Happy Birthday to Me

This lovely camera arrived today and I am so excited! We decided with our new little one on the way we would like to have a nice camera for documenting all the wonderful things she will be doing. We decided to make it my birthday present, as it isn't something I felt like we could justify buying just any old time. It took us a few months to decide what we wanted, but now we finally have it and I am looking forward to playing around with it so I have a clue how to use it by the time she is born.

I realized I never actually posted about my birthday, so here are a few memories from the birthday weekend...

My wonderful parents were in town (for Russel's graduation, and it just occurred to me that I never posted about that either) and we went to the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria

Hanging out in Old Town

We also took a drive out to Lurray, VA and enjoyed the beautiful countryside and this lovely old church.

On the actual day, posing with my cake and my cute nephews, Jimmy and Dane. They were busy checking out the cake and waiting to sing happy birthday so they could dive in.

At the end of a great birthday, with my sweetheart.

And just for fun, here is a picture of me at 29 1/2 weeks. Hard to believe baby girl still has 10-11 weeks of growing to do...scary.

It's Official

I must be pregnant.

All in the past week I have had strangers come up and touch my belly, heard unsolicited advice about the best way to deliver (without an epidural of course, because what kind of person would drug themselves while experiencing the miracle of life) and been talked about as "that pregnant lady" as I have walked by.

I feel a bit like a walking circus act.
