We're in the midst of major getting-ready-ness for the monumental shift that is coming. We attended a workshop over the weekend, to learn how to navigate our relationship while taking care of the newest addition. We are attending the 4th installment of our childbirth class tonight - only two more classes after that! And G is going to head back East again for a final visit before the baby comes. (Well, we hope baby doesn't come while he is gone. That would suck.)
Busy, busy, busy. Will try to get a photo up of the ever-growing belly - I think the baby is starting to get too big for its home, as every time I eat (and stomach expands) the baby gets awfully kicky on my right side. Maybe it's just a blood-sugar thing. But I have a feeling it is a space thing. I ate way too much sushi last night - all vegetables, no fish :( - and my stomach was quite full (I felt like I would burst) and boy howdy, this child was kicking frantically on the right side. Big, sweeping kicks - I guess I need to eat smaller portions for the next four weeks. Cuz after four weeks, baby will be here!
4 weeks!

the new year
And here we are in January. Hello 2009! What craziness you will bring our way! G's dad will most likely pass on this year (he's been very sick and is currently in hospice) and we will bring our first child into the world this year. The house projects are mostly done - we are in a lovely state of livability - so at least we can keep that level of crazy at bay. We are gearing up and getting ready, while at the same time remembering to take lots of deep breaths and savor each moment.
Ah, January. We came home to massive amounts of snow (still!) at our house, with rumors of another storm on the way. We had the ever talented Kirk Mastin stop by and take some photos, here's a preview:
And then we had an impromptu New Year's brunch - lots of faces we haven't seen in a while.
I love the photo of R and I busting up - who knows what we were laughing about, but it sure must have been funny. R and K are (very soon) headed off to India for three weeks - hope they have a good time!
