31 weeks: harper's photo shoot

Alpha Mom Reports:
Your Baby:

• Blah blah blah 3.3 pounds, bag of oranges, sock full of nickels, etc.
• Enjoys yawning, sucking his or her thumb, kicking mom in the diaphragm.
• Turn-offs include: getting the hiccups, really loud noises and you trying to do all that boring “sleeping” at night.

You:

• Can totally round down your answer to “two months” when people ask you how much longer you have to go. DO NOT focus on the crazy week-to-month-ratio math at this point in pregnancy, particularly when there are breakable, smashy objects within reach.
• May be weirdly and inexplicably congested all the time. I, for one, appear to be allergic to my pillow. This is also prime time for pregnancy colds, as the toll on your body and immune system is getting higher by the week. Take it easy, slow down, take your vitamins and try try try to get enough sleep.
• Can now play everybody’s favorite game, Guess The Body Part That’s Sticking Out Next To My Belly Button! Elbow or heel? Head or butt? Did I seriously just maybe feel my baby’s BIG TOE?

I can't believe we have 2 months (max) to go. And then...all of a sudden...I just won't be pregnant anymore...weird. I feel like I've been pregnant FOREVER and only for a split second at the same time. I bet it will be like marathon training when it's over...even though it's not always fun or comfortable, I'll miss it when it's gone because I know I'm doing something super cool and the uncomfortableness and un-fun-ness of it all is SO worth it. I can't believe she will be HERE so soon...when we can hold her and see her and start to learn her personality. I'll miss my little partner in crime though, that's for sure. I love sharing every bit of my day with her. She is my workout buddy, my sing-along-with-the-radio buddy & even keeps me company through the night when I'm tossing and turning. I feel like she shares in my joy and laughter and also my sadness and tears. What a bond...


but i'm getting ahead of myself...we still have about 2 months to hang together.

we went to the doctor this week & everything is still great...actually "perfect" to use my OB's words :) doesn't get much better than that! 

the other big event of this week was our maternity photo session with the sweet and talented Jordan Palmer! She was so great to work with and after just one short hour (thank goodness, because it was COLD!), we had a whole collection of great pictures. I couldn't be happier with them! here are our faves:
