still no baby. what?

i still haven't had him.
he is taking his sweetoldtime.
so i thought i would share some photos.
my very talented,
amazing, photographer-friend,
julia pearson, took these photos.
"quick! come over! i want to get
some photos of you before you have him!"
she said last tuesday when i was told
i was dilated so much.


click here to see other photos from the set.


julia is also going
to work her magic and record our son's birth.
but don't worry...i won't be posting them here.
hee..

our shortie will be here soon!

are we there yet?

39 weeks and counting...



"the good news is
that you're dilated
4 to 5 centimeters"
said my midwife
this afternoon.
(10cm and you start pushing)

"everything's going beautifully.
it could be tomorrow
or next week.
your body is progressing
towards the birth
of your son."
she smiled at me
through her wise eyes.

tears.
i get to meet him soon.
tears.
i can't believe this is finally happening.

it could be any day now.

our beautiful baby will be in our arms.

sunday pink

i made watermelon gazpacho yesterday
for our bradley birth class reunion.
yum!
that would have been an excellent pink photo.
but it was eaten.

so i dug through some of my favorite pink shots
from the last year to share with you.

it has been a fun color week!
thank you for all who stopped by.
let's do it again sometime...soon!

sat-red-day

when i was a kid,
my friend, susan, used
to sing this song:
"red, red, pee in the bed
soak it up with gingerbread".

and to this day, i think:
"what the hell does that mean?"

that song will alway come to mind though
everytime i hear the word red.

thanks, susan...









tomorrow is the last day for color week
and it is all about the color pink!

i don't have any songs about pink.
do you?

orange you glad it's friday?

whenever i think of orange,
i automatically think of an
ice cold orange crush.
or a stewart's orange creme.

orange is the color that
sums up summer.











tomorrow? saturday reds...

white/brown/black

trying to be distracted by
color week
as my boy is rolling all
across the inside of my torso.

papaya tablets are my new best friend
as he nestles up into my sternum.

sigh.

enjoy today's color trio!

lovely color.

tuesday blues-day

i feel like i am going to pop.
i literally lumber down the hallway,
my swollen feet trying to support
this 30lb. baby-ball that my womb has become.

it was over 100 degrees today
and i was feeling a bit blue until
i created this post for color week.

today is shades-of-blue day.

yellow monday

my baby-kitten shortie at the annual pool party last week.
i went and swam and caught up with the happenin's and goin' ons.


ripe apricots from the farmers' market

a year has gone by since i last did color week.
andrea has started the challenge this time
and i am loving the distraction from my
ever-growing-belly.

see you tomorrow for tuesday blues...
