34 weeks

Before we get to the baby stuff there are two more important items this week.

First, Sunday was our 2nd anniversary.  I'm excited to start this next chapter of our relationship as parents and I'm mourning our couple-dom at the same time.  We will never again be two independent people who chose to spend our time together.  We will be parents with bigger obligations than either of us have ever had before.  To celebrate, we decided to spend a day together with breakfast and some easy errands followed by time spent walking around Pedernales Falls.

I saw my first breathing armadillo.  I may be officially a Texan now.

Second, I know everyone is focused on the brand new baby boy to come, but this week we are celebrating the birthday of my first baby boy...

Russell and his baby

Happy 14th Birthday, Russell!  (you're going to live forever)

Now on to baby news.  There are just 2 more weeks until SM can make an appearance at any time, regardless of how unlikely it is that he will decide to show up "early".  Due dates are estimates at best so who knows...

I have been lucky to have perhaps the easiest pregnancy ever, but it has finally happened.  SM has found my bladder and decided it makes a great pillow.  Peeing is now my new hobby.  It had to happen sooner or later.  I'm glad it happened later.
