Week 38

After a January without much snow, we are back to a stormy February. Today Catey is home from work, due to 8" of snow that fell overnight. Now it is freezing rain on top of the snow, which means we will have frozen glaciers in the driveway by the time night falls.

After 2 lovely baby showers, we can also claim that we are physically ready for the little guy's arrival. We even took a parenting class last Friday, so watch out!

Do I need a nursing chair?

So, my question of the day is - "Do I need a nursing chair?" Is it worth buying one? If you've seen our living room, you know it is really small, and we don't really have a comfortable place to sit. So, what do you think?

I'm home today because of another snow storm that dumped 10 inches, so here are some pictures from the past few weeks:
Week 32 (last week).

December Update

I thought I'd catch you all up on life in Maine in December. The month has been full of mundane things and lots of snow. Here is our house after our first snow storm.


We cooked our first turkey. We were going to have my family over for an early December turkey feast, but another snow storm caused us to cancel it.

Photo-A-Go Go, an annual photo auction that supports the Bakery Photo Collective, and is THE place to be seen, happened on December 14th. Eugene donated a photo.

I insisted that we go walk in yet another snow storm one night.

My stomach is getting bigger. I think this was 29 weeks.

Eugene decided to rake the snow off the roof of the house during yet another snow storm on December 20th. I got to stay home from work that day.

Our mothers would really like a good picture of us together. We tried to take one of ourselves to give them for Christmas. This is as good as it got. They still don't have a photo of us together.
