

as in my baby clothes that my mom saved! A whole box full. LOVE.

I love hearing the boys refer to the baby as "baby sister". Nate will often come snuggle by me for a chance to feel the baby move. The other day he said, "Baby Sister, we're ready for you to come out now". I told him, "Oh no, honey. She's not ready to come out yet. Her lungs aren't ready to breath air and her body is not ready to live outside of mom yet. Think of a grape, how it has to grown on the vine until it's ripe. The baby isn't ripe yet." He got a panicked look on his face for a minute and then hesitantly leaned close to my belly and said, "Nevermind. Stay in there." :) He is such a sweet, thoughtful boy. It already melts my heart to think about him holding her. Speaking of which, here's his face when we told him we were having a girl

(don't mind Andy, he wasn't feeling well.)

And me the day of the ultrasound. Photo courtesy of Nate.

I know it didn't look like much then, but she is actually measuring a little big (just like her brothers)
