39 Weeks

I can't believe it's finally here - September...the month in which our lives will change forever. We are 39 weeks and 1 day today. I've been a little awful about updating the blog - but Katharine insists that if I do it, baby will come. I am still very comfortable except for an aching back when I get up in the morning. At this point, we are just eager (it's 6am - I can't sleep). I have so enjoyed having him be a part of me, but I am ready to hold and snuggle him and finally see Pat do the same.

Here's what baby looks like this week:

We celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary this month. We thought about going away, but decided to stay close to home for obvious reasons. We had a great day - a long walk in Woodstock, some shopping and we cooked an amazing meal together at home. It's crazy to think about how different our lives were a year ago. Our summer was action-packed - this summer has been very tame compared to last, though our house has changed...A LOT. (See next post to come).

July and August were great months. Amongst other things, July brought us:

 

A red sox game:

A lovely day in Salem, MA (34 weeks):

My baby shower:

While August brought us:

A fire right by our house (which P dragged us to - pj's and all):

Our anniversary:

Margaret & Jeff's wonderful wedding:

(photo booths are so much fun)

...and more work on the house, cleaning, work and relaxing. My last day of work was last Friday - so i've been enjoying my time at home...lots of walks and bouncing on my birthing ball.



September promises:
