In September, we took a few days off to celebrate our first anniversary! Brian was unable to get any time off from work over our actual anniversary, so we celebrated a month late. Hopefully that won't always be the case, but I suppose August is a popular time for most people to travel. We're thinking of making a beach trip an annual occurrence, since it is our favorite place to be. It was amazing to be able to just be together, away from home for a day or two. It did rain quite a bit, and I was sicker than normal, but we truly relished the chance to deepen our relationship and reminisce over the first year of our marriage.
We discovered this little car on a sunset walk.
And I thought I felt big then!
Bethany Beach, DE. Lovely, very quite place.
Assateague. Lovely and wild looking place. Almost haunting. The pony drive is in July, so we missed that, and it was very rainy, so I think most of the horses were seeking shelter. We came back covered in mosquito bites. Brian did manage to capture this horse...
...And self-timer strikes again... We're both getting pretty anxious for Baby J to make his/her appearance. Don't know who is more excited.
This is Baby J at 31 weeks. Already outdated because my belly grows and changes shape daily. This weekend I'll be 34 weeks, with about 6 to go!
This Mommy is big and uncomfortable these days and very ready to meet her little one. Feeling very mother bear-ish--want to keep baby all to myself for a little while. ;-)
Papa Bear isn't much better.
Snowstorm in October! This is the before shot; I don't have the after. This is the first time in my life I've ever seen a snowstorm in October. The last time we had an accumulation of snow like this was in 1925! Apparently, La Nina has formed again, so we'll probably be in for a long, hard winter. Brian and I are okay with that; we're going to stay snuggled in with our little one (though we might get a bit restless). I think we got about 3 inches here, but where Brian works, and in the mountains, they had close to 10 inches! Plus ice! Crazy!! The colored leaves were so pretty against the white snow.
I have lots of projects to complete before this Baby arrives, but it doesn't seem to make the waiting any easier! Know what else? It's almost Thanksgiving....AND CHRISTMAS!! My favorite time of year! Enjoy it, people!
Smiles!
Keep focusing on the holidays and the baby will be here before you know it. Then all the waiting, etc fades into oblivion as you enjoy your little miracle.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe we missed the snow! But we enjoyed our visit with you, even though it was way too short.
Love you guys!
Love the pictures! Thanks for sharing! Praying for you during these last few weeks. I know how hard they can be... I agree with Anne- once the holidays are in full swing, time should pass much faster!
ReplyDeleteAww, the baby is almost here! :D Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the pics of you with your big belly! Hard for me to believe that I'll be looking that way soon (I guess you can't really imagine exactly what it will be like the first time around). I have a whole new appreciation for your self-timer pics after Caleb and I tried that for the first time last week! It was crazy and by the end of it I was like, "I don't care what we got, that was enough! no more!"
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived closer so I could help you with your baby projects and nesting. I'm doing a lot planning ahead right now for all of the projects I'm thinking about/saving for. I'm looking forward to it!
You look so cute pregnant ;) It's a cute belly.
ReplyDeleteWho knew Delaware could be so beautiful? :D Now I wanna visit!
I am impressed! The self timer shot is beautiful! You do look adorable. Thanks for updating!
