And as the blazing hot sun blasted at the pregnant puffy perspiring lady, she shouted, "let there be Autumn!" Suddenly the trees began to turn shades of brown, orange and yellow. The sun backed off in fright. The night became longer and cooler. It was good.
As we have recently arrived in the fall season and we feel the weather cooling off, we both take a sigh of relief. Me, because on cool days I am not as puffy and grumpy, and Brandon, because on cool days I am not as puffy and grumpy.
We are now approaching the 37th week of pregnancy. And while it seems that we are at the end of the pregnancy everyday feels to me as if the wonderful day when we will get to hold our precious baby is light years away.
Trying to keep patient has simply made me a much more impatient person. Having surrounded myself with many books to read thinking it will help the time pass has actually just made me an incredibly fast reader. I am going through books the fastest I ever have in my life.
Brandon continues to work away at the framing business and it doesn't surprise me anymore when he comes home with wood chips in his hair.
With the arrival of fall the Halloween season approaches. As it is very close to our due date we have not yet made any solid plans concerning costumes or festivities. However, I will say with much certainty that if our bundle has not yet arrived I am going out as an M and M (that's right, the blue chocolate covered peanut yet again). And I will be joined by my husband probably dressed like a crazy person or a zombie.
