So, I think I look a lot more pregnant than I did a week ago. Or maybe it's just an optical illusion created by the horizontal stripes I've worn for the last 2 days in a row. I'm not a good judge of how much I'm showing at this point; it seems like a lot. But to someone who isn't aware of my new status, I probably look like I just ate waaay too much Valentines candy. Which I did, but that's beside the point.

I just realized that the 2 of us have never had a portrait taken, at least since our wedding 7 years ago. I'm thinking that maybe we should, before we become the 3 of us. Maybe on Sunday, if both of us are having a good hair day!

My street this morning...

Ok, I have to admit, it was pretty. Though not so much through the
windshield.

Will winter ever end?

I was officially sick of winter a couple of weeks ago, during our last snowstorm. So I was not thrilled to hear we were going to get another dumping of snow last night. Usually when I awake to everything coated in white, I'm like a kid again, excited that it snowed, even though I'm not going to go sledding in it and there's no possibility of a snow day. But today wasn't like that, and the snow only represented a potential sloppy mess that would require me to wear boots and lug around extra shoes. We've had so much snow this winter that it will be a long time before it all melts, but I'd settle for sunshine and dry pavement.

Ok, enough whining about the weather. I did choose to live in Chicago, after all. But around here, complaining about the weather is as ubiquitous as snarled traffic or Starbucks.

Update

It's been a really long time since my last post...I keep thinking about it but never have gotten around to it. :) Anyway, I'm sure everyone who reads this knows by now, but we're expecting our first child this July 24! So far everything is going along well. So that's pretty much been consuming my energy of late. That, and our massive clean-out-the-house endeavor that we're in the middle of. Anyone want some free books? !! Sometimes it seems like we're not making much progress, because lots of the progress isn't visible (in closets and such). We are probably also going to replace the carpet in the bedrooms because it's in worse shape than I though (now that we're moving furniture around that was cleverly concealing the stained areas). So, more stuff to do! But we're really excited about this summer!!
